Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for treating keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, comprising a first step o f applying a composition, comprising a derivative o f butenedioic acid and an amino silicone, followed by a second step o f heat treatment of the keratin fibres .
- the present invention also relates to the use o f said composition for straightening and/or relaxing keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair.
- the processes for straightening or relaxing the hair generally invo lve reducing agents based on thio l or strong alkaline agents. These techniques are especially based on cleavage o f the disulfide covalent bonds present in the keratin fibres.
- a first technique firstly consists in opening the disulfide bonds by means o f a composition comprising a reducing agent. Then, secondly, said disulfide bonds are re-formed by applying to the hair, which has been rinsed and placed under tension beforehand, for example by means o f ro llers, an oxidizing composition, also referred to as "fixative". This fixing step makes it possible to give the head o f hair the desired shape.
- a second technique consists in performing a lanthionization operation, using a composition containing a base belonging to the hydroxide family. Contrary to the first technique, this second technique does not require a fixing step, since the formation o f the lanthionine bonds is irreversible. It thus makes it possible, without preference, to perform waving, relaxing, uncurling or straightening o f the hair. This technique is more particularly used for relaxing naturally frizzy hair.
- a new technique has recently been developed, which consists in combining a heat treatment step and a step o f applying a composition comprising formaldehyde. This technique is particularly effective for imparting a better appearance to damaged hair and/or for treating long hair and curly hair.
- formaldehyde crosslinks the proteins o f the keratin fibres by reaction on their nucleophilic sites .
- this technique is not ideal, since the use of formaldehyde may prove irritating or even toxic for some consumers .
- these novel straightening and/or relaxing so lutions must make it possible to preserve the co lour of the hair, in particular if the hair is co loured, and also the cosmetic qualities thereo f, such as sheen, a smooth feel, and easy disentangling both when wet and dry.
- a subj ect of the present invention is especially a process for treating keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, preferably bleached, comprising the fo llowing steps :
- Ri and R 2 which are identical or different, independently from one another represent a hydrogen atom, a linear or branched C i to C i o alkyl group, or a linear or branched
- alkyl or alkenyl groups being :
- R 3 represents a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched C i to C 6 alkyl group, and/or
- radicals chosen from hydroxyl, amino, C i to C 6 mono- or dialkylamino , C i to C 6 alkoxy, and carboxyl radicals;
- a step o f mechanical treatment for relaxing the keratin fibres, such as brushing, preferably accompanied by heating from a hairdryer, may be carried out between the first and second step of the process .
- Another subj ect of the present invention relates to a composition as defined in the first step of the process, said composition being aqueous at acid pH.
- Another subj ect of the invention is the use of a composition as defined above for straightening and/or relaxing keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair.
- the process according to the invention makes it possible especially to obtain good curl relaxation and better control o f vo lume . Indeed, the process provides a significant reduction in the vo lume o f the keratin fibres, while respecting the integrity thereof.
- the process according to the invention also makes it possible to confer a "serpentine" movement to the keratin fibres, which is characteristic of Brazilian hair straightening processes, without however requiring the use o f irritating and/or aggressive substances such as formaldehyde.
- the straightening obtained by the process according to the present invention lasts over time and withstands several shampooing operations .
- the process according to the invention makes it possible to preserve the co lour of the keratin fibres, especially if the latter are coloured.
- the keratin fibres treated by the process according to the invention have good cosmetic qualities such as sheen, a smooth and pleasant feel, and easy disentangling both when wet and dry.

Description
Process for treating keratin fibres using a derivative of butenedioic acid and an amino silicone
The present invention relates to a process for treating keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, comprising a first step o f applying a composition, comprising a derivative o f butenedioic acid and an amino silicone, followed by a second step o f heat treatment of the keratin fibres .
The present invention also relates to the use o f said composition for straightening and/or relaxing keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair.
