Description

HAIR CARE SYSTEM

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to a composition for treating human scalp and hair and particularly relates to a process for enhancing the growth of hair.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The aging process as well as heredity have been long known to contribute to hair loss. In particular, the aging process tends to deplete the production of moisturizing agents such as natural human oils as well as cause the loss of hair growth.

Various attempts have heretofore been employed in order to strengthen hair growth or structure, moisturize the scalp, and minimize the loss of hair growth.

For example. United States Patent No. 321,487 relates to a hair restorative and in particular consists of lime, plumbago, borax, bees wax, tallow, salt and lac sulphur.

Moreover, United States Patent No. 3,168,538 teaches novel compounds and methods of producing sulphinate surface active agents which can be employed in cosmetic preparations and particular in a variety of shampoo formulations due to their high foaming. Yet another shampoo composition is disclosed_in United States Patent No. 3,267,039 which consists essentially of treithylonolamine lauryl sulphate in the range from 5% to 25% by weight.

Moreover United States Patent No. 4,946,678 relates to a process of treating human scalp and hair composition comprising the steps of:

(a) applying a sanitizing agent to the balding area of the scalp to open and sanitize the pores and hair follicles of the scalp;

(b) applying heat and a soft agent to soften and separate sebum deposits in the pores and follicles of the scalp once they have been opened by the application of the sanitizing agent;

(c) then rinsing the scalp to remove deposits and agent previously applied thereto; and

(d) then applying chalaza mixture to the scalp to nourish the roots and papillae of the hair in the scalp.

Finally, United States Patent No. 5,017,368 relates to composition for application to hair or scalp which comprises at least one compound selected from the group consisting of forskolin and derivatives thereof and peptide.

These and other compositions have a limited utility.

It is an object of this invention to utilize and improve compositions for treating human scalp and hair compositions.

(g) leaving the cleansing solution on said scalp.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

It has been found that by utilizing a conditioner having the following composition, the hair of an individual tends to grow and thereby retarding the balding process as well as rejuvenating the growth of hair:

water approximately 435.0 gm. cetyl alcohol approximately 12.5 gm. standamul 100ZK approximately 12.5 gm. proteins approximately 35.0gm. citric acid approximately 2.5 gm. honey approximately 0.5 gm. wheat germ oil approximately 0.5 gm. lecithin approximately 0.5 gm. herbal extract approximately 0.5 gm. methylchloroisothiazolinone approximately 0.5 gm.

Moreover, the protein utilized in the conditioner comprises of a milk amino acid.

It is the conditioner which apparently encourages the growth of hair.

However, it has also been found that by utilizing the combination of the conditioner as outlined above with shampoo having the following formulation that the growth of hair is further improved, namely:

water approximately 257.5 gm. sodium lauryl ether sulfate approximately 200.0 gm. cocamidopropyl betaine approximately 10.0 gm. cocamide DEA approximately 10.0 gm. sodium laureth sulfate and a pearlizing agent approximately 5.0 gm. citric acid approximately 2.5 gm. proteins approximately 2.5 gm. honey approximately 0.5 gm. wheat germ oil approximately 0.5 gm. lecithin approximately 0.5 gm.

F D & C blue #1 approximately Q.S.

F D & C yellow #5 approximately Q.S. methylchloroisothiazolinone approximately 0.5 gm. sodium chloride approximately lO.Ogm. It has been found that good results are observed by utilizing glycol disterate and cocamide DEA as the pearlizing agent. Furthermore, the protein used in the shampoo comprises also milk amino acids.

Furthermore, by utilizing the composition and formula of the conditioner and shampoo once a day, good results are observed in the growth of hair in balding areas.

Moreover, it has been found that the hair treatment system described heretofore is somewhat improved by utilizing a cleansing solution having the following ingredients in percentage by volume based on the volume of the total composition of the cleansing solution, namely:

The cleansing solution is utilized to keep the scalp clean and to remove dead skin. Good results are observed by using the cleansing solution three times a day.

The cleansing solution cleans the scalp while the formulation of the conditioner and shampoo moisturizes and enhances the growth of hair. Moreover the letters Q.S. indicate quantum sufficient or mean "enough" .

It has been found that good results are achieved in treating the human scalp and hair by utilizing the compositions referred to above and in particular by the steps of:

(a) applying the shampoo referred to above to the hair and scalp and massaging the scalp and hair for a period of at least 5 minutes;

(b) rinsing the shampoo;

(c) applying the conditioner with the formulation referred to above and massaging the scalp for a period of at least 5 minutes;

(d) leaving the conditioner on said hair and scalp with a heating cap to permit the conditioner to penetrate into the pores of the scalp for a period of approximately 20 minutes;

(e) rinsing the conditioner; and

(f) then applying the cleansing solution referred to above to the scalp for removing deposits of dead skin having the formulation described herein; and (g) leaving the cleansing solution on said scalp.
