Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] This invention relates to a hair polisher for rubbing and polishing hair.

[Conventional technology]

It is already known to use silicone as a hair polishing agent (for example, JP-A-52-66638).
. Traditional polishing agents are used as one of the raw materials for hair styling products, and are made from other hair styling ingredients such as silicones and humectants.
We manufacture liquid hair styling products that have comprehensive hair styling effects such as shine, moisturizing, and hair protection. Such hair styling agents are applied by applying with fingers or the like, or by wetting the hair with a spray or the like, and then styling the hair with a comb, brush, fingers, or the like.

As a device for applying such hair styling products to the hair.

A hair styling agent applicator having a soft porous body such as a sponge is known (for example, JP-A-49-82982), and is used to apply a liquid hair styling agent to hair.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Conventional hair shine agents are applied or sprayed in liquid form as a component of a comprehensive hair conditioner, and dry to give shine to the hair, so they have not been able to produce excellent shine. When styling your hair with a comb, brush, fingers, etc.
This was done after applying the hair conditioner and before drying it, and the polishing effect of rubbing could not be expected. Has a soft porous material! The I hair product applicator was also used to apply a hair styling product in liquid form, and was similar to the case in which hair styling products were applied with fingers or the like. In addition, conventional products require separate operations for application and hair styling, and have problems such as unavoidable stickiness on the hair surface.

This invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and has a simple structure and operation that allows hair to be coated with a polishing agent and rubbed on the hair to create excellent shine without stickiness. The purpose is to provide polishers.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention is a hair polisher for rubbing and polishing hair, characterized by comprising a soft porous body to which a polishing agent containing silicone is adhered or impregnated.

The polishing agent contains silicone as an active ingredient. Silicone is a polymer of organosilicon compounds,
Oil-like or grease-like materials such as silicone oil or silicone grease are preferred. Such silicones include methylpolysiloxane, methylphenylpolysiloxane, cyclic silicone, as well as fatty acid-modified, aliphatic alcohol-modified, amino-modified, polyether-modified,
There are modified polysiloxanes such as fluorine-modified, alkyl-modified, and polyoxyalkylene-modified polysiloxanes, and these can be used singly or in combination of two or more. The silicone is preferably one that is not sticky during use, and its viscosity is preferably about 10 to 1000 cSt at 25°C.

The polishing agent used in the present invention contains silicone as an active ingredient, and it is preferable to mix wax with it. Waxes include natural waxes such as carnauba wax, paraffin wax, squalene, beeswax, and montan wax, as well as synthetic waxes such as polyethylene wax and microcrystalline wax, and these can be used singly or in combination of two or more. It is. These waxes preferably have a melting point of 50 to 100°C.

In addition to these ingredients, the polishing agent used in the present invention may contain a hair softener, a hair fixative, a fragrance, a dye, a hair protectant, a pH adjuster, an antistatic agent, etc. Examples of softening agents include polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, triethanolamine, higher alcohols, and quaternary ammonium salts.
Examples of hair fixatives include vinylpyrrolidone (co)polymers and acrylic acid ester (co)polymers.6 Hair protection agents include keratin hydrolysates. Examples of pH adjusters include organic acids such as fumaric acid and maleic acid. Antistatic agents include cetyl chloride, trimethylammonium,
Examples include benzalkonium chloride. These are all 1
It is possible to use a single species or a mixture of two or more species.

A polishing agent is produced by mixing the above components. It is preferable to select the viscosity, blending ratio, etc. of each component so that the polishing agent does not become sticky during use.A solvent or the like may be used to uniformly blend each component.

The hair polisher of the present invention is equipped with a soft porous body to which the polishing agent described above is attached or impregnated, and it is preferable that the polishing agent is attached or impregnated so as not to cause stickiness. Examples of the soft porous material include sponge, cloth, and nonwoven fabric, and each can be used alone or in combination.

To attach or impregnate a soft porous material with a polishing agent, the above-mentioned polishing agent may be directly attached or impregnated into the soft porous material, but the polishing agent may be dissolved in an organic solvent such as toluene, or a suitable emulsifier may be used. The polishing agent can be attached or impregnated onto the soft porous material by immersing or adhering the foam to something dispersed or emulsified in water using a surfactant, etc., and then volatilizing the solvent, water, etc. and drying it. When higher alcohols such as lauryl alcohol and myristyl alcohol are preferably used as the solvent, the entire amount does not necessarily need to be volatilized because these solvents act as softeners.

Although the soft porous body to which a polishing agent is attached or impregnated can be used as a hair polisher by itself, it is preferable to support it with a support as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.

1 to 4 each show a hair polisher according to another embodiment of the invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a soft porous body made of a sponge impregnated with a polishing agent, and is supported by a plate-shaped support 2, which is a soft porous body 1.
It has a brush 3 made of soft resin that protrudes through it, and has a handle 4 at one end. The soft porous body 1 may be attached to the support body 2 after being attached or impregnated with a polishing agent, or conversely, the polishing agent may be attached to or impregnated with the support body 2 after being attached to the support body 2.

Although the brushes 3 are provided on the entire surface in FIG. 1, they are provided on both side edges in FIG. 2, and may be provided only on other parts. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the acquired brush 3 is made of soft resin and formed into a solid shape, but it may also be formed into a comb shape of hard resin or bristles. In FIG. 3, it is formed of a soft porous material. 1 has a structure in which a sponge is wrapped in cloth, and the brush 3 is omitted. Further, in FIG. 4, the handle 4 is further omitted and the lid 5 is attached. The shape, structure, supporting method, etc. of the soft porous body to which the polishing agent is attached or impregnated can be changed as desired.

[For production]

The hair polisher configured as described above rubs the hair with a soft porous body to which a polishing agent is attached or impregnated, thereby applying the polishing agent attached to or impregnated to the soft porous body to the hair and removing stickiness. Generates luster on the hair without adding shine.

In this case, in the case of a polisher consisting only of a soft porous material to which a polishing agent is attached or impregnated, the soft porous material can be rubbed directly onto the hair or by holding it with a plastic film or the like.

The soft porous material 1 is rubbed onto the hair by holding the handle 4 of the polisher shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and by the support 2 of the polisher shown in FIG. 4, respectively. In the polisher shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a polishing agent is applied to each hair by rubbing it with a soft porous body 1, and a gloss is generated by the friction of the brush 3. In the polisher shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the soft porous body 1 performs the application of the polishing agent and the friction for generating gloss.

When hair is rubbed with a soft porous body to which a polishing agent is attached or impregnated as described above, the polishing agent is applied to the hair and gloss is generated due to the friction. In particular, if the polish is applied or impregnated in a non-sticky state, an excellent gloss will be produced even if the polish is applied and rubbed at the same time, and this tendency is noticeable when the polish contains silicone and wax. be. In addition, if a brush 3 is formed in the polisher as shown in FIGS.
It is possible to generate a gloss by rubbing with the rubber, and an even better gloss is generated.

If you continue to use the polishing agent and the polishing agent runs out, you can replenish the polishing agent, but you may use it in a disposable manner. Furthermore, the polishing device described above can be used not only for regular use at home, but also for portable use, such as when traveling.
