Definitions

• the present invention which is the result of long, systematic research, concerns a treatment which may be applied in practically all cases and on practically all hair and which substantially improves the cosmetic properties thereof.
• One object of the present invention is a new process for treating hair with a view to improving its cosmetic properties.
• This process is essentially characterized by the fact that an aqueous solution is applied to the hair, said solution containing at least one compound selected from the group consisting of aliphatic or aromatic dialdehydes, aldehyde alcohols, aldehyde polyalcohols and polyaldehyde polyalcohols.
• compositions containing about 0.01 to 8 percent of active compounds such as those mentioned above.
• active compounds such as those mentioned above.
• These compositions are applied to the hair during a period of from 15 to 60 minutes, for example, at a temperature of from 15 to 60 C. and preferably around 35 to 40 C.
• active compounds which may be used according to the invention are glycolaldehyde, glyceric aldehyde, glutaric aldehyde, terephthalic aldehyde, orthophthalic aldehyde, starch dialdehyde, 2-hydroxymethyl-4-methoxy-3-oxa pentane dial, 4,6-diformyl-2,4,8-trihydroxymethyl-3,5,7-trioxanonanedial, 4,6,8,11-tetraformyl-2,4,13-trihydroxymethyl- 3,5,7,10,12-penta oxa tetradecane dial and, in general, dialdehydes obtained by oxidizing monoor polysaccharides with a periodic acid, these dialdehydes having given particularly valuable results in the tests which have been run.
• the treatment process according to the invention has been shown to be practically universal and may be used in numerous cases such as: on natural hair, on hair more or less strongly bleached, on permanently waved hair and even in certain cases on hair in the reduced state, such as when the first stage of a conventional permanent wave has been carried out and when the treatment according to the invention is carried out before the second so-called neutralization stage.
• the applicants have noted with surprise that the treatment according to the invention permits a notable reduction in the alkaline solubility of the hair, as compared to the results obtained in the course of prior experiments carried out on wool, using solutions containing aldehydes.
• the treatment process according to the invention offers above all the possibility of improving the cosmetic properties of hair and also diminishing the alkaline solubility of the latter, which may be advantageous in certain cases.
• Another object of the present invention is to provide the new article of manufacture consisting of a composition permitting the treatment of hair with a view to improving its cosmetic properties.
• This composition is essentially characterized by the fact that it contains at least one compound chosen from the group consisting of aliphatic or aromatic dialdehydes, aldehyde alcohols, aldehyde polyalcohols or polyaldehyde polyalcohols.
• compositions according to the invention may be in the form of aqueous or water-alcohol solutions of the active compounds named above, the concentration of the active compounds ranging for example from 0.01 to 8 percent, and the pH of these compositions varying from 3 to 10.
• Another object of the present invention is to provide a composition for the treatment of hair, characterized by the fact that it contains at least one of the following compounds: glycolaldehyde, glyceric aldehyde, glutaric aldehyde, terephthalic aldehyde, orthophthalic aldehyde, starch dialdehyde, Z-hydroxy-methyl-4-methoxy-3-oxa pentane dial, 4,6- diformyl-2,4,8-trihydroxy-methyl-3,5,7-trioxa nonanedial, 4,6,8,11-tetraformyl-2,4,l3-trihydroxymethyl-3,5,7,10,12- penta oxa tetradecane dial, and, in general dialdehydes obtained by oxidizing monoor polysaccharides with periodic acid.
• EXAMPLE 1 After having rigorously bleached a womans hair, a lotion according to the invention is applied to half of it, this lotion consisting of a 1 percent aqueous solution of glutaric aldehyde. The application is made on dampened hair.
• the hair is clearly easier to comb, whether wet or dry. Moreover, that part of the hair is softer and less electric and the color is also more satisfactorily set therein.
• EXAMPLE 2 Half of a coiffure which has been previously washed and dried is treated with a lotion according to the invention, this lotion consisting of a 4 percent solution of glutaric aldehyde.
• the whole head of hair is then rigorously bleached, followed by redyeing using oxidation dyes.
• the hair is much easier to comb, whether wet or dry. Moreover, on the treated side, the hair is much easier to comb, whether wet or dry. Moreover, on the treated side, the hair is much easier to comb, whether wet or dry. Moreover, on the treated side, the hair is much easier to comb, whether wet or dry.

• EXAMPLE 3 Half of a dampened coiffure, which was previously rigorously bleached, is treated with a lotion according to the invention, this lotion consisting of a 1 percent aqueous solution of glycol-aldehyde.
• the hair is given a permanent without a new application of the lotion according to the invention.
• the hair is much softer and much easier to comb out whether wet or dry. Moreover, on the treated side, the hair curls more beautifully.