Many people are not satisfied with the appearance of their hair. More particularly, people who have curly hair usually seek to obtain straight hair.
The processes for straightening or relaxing the hair generally invo lve reducing agents based on thio l or strong alkaline agents. These techniques are especially based on cleavage o f the disulfide covalent bonds present in the keratin fibres.
A first technique firstly consists in opening the disulfide bonds by means o f a composition comprising a reducing agent. Then, secondly, said disulfide bonds are re-formed by applying to the hair, which has been rinsed and placed under tension beforehand, for example by means o f ro llers, an oxidizing composition, also referred to as "fixative". This fixing step makes it possible to give the head o f hair the desired shape.
A second technique consists in performing a lanthionization operation, using a composition containing a base belonging to the hydroxide family. Contrary to the first technique, this second technique does not require a fixing step, since the formation o f the lanthionine bonds is irreversible. It thus makes it possible, without preference, to perform waving, relaxing, uncurling or straightening o f
the hair. This technique is more particularly used for relaxing naturally frizzy hair.
However, these two techniques have numerous drawbacks . They especially lead to unpleasant odours during their use. Moreover, they give rise to a certain scalp discomfort and a significant degradation of the keratin fibres.
A new technique has recently been developed, which consists in combining a heat treatment step and a step o f applying a composition comprising formaldehyde. This technique is particularly effective for imparting a better appearance to damaged hair and/or for treating long hair and curly hair.
Indeed, at a temperature that may be up to 200°C or more, for example by means of an iron, formaldehyde crosslinks the proteins o f the keratin fibres by reaction on their nucleophilic sites . However, this technique is not ideal, since the use of formaldehyde may prove irritating or even toxic for some consumers .
This is why it is sought to avoid the use of substances such as formaldehyde.
Consequently, there is a real need to provide novel so lutions for straightening and/or relaxing keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, which do not require the use o f such substances .
These novel so lutions must especially make it possible to obtain good curl relaxation and good control o f vo lume, which last over time. These so lutions must also respect the integrity o f the hair and the scalp , and in particular not irritate the latter.
Moreover, these novel straightening and/or relaxing so lutions must make it possible to preserve the co lour of the hair, in particular if the hair is co loured, and also the cosmetic qualities thereo f, such as sheen, a smooth feel, and easy disentangling both when wet and dry.
The applicant discovered, surprisingly, that a process for treating keratin fibres, comprising a step of applying a composition comprising a particular derivative o f butenedioic acid and an amino silicone, fo llowed by a second step of heat treatment o f the keratin fibres, made it possible to achieve the aims set out above.
A subj ect of the present invention is especially a process for treating keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, preferably bleached, comprising the fo llowing steps :
l ) a first step o f applying, to said keratin fibres, a composition comprising :
- one or more compounds chosen from derivatives o f the butenedioic acid o f formula (I) below, and also the addition salts thereo f, optical isomers thereof, geometric isomers thereof, tautomers thereof, and mixtures thereof
in which formula (I) Ri and R2, which are identical or different, independently from one another represent a hydrogen atom, a linear or branched C i to C i o alkyl group, or a linear or branched
C2 to C i o alkenyl group, said alkyl or alkenyl groups being :
optionally interrupted by one or more heteroatoms such as O, S and N(R3), with R3 representing a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched C i to C6 alkyl group, and/or
- optionally substituted by one or more radicals chosen from hydroxyl, amino, C i to C6 mono- or dialkylamino , C i to C6 alkoxy, and carboxyl radicals; and
- one or more amino silicones;
fo llowed by
2) a second step o f heat treatment of said keratin fibres at a temperature greater than or equal to 100°C .
A step o f mechanical treatment for relaxing the keratin fibres, such as brushing, preferably accompanied by heating from a hairdryer, may be carried out between the first and second step of the process .
Another subj ect of the present invention relates to a composition as defined in the first step of the process, said composition being aqueous at acid pH.
