, This invention relates to methods of and' compositions for the treatment-of hair, and particularly, for imparting a permanent wave thereto. 7
An object of the invention is to provide an improved method of softening hair and building u the body thereof without deleteriously a ecting the same.
More specifically, the invention has for its object the provision of the method whereby a tres of hair may be subjected to a softening action of a dilute alkaline material which will not be harmful to the hair, as, for example, the softening action of am-- moniagas, while simultaneously depositing thereon and in the pores thereof a body sub-- stance, such as keratin, during the permanent Wave treatment.
A further ,object is directed to the provision of a composition for use in a method such as outlined above.
The invention accordingly comprises a method and a composition both as exemplified in the following detailed disclosure and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the claims.
The invention is in certain aspects an improvement. on the method described and claimed in my co-pending application, Serial No. 131,813, filed August 26, 1926, and is primarily directed to the softening of and imparting body to human hair in order to increase the weight and improve the texture thereof and to permit the normal contour of the strands to bealtered in such manner, for example, as will produce the effect commonly known as a permanent wave, and, accordingly, the same will be exemplified in connection with a permanent waving treatment. With the use of the compositions included in the present invention such permanent waving may be carried out in any convenient manner, such as, for example, by any of the methods suggested in my said co-pending application,
The present invention contemplates subjecting the hair to the softening influence of a dilute alkali and substantially simultaneously treating the hair with keratin or keratin-containing substances, which latter ingredients will become largely absorbed by, and fixed upon, the hair during the heating and cooling operations which are afforded by the permanent waving-treatment per se.
Application fled November 12, 1986. Serial No. 8,108.
may be prepared in substantially the following proportions:
Keratin 1 gram. Aqua ammonia (26) 10 cc. Water'q. s. ad 100 cc.
, nthe above solution keratin-containing substances may be used in place of keratin and other unstable alkaline materials c0ntaming ammoniain combination, and adapted to release ammonia when heated, such as the ammonium borates specified in my said co-pending application may also be used. Also, other dilute alkaline agents which are non-harmful to the hair, such as other borates or alkaline carbonates, may be used. For example, it has been found that a satisfactory material for use in the softening of hair and the facilitating of the deposition of keratin is ammonium carbonate. This material is particularly efficient because of the large amount of ammonia released there from; A' suitable concentration of either of the materials is, for example, 10 grams of the alkaline material. in place of the aquaammonia specified in the above composition.
In such cases the keratin in the mixture is partially in solution and partially in a finely divided state of suspension. The hair which is to be waved is moistened with the semi-solution of keratin, and after the pads, layers of insulating material and tubes are in position, heat is applied. This heat brings the temperature of the hair to about 100 C. and is maintained for a period of approximately ten minutes. If the ammonia or ammonium-containing alkaline agents above specified arev used as the alkaline agent, this heat will cause an evolution of ammonia which, with the corresponding reduction in the solubility of the keratin in the moisture remaining, will effectively accomplish the desired results.
The water is also largely driven ofi during this heating operation and therefore, even in the case of the mineral alkalis, the keratin in solution is deposited in the pores of the hair. The fixation of the permanent wave is also further developed by the cooling of the hair after the heaters are removed, and in those cases where mineral alkalis have been used it has been found advantageous to thereafter rinse the hair in a very dilute acid sufiicient to neutralize any free alkali which may remain.
The use of the suggested mixtures containing keratin has been found to be particularl advantageous in the treatment of hair wh 1c has been partially oxidized or otherwise 1maired by reason of the chemicals used in dyeing or bleaching treatments, since the keratin enters into the pores of the hair and 15 de osited on the hair, thereby restoring the b0 y and texture thereof.
Since certain changes in carrying out the above process and in the composition which embod the invention may be made without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of the scope of the invention which as a matter of language might be said to fall therebetween.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A method of treatin hair, which includes depositing keratin t ereon and in the pores thereof while applying heat to the hair.
2. cludes bringing into proximity with the hair to be treated a semi-solution of keratin adapted to deposit keratin thereon at an elevated temperature, and applying heat to the hair.
3. A method of treating hair, which includes bringing into proximitywith the hair to be treated a liquid medium containing keratin and a material adapted to release A method of treating hair, which in ammonia 'gas upon the application of heat, and applying heat thereto.
4. A method of treatin hair, which includes depositing keratin t ereon in the presence of ammonia gas.
5. A method of treating hair, which includes bringing into proximity with the hair to be treated a semi-solution of keratin in an alkaline agent which evolves ammonia at an elevated temperature, and applying heat to the hair.
6. A method of imparting a permanent wave to hair, which includes bringing into proximity with the hair to be treated a semisolution of keratin in dilute aqua ammonia, and applying heat thereto.
7. A method of imparting a permanent wave to hair, which includes bringing into proximity with the hair to be treated a semisolution of keratin in dilute aqua ammonia, and heating the hair to a temperature of approximately 100 C.
8. A hair-treating composition, including keratin and a material adapted to release ammonium gas.
9. A hair-treating composition, including keratin and an unstable ammonium compound.
10. A hair-treating composition, including keratin and aqua-ammonia.
11. A hair-treating composition, including the following ingredients in substantially the following proportions: keratin, 1 gram; aqua-ammonia, (26), 10 00.; water q. s. ad. 100 cc.
12. A composition for the purpose described, including a material which when heated emits hair-softening fumes, and also including a material 'which is thermoplastic.
13. A composition for the purpose described, inclu ing a hair-softening material, and a material soluble in the first-mentioned material which when applied to the hair filaments may be permitted to harden thereon to rigidify the hair into a wave form toward which the hair may be curled while softened.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
