Description

"Agent for keratin fibers"

The present invention relates to compositions for use on keratin fibers, as well as the use of these agents for temporary deformation and / or care keratin-containing fibers.

In principle, all animal hair, e.g. Wool, horsehair, angora hair, furs, feathers and products or textiles made from them. Preferably, however, the keratinic fibers are human hair and in the temporary transformation keratinhaltiger fibers to the temporary deformation of hair into a hairstyle.

An attractive-looking hairstyle is now generally considered an indispensable part of a well-groomed appearance. Due to current fashion trends, hairstyles are always considered to be chic, which in many hair types can only be built up using firming agents or can be maintained for a longer period of time up to several days. Temporary shapes that should give a good hold, without affecting the healthy appearance of the hair, such as their gloss, can be achieved for example by hair sprays, hair waxes, hair gels, hair mousses, hair drier, etc. In particular, hair gels or creams enjoy the consumer's great popularity, as these types of products can be applied during the shaping simply with your hands on the hair. The gels or creams must have a sufficiently high viscosity for this purpose. In addition, this viscosity must remain stable, especially during storage and during application. On thickened creams or gels, the salts of perspiration on the skin surface often have a viscosity-reducing effect. Without a stable product viscosity, the gel or cream runs down the hair or drips from the hands during the application.

Temporary shaping agents usually contain synthetic polymers as the shaping component. Preparations containing a dissolved or dispersed polymer can be applied to the hair by means of propellant gases or by a pumping mechanism. In particular, however, hair gels and hair waxes are generally not applied directly to the hair, but distributed by means of a comb or hands in the hair. The most important property of a composition for the temporary deformation of keratinic fibers, also referred to below as styling agent, is to give the treated fibers in the produced form the strongest possible hold. Is the keratinic fibers human? Hair, one speaks of strong hairstyle or the high degree of hold of the styling agent. The hairstyle hold is essentially determined by the type and amount of the synthetic polymer used, but also an influence of the other constituents of the styling agent may be given. In addition to a high degree of hold, styling agents must meet a whole range of other requirements. These may be broadly subdivided into properties on the hair, properties of the particular formulation, eg properties of the foam, of the gel or of the sprayed aerosol, and of properties which affect the handling of the styling agent, whereby the properties on the hair are of particular importance. Particularly noteworthy are moisture resistance, low tackiness and a balanced conditioning effect. Furthermore, a styling agent should be universally applicable as possible for all hair types. In order to meet the different requirements, a large number of synthetic polymers has already been developed, which are used in styling agents. Ideally, when applied to hair, the polymers give a polymer film which, on the one hand, gives the hairstyle strong hold but, on the other hand, is sufficiently flexible not to break under stress. If the polymer film is too brittle, it results in the formation of so-called Filmpiaken, that is residues that detach during the movement of the hair and give the impression that the user of the corresponding styling agent would dandruff. Developing styling agents that have all the desired properties in combination is still difficult. In particular, this applies to the combination of strong grip on the one hand and flexible grip on the other. To impart a strong hold, the fixing polymer must adhere well to the keratinous fiber and form a sufficiently hard film. However, the resulting polymer film is not intended to give the hair tactility of a board, but to allow the fibers a degree of flexibility without losing the imprinted styling of the hair (hairstyle).

The object of the present invention was therefore to provide a means for the temporary deformation of keratinic fibers, which can be applied well with the hands, is characterized by a high degree of hold and still gives the fibers flexibility and no Filmpiaken forms.

It has now surprisingly been found that this can be achieved by a combination of a specific polymer with at least one polyol having at least three hydroxyl groups. The combination of active substances according to the invention produces an excellent combination of strong hold and flexible shaping.

Firming polymers contribute to the maintenance and / or build-up of the hair volume and hair fullness of the overall hairstyle. These polymers are also film-forming polymers and therefore generally typical substances for shaping hair treatment agents such as hair fixatives, hair foams, hair waxes, hair sprays. The film formation can be quite selective and connect only a few fibers. As a test method for the firming effect of a polymer, the so-called curl retention test is often used.