Another subj ect of the invention is the use of a composition as defined above for straightening and/or relaxing keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair.
The process according to the invention makes it possible especially to obtain good curl relaxation and better control o f vo lume . Indeed, the process provides a significant reduction in the vo lume o f the keratin fibres, while respecting the integrity thereof.
The process according to the invention also makes it possible to confer a "serpentine" movement to the keratin fibres, which is characteristic of Brazilian hair straightening processes, without however requiring the use o f irritating and/or aggressive substances such as formaldehyde.
The straightening obtained by the process according to the present invention lasts over time and withstands several shampooing operations .
Finally, the process according to the invention makes it possible to preserve the co lour of the keratin fibres, especially if the latter are coloured. The keratin fibres treated by the process according to the invention have good cosmetic qualities such as sheen, a smooth and pleasant feel, and easy disentangling both when wet and dry. The keratin fibres are also more well-behaved and have a decreased risk o f breakage.
Other subj ects, characteristics, aspects and advantages o f the invention will emerge even more clearly on reading the description and the examples that follow.

The above additives may generally be present in an amount, for each o f them, o f between 0 and 20% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
The composition applied in the first step of the process according to the invention may be in the form o f a wax, a paste, a cream, a gel, a foam, a spray or a lotion.
B) Heat treatment
The process for treating keratin fibres according to the present invention also comprises a second step of heat treatment of the keratin fibres at a temperature greater than or equal to 100°C .
The second step fo llows the first step . In other words, the composition as defined above is applied before the heat treatment o f the keratin fibres.
This step o f heat treatment of the keratin fibres is preferably performed at a temperature ranging from 100°C to 250°C , and better still from 1 80°C to 230°C .
Preferably, the heat treatment step is performed for a duration ranging from 2 seconds to 1 hour, preferably ranging from 5 seconds to 1 minute, per lock of hair.
This step of heat treatment is generally carried out by means o f a heating tool which may in particular be chosen from irons and steam irons.
For the purposes o f the present invention, the term " iron" means a device for heating keratin fibres by placing said fibres in contact with the heating device. The end of the iron which comes into contact with the keratin fibres generally has two flat surfaces. These two surfaces may be made o f metal or o f ceramic. In particular, these two surfaces may be smooth or crimped or curved.
For the purposes o f the present invention, the term "steam irons" means irons which comprise a device which emits steam and
which applies this steam before, during or after the straightening/relaxing.
As examples o f irons that may be used in the straightening process according to the invention, mention may be made o f any type of flat iron with steam, and in particular, in a non-limiting manner, those described in patents US 5 957 140 and US 5 046 5 16.
The steam iron may be app lied by successive separate strokes lasting a few seconds or by gradual movement or sliding along the lo cks o f keratin fibres, especially of hair.
Preferably, the steam iron is applied in the process according to the invention by a continuous movement from the root to the end o f the hair, in one or more passes, in particular in two to twenty passes . The duration o f each pass o f the steam iron may range from 2 seconds to 1 minute.
Advantageously, steam is applied to the keratin fibres, especially the hair, at a flow rate of less than 5 g/min, in particular o f between 1 and 4 g/min.
Steam may be applied using any device known per se for generating the amount of steam o f use in the process o f the invention. According to a particular embodiment, this machine is portable, i. e . the tank for generating steam is in contact with the part o f the device comprising the steam-dispensing orifices .
The steam application step may be performed before, during or after the heating step , and preferably before .
Preferably, said second step of the process according to the invention is performed with a steampod steam straightening device.
Preferably, the second step o f heat treatment also comprises a mechanical treatment, performed for example by means o f a straightening iron.
Advantageously, the second step o f heat treatment o f the keratin fibres is carried out directly after application o f the composition, without an intermediate rinsing step .
Preferably, the second step o f heat treatment is carried out after a leave-on time of the composition applied in the first step which ranges from 5 minutes to 1 hour.
