Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for hair dyeing or bleaching. Further, the present invention relates to a hair dye or bleach kit to be used for the method for hair dyeing or bleaching.
  • a liquid-like or cream-like agent has been in wide use for a long time as a two-part hair dye agent or a two-part hair bleach agent.
  • a viscosity of the agent to be applied to hair is adjusted to be high on the order of 1000 to 10000 mPa ⁇ s to prevent dropping when being left. Accordingly, it is difficult to evenly spread the agent and to sufficiently apply the agent to hair roots. This is the reason of the above.
  • skills such as blocking and using coupled mirrors are required for applying the agent to roots of hair or the back of the head, so that operation thereof takes a lot of time.
  • Patent Literature 1 a product to discharge liquid mixture of a two-part hair dye agent or a two-part bleach agent from a non-aerosol foamer container in a foam-like fashion.
  • the liquid mixture can be applied easily and evenly to hair even by a person who is not familiar therewith as discharging the liquid mixture of a first agent and a second agent from the non-aerosol foamer container in a foam-like fashion.
  • color unevenness is less likely to occur on finish.
  • the liquid mixture since the liquid mixture can be easily applied, skills such as blocking and using coupled minors are not required and the time required for the operation is much shortened compared to a traditional product. Owing to the above advantages, the products disclosed in the literature have been commercially successful as obtaining a large market share in spite of being launched onto the market relatively recently.
  • a pump foamer is widely known as a non-aerosol foamer container and is widely used as a container for daily-use products such as foamy-like cleaner for hand-wash and cleansing foam.
  • a pump foamer has an advantage that a foam discharge mass per single discharge operation is more likely to be constant. Further, there is also an advantage that foam with a gas-liquid mixing ratio being in a constant range is more likely to be obtained from start to end of discharge operation.
  • most of pump foamers have a small foam discharge mass per single depression operation as being about 0.5 g.
  • a pump foamer with a foam discharge mass per single depression operation being 1 g or more is known but is not used so much. This is considered to be because of reasons (a) and (b) described below.
  • Foam discharge volume per single discharge operation is determined from foam discharge mass (g) per single discharge operation and a gas-liquid mixing ratio (mL/g).
  • the gas-liquid mixing ratio cannot be largely varied from a viewpoint of usability of the obtained foam. Therefore, the foam discharge volume is to be adjusted mainly by the discharge mass.
  • the foam discharge volume per single discharge operation is proportional to volume of an air chamber of the pump foamer. Therefore, to increase the discharge volume per one time, it is required to increase the volume of the air chamber of the pump foamer.
  • To increase the volume of the air chamber it is required to satisfy either or both of (1) increasing height of the air chamber and (2) enlarging a diameter of a traverse section of the air chamber.
  • (1) since depressing distance (stroke) of one time is lengthened by the amount thereof, the height cannot be increased so much from a viewpoint of usability.
  • stroke depressing distance
  • the diameter cannot be enlarged so much from viewpoints of transportability, usability and the like of products with the container.
  • a pump foamer which is used widely and generally has foam discharge mass per single depression operation being about 0.5 g. Therefore, in a case of using generous quantity of foam at one time, the number of pushing a pump head becomes large. In a case of foamy-like cleaner for hand-wash or cleansing foam, since foam mass per one time of washing or cleansing is about 1 g at most, the number of pushing the pump head may be small as being about 2 to 3 times. Since a user is not burdened so much with such a level of times, the above has not become obvious until now as a problem to be solved.
  • depression pressure of the pump head is set to be considerably high by strengthening a spring so that the pump head is instantly returned to an original position before depression when depressing force of the pump head is released after the pump head is completely depressed.
  • a product with which large quantity of an agent on the order of 100 g for one time of entire dyeing operation is required to be applied to hair in a short time being about 5 to 10 minutes like a two-part hair dye agent, it is required to push the pump head 100 times or more in a short time. In such a case, a physical burden for a user becomes larger.
  • the present inventor further recognized another problem.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a technology to smoothly use a two-part foam-like hair dye agent using a pump foamer.
  • the present inventor recognized that selecting a pump foamer which discharges foam with mass being in a specific range per single depression operation provides smooth usability of the pump foamer as a foam discharge container for a two-part foam-like hair dye agent through a hard study thereof, so that the present invention was completed.
  • the present inventor recognized that using the pump foamer which discharges foam with mass being in a specific range per single depression operation causes a new problem which is previously non-existent as a foam discharge container for a two-part foam-like hair dye agent. Then, the present inventor recognized that adopting a pump foamer having a specific configuration as means to solve the new problem provides smooth usability of the pump foamer as a foam discharge container for a two-part foam-like dye agent, so that the present invention was completed.

Setting the discharge mass of the pump foamer container to be larger provides following advantages. For example, in a case to dye or bleach entire semi-long hair (having length to the extent of reaching a shoulder), it is estimated that quantity of the liquid mixture 3 necessary for the above is about 100 g. Here, dyeing or bleaching operation is required to be completed before chemical reaction between the first agent 1 and the second agent 2 proceeds.

  • Enlarged capacity of the air chamber 21 requires enlarging of capacity of the pump foamer container and further requires enlarging of capacity of the hair beauty preparation kit. Further, when discharge quantity per single depression operation is simply enlarged, it becomes hard to be used owing to increased depression pressure due to increased resistance of liquid mixture when depressing the pump head.

  • the operation of putting from an approximately upright state to an inverted or falling-over state and returning again to the approximately upright state is performed 1 to 15 times preferably, 2 to 10 times more preferably, and 3 to 7 times even more preferably. Since the viscosity of the first agent 1 and the second agent 2 used for the present invention is much lower than that of a gel-like or cream-like agent type, the homogeneous liquid mixture 3 can be easily obtained even with the above-mentioned slow shaking of the pump foamer container 30 .
