Description

COMPOSITION FOR CARE OF HAIR COMPRISING HYDROPHOBICALLY MODIFIED CELLULOSE CATIÓN TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a hair care composition containing a hydrophobically modified cationic cellulose having a certain molecular weight that provides good conditioning benefits.

BACKGROUND Human hair gets dirty due to its contact with the environment that surrounds it and due to the sebum secreted by the scalp. When the hair is dirty, it has an unpleasant sensation and an unattractive appearance. When the hair is dirty, shampoo needs to be given regularly. The application of shampoo to the hair removes excess bait and other environmental dirt however it has the disadvantage that the hair is left in a wet, matted and relatively unwieldy state. The application of shampoo can also cause the hair to dry out due to to the removal of natural oils and other hair moisturizing materials. After applying the shampoo, the hair can also suffer from some loss P968 of perceived "softness". The frequent application of shampoo also contributes to the phenomenon of "split ends", particularly in long hair. Open ends refer to a condition where the ends of the hair open in two or more, resulting in a curly appearance. A variety of approaches have been developed to condition the hair. These range from rinsing the hair after applying the shampoo, to conditioners that are left in the hair without rinsing, or even including hair conditioning components in the shampoos. When these hair conditioning compositions are formulated as shampoos and conditioners, they typically have a thickened product form, for example a gelocrema, to facilitate application to the hair. When these hair conditioning compositions are formulated as hair foams and sprays, they typically contain a hair-fixing polymer to provide the benefits of hair styling or styling. Hydrophobically modified cationic celluloses such as Polyquaternium-24 are known in the art as hair conditioning agents that provide smoothness and softness to hair, as in the publication of Japanese Patents exposed to the public.

P968 S61-181801 and H7-304637. An example of suitable Polyquaternium-24 polymers is that of the trade name QUATERISOFT POLYMER LM-200, supplied by Amerchol. Hair conditioning compositions in the form of shampoos and conditioners have conventionally been based on the combination of a cationic surfactant, for example a quaternary ammonium compound, in combination with solid aliphatic compounds such as fatty alcohols. These combinations generally result in a gel network structure which gives the compositions a creamy and thick texture and thus makes the composition easy to apply to the hair. However, when the hydrophobically modified high cationic celluloses Molecular weight are added to these product forms, these compounds accumulate with the gel network to make the formulation so viscous that it provides a negative sticky feeling in the hair. In addition, viscous formulations are difficult to process. Hair conditioning compositions in the form of hair mousses and sprays typically also contain a hair-setting polymer to provide hair styling benefits. However, when hydrophobically modified high molecular weight cationic celluloses are added to these product forms, these products are P968 accumulate with the hair fixing polymers, particularly those with anionic and / or hydrophobic entities, and the formulation becomes so viscous that it can not be dispensed from the containers used for hair foams and sprays. Based on the foregoing, there is a need for a hair conditioning composition that can include hydrophobically modified cationic celluloses in combination with components imparting viscosity to the composition to provide the preferred conditioning benefits. No prior art provides all the advantages and benefits of this invention.