In a first embodiment of the process according to the invention, the composition is applied to a wet or dry head of hair, preferably dry, with or without a leave-on time.
According to this first embo diment, the bath ratio of the formulation applied may range from 0. 1 to 10, more particularly from 0.2 to 5. For the purposes o f the present invention, the term "bath ratio" means the ratio between the total weight of the applied composition and the total weight of keratin fibres to be treated.
The keratin fibres are then optionally rubbed dry, preferably rubbed dry. One or more heating means are applied once or in succession to the keratin fibres at a temperature advantageously greater than or equal to 100°C , preferably ranging from 100° C to 250°C, and more preferentially from 1 80° C to 230°C, for a time ranging from 5 seconds to one hour and preferably from 5 seconds to one minute, per lock of hair.
The hair then optionally undergoes one or more of the fo llowing operations : rinsing, shampooing and treatment with a rinse- out conditioner, drying, preferably using a hood or a hairdryer.
In general and preferably in the process according to the invention, the step o f application o f the composition to the keratin fibres is performed on dry keratin fibres .
In a second embodiment, the process according to the invention is performed one or more times, optionally spaced apart by one or more cosmetic treatments, preferably spaced apart by one or more shampooing operations, to treat hair that has regrown or that has undergone other treatments liable to cause changes in the curliness, or to obtain the desired shape or the desired shape intensity.
Preferably, the process according to the invention does not comprise the application of a reducing composition either before or during or after the application of the composition of use in the process according to the invention.
This is particularly advantageous in the context of the present invention since it makes it possible to perform a process that is sparingly aggressive to the hair.
Another subj ect of the present invention is a suitable composition for carrying out the process o f the invention, this
composition being as defined above; said composition being aqueous and having an acid pH.
The term "aqueous composition" means a composition comprising at least 5 % by weight of water, relative to the weight o f this composition.
Preferably, the aqueous composition according to the invention comprises more than 10% by weight of water and even more advantageously more than 20% by weight of water, relative to the total weight thereof.
The present invention also relates to the use o f a composition as defined above for straightening and/or relaxing keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair.
This composition may mo st particularly be used for straightening and/or relaxing hair which has undergone a bleaching treatment.
The examples that fo llow serve to illustrate the invention without, however, being limiting in nature.

In addition, the process according to the invention better respects the colour of the treated hair than the comparative process .
II .Example 2 : in vitro tests on locks of hair a) Preparation o f the compositions
The composition according to the invention (A l ) and the comparative composition (B2) were prepared from the ingredients, the amounts of which are indicated, as percentage by weight relative to the total weight of each of the compositions, in the table below.
( > Polydimethylsiloxane containing aminoethyliminopropyl groups in cationic emulsion at 60% by weight in water (Dow Corning 2-8299 Cationic Emulsion from Dow Corning)
b) Protocol
The compositions (Al ) and (B2) obtained in this way were applied to wet BRAZ (Brazilian) type IV locks (natural and/or bleached lo cks) according to a bath ratio of 2 g/ 1 g o f lo ck, in order for the locks to be thoroughly impregnated.
The locks were then subj ected to 5 successive blow drying passes, at position 2 (80° C) of the hairdryer, with a medium-diameter round brush. Each o f the locks was then separated in 2, and each part underwent 10 passes o f the straightening iron using a comb, at a temperature of 190° C for the bleached locks or of 210°C for the natural lo cks. The lo cks then underwent 3 passes using this same straightening iron.
The locks were then rinsed with water, then washed with a conventional commercially available shampoo (Ultra-Doux® type) .
Each lock was then pressed at various points so as not to interfere with the curl, then dried flat.
This straightening protocol was also carried out on control lo cks, to which neither o f the compositions (A l ) or (B2) had been applied.
The immediate straightening and also the properties o f touch and manageability o f the lo cks o f hair were then evaluated by an expert in sensorial terms (touch and visual) and a grade was assigned according to the fo llowing criteria : no effect (-), slight effect (+), pronounced effect (++), significant effect (+++) or very significant effect (++++) .
The durability (or persistence) o f these properties was then evaluated after a cycle o f 10 shampooing operations carried out for each o f the locks tested. An overall grade was assigned for durability, according to the same criteria as above. c) Results
The results obtained for the bleached and natural lo cks are given in the fo llowing tables 1 and 2 (mean value for 4 different lo cks) .
Table 1: bleached locks
Table 2: natural locks
The above results show that the process according to the invention using the composition (Al) provides better straightening of the hair than the comparative process using the composition (B2). The straightening with the process according to the invention is immediate and lasts longer than that obtained with the comparative process. The hair is also more well-behaved.
III. Example 3: evaluation of friction and suppleness of the locks a) Compositions
The compositions used are the compositions (Al), (Bl) and (B2) described in examples 1 and 2 above.
b) Protocol
The compositions (A l ), (B l ) and (B2) obtained in this way were applied to wet bleached Caucasian type II locks of hair according to a bath ratio of 2 g/ 1 g o f lock, in order for the locks to be thoroughly impregnated.
The locks were then subj ected to 5 successive blow drying passes, at position 2 (80° C) of the hairdryer, with a medium-diameter round brush. Each o f the locks was then separated in 2, and each part underwent 10 passes o f the straightening iron using a comb, at a temperature of 190°C for the bleached locks or of 210°C for the natural lo cks. The lo cks then underwent 3 passes using this same straightening iron.
The locks were then rinsed with water, then washed with a conventional commercially available shampoo (Ultra-Doux® type) .
Each lock was then pressed at various points so as not to interfere with the curl, then dried flat.
This straightening protocol was also carried out on control lo cks, to which none of the compositions (A l ), (B l ) and (B2) had been applied. c) Friction evaluation
The lo cks of hair obtained above were fixed to the samp le ho lder of a Zwickiline Z2.5 materials testing machine (ZWICK, Germany) . A normal force of 0.5 N was applied to each of the locks by grasping them in a clamp covered with strips o f disposable fo am. The foam was removed and replaced after each measurement. A constant displacement speed of 100 mm/min was set by the machine.
The force was recorded over time and represented in the form of a force-displacement curve reaching a plateau after a few seconds, then the mean friction force at the plateau was recorded.
The impact o f the application o f the compositions (A l ) and (B l ) to the friction o f the hair was obtained by comparing the mean friction force o f the untreated locks o f hair (control locks) with the friction force of the locks treated by said compositions .
For the wet measurements (wet friction force), the locks of hair were submerged beforehand in distilled water for one minute before carrying out the friction measurement as described above. The dry and wet friction values obtained for the process according to the invention using the composition (Al ) and the comparative process using the composition (B l ) are given in figure 1 .
These results show that the process according to the invention, i.e . using a composition comprising both maleic acid and amodimethicone, leads to a significant reduction in the friction o f the lo ck, both wet and dry, compared to the comparative process in which only maleic acid is used. d) Evaluation o f suppleness
The locks o f hair obtained above were subj ected to flexural stress at a constant rate. The force (in newtons) applied to each o f the lo cks as a function o f their disp lacement was then measured, thereby making it possible to determine the maximum flexural force for each of the locks .
The higher the value o f the force applied, the stiffer the lo cks; that is to say the less supple the locks . Conversely, the lower the value of the force applied, the more supple the locks.
The suppleness values obtained for the process according to the invention using the composition (A l ) and the comparative processes using the compositions (B l ) and (B2) are given in figure 2.