Also incorporated herein by reference in its entirety is the publication "Silicon Compounds" distributed by Petrarch Systems, Inc., 1984. This reference provides an extensive but non-exclusive listing of suitable silicone polymers. Other dispersed and non-volatile silicones that may be especially useful are silicone golas. The term "silicone gum", as used herein, refers to a polyorganosiloxane material having a viscosity at 25 ° C greater than or equal to 1,000,000 centistokes. It is recognized that the silicone rubbers described herein may also have some overlap with the silicone polymers discussed above. This overlap is not intended to be a limitation of any of these materials. Silicone gums are described by Petrarch et al., Including U.S. Patent No. 4,152,416 to Spitzer et al., Issued May 1, 1979 and Noli Publication, Walter, Chemistry and Technology of Silicones, New York: Academic Press 1968. All the silicone rubbers described are from the Product Data Sheets of General Electric Silicone Rubber SE 30, SE 33, SE 54 and SE 76. All of these described references are incorporated by reference in their entirety. "Silicone gums" will typically have a molecular weight greater than P968 about 200,000, generally between about 200,000 and about 1,000,000. Specific examples include polydimethylsiloxane, copolymer of poly (dimethylsiloxane methylvinylsiloxane) copolymer of poly (dimethylsiloxane diphenylsiloxane methylvinylsiloxane) and mixtures thereof. Also useful are silicone resins, which are highly cross-linked polymeric siloxane systems. Cross-linking is introduced through the incorporation of trifunctional and tetrafunctional silanes with monofunctional or difunctional silanes, or both, during the manufacture of the silicone resin. As is well understood in this field, the degree of crosslinking that is required in order to result in a silicone resin will vary according to the specific silane entities that are incorporated in the silicone resin. In general, silicone materials that have a sufficient level of trifunctional and tetrafunctional siloxane monomer units and, therefore, a sufficient level of crosslinking, so that they are dried to form a rigid or hard film, are considered as resins of silicone The ratio of oxygen atoms to silicon atoms is indicative of the level of crosslinking in a particular silicone material. Silicone materials that have at least about 1.1 atoms P968 ^^ Z of oxygen for each silicon atom in general will be silicone resins for the present. Preferably, the ratio between oxygen atoms: silicon is at least about 1.2: 1.0. The silanes used in the manufacture of silicone resins include monomethyl-, dimethyl-, trimethyl-, monophenyl-, diphenyl-, methylphenyl-, monovinyl- and methylvinyl-chlorosilanes and tetrachlorosilane, where the methyl-substituted silanes are the most commonly used. Preferred resins are offered by General Electric as GE SS4230 and SS4267. Commercially available silicone resins will generally be supplied in a form dissolved in a low viscosity, volatile or non-volatile silicone fluid. The silicone resins used herein should be supplied and incorporated into the compositions herein in this dissolved form, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Without being limited by theory, it is considered that silicone resins can improve the deposition of other silicones in hair and can improve the lustrousness of hair with high volumes of refractive index. Other useful silicone resins are the silicone resin powders as the materials to which the CTFA designation of polymethylsilsequioxane is provided, which is commercially available as Tospearl ™ from P968 T É TÜMMÜ Toshiba Silicones. The method of manufacturing these silicone polymers can be found in Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering, Volume 15, Second Edition, pp. 204-308, John Willey & Sons, Inc., 1989, which is fully incorporated here as a reference. The silicone resins can be conveniently identified according to an abbreviated nomenclature system well known to those skilled in the art such as the "MDTQ" nomenclature. In this system, the silicone is described according to the presence of several monomeric siloxane units that form the silicone. In summary, the symbol M denotes the monofunctional unit (CH3) 3SiO) 05; D denotes the difunctional unit (CH3) 2SiO; T denotes the trifunctional unit (CH3) SiO) í 5; and Q denotes the quadri or tetrafunctional unit Si02. The prime signs in unit symbols for example, M ', D', T 'and Q' denote substituents other than methyl and must be specifically defined each time they are present. Typical alternating substituents include groups such as vinyl, phenyl, amino, hydroxyl, etc. The molar proportions of the different units, either in terms of subscripts in the symbols that indicate the total number of each type of units in the silicon or an average thereof, or as specifically indicated proportions in combination with P968 molecular weight, complete the description of the silicone material with the MDTQ system. The high relative molar amounts of T, Q, T 'and / or Q' relative to D, D 'M and / or M' in a silicone resin are indicative of high levels of crosslinking. However, as discussed here, the general level of crosslinking can also be indicated by the oxygen to silicon ratio. The silicone resins which are used here and are preferred are the resins MQ, MT, MTQ, MQ and MDTQ. Therefore, the preferred silicone substituent is methyl. MQ resins are especially preferred wherein the M: Q ratio is between about 0.5: 1.0 and the average molecular weight of the resin is from about 1000 to about 10,000.