These results show that the process according to the invention, using the combination o f maleic acid and amodimethicone (Al ), provides significantly more suppleness to the hair (both wet and dry) than the comparative processes in which maleic acid (B l ) or amodimethicone (B2) are used alone . Indeed, the value o f the maximum flexural force obtained for the locks treated with the composition according to the invention (A l ) is lower than that obtained for the locks treated with the comparative compositions (B l ) and (B2).
e) Evaluation o f the hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance
The lo cks of hair obtained above were submerged in water. The energy o f penetration o f the locks in the water was then measured, thereby making it possible to determine the degree o f hydrophobicity of the locks .
Figure 3 presents the results obtained for the process according to the invention using the composition (A l ), and the comparative process using the composition (B l ), in terms o f energy o f penetration of the locks in the water. Figure 3 also presents the ranges within which the locks are considered to be hydrophilic or hydrophobic.
These results show that the combination o f maleic acid and amodimethicone makes it possible to restore a hydrophobic surface to the hair, and especially to bleached hair.
IV. Example 4 : in vitro evaluation on locks of hair a) Preparation o f the compositions
The composition according to the invention (A2) and the comparative composition (B3) were prepared from the ingredients, the amounts of which are indicated, as percentage by weight relative to the total weight of each of the compositions, in the table below.
( i > Polydimethylsiloxane containing aminoethyliminopropyl groups in cationic emulsion at 60% by weight in water (Dow Corning 2-8299 Cationic Emulsion from Dow Corning)
b) Protocol
The compositions A2 and B3 obtained in this way were applied to wet BRAZ type IV locks (natural locks) according to a bath ratio of 2 g/ 1 g of lock, in order for the locks to be thoroughly impregnated. The locks were then subj ected to 5 successive blow drying passes, at position 2 (80° C) of the hairdryer, with a medium-diameter round brush. Each of the locks was then separated in 2, and each part underwent 10 passes o f the straightening iron using a comb, at a temperature o f 210°C for the natural locks. The locks then underwent 3 passes using this same straightening iron.
The locks were then rinsed with water, then washed with a conventional commercially available shampoo (Ultra-Doux® type) .
Each lock was then pressed at various points so as not to interfere with the curl, then dried flat.
This straightening protocol was also carried out on control lo cks, to which neither of the compositions A2 or B3 had been applied.
The immediate straightening and also the properties o f touch and manageability o f the lo cks o f hair were then evaluated by an expert in sensorial terms (touch and visual) and a grade was assigned according to the fo llowing criteria : no effect (-), slight effect (+), pronounced effect (++), significant effect (+++) or very significant effect (++++) .
The durability (or persistence) of these properties was then evaluated after a cycle o f 10 shampooing operations carried out for each o f the locks tested. An overall grade was assigned for durability, according to the same criteria as above. c) Results
The results obtained for the natural lo cks are given in the fo llowing table (mean value for 4 different locks) .

The above results show that the process according to the invention using the composition (A2) provides better straightening o f the hair than the comparative process using the composition (B3) . The straightening with the process according to the invention is immediate and lasts longer than that obtained with the comparative process. The hair is also more well-behaved and has a better feel. V. Example 5 a) Preparation o f the compositions
The composition according to the invention (A3) and the comparative composition (B4) were prepared from the ingredients, the amounts o f which are indicated, as percentage by weight relative to the total weight of each of the compositions, in the table below.
( > Polydimethylsiloxane containing aminoethylaminopropyl groups containing methoxy and/or hydroxyl and α- ω silano l functions in cationic emulsion at 60% by weight in water
b) Protocol
2.7g BRAZ (Brazilian) type IV natural locks were placed flat on a sheet of aluminium foil on a plate at 37°C . 5.4g o f each compositions (A3) and (B4) obtained here above were app lied to the lo cks with a staining brush in order to have a homogeneous treatment.
After a leave-on time of 30 minutes, the locks were wrung with a paper and rinsed with water ( 10 passes between the fingers) .
The lo cks were then subj ected to 10 successive blow drying passes, at position 2 (80° C) of the hairdryer, with a medium-diameter round brush, and they underwent 10 passes of the straightening iron in 6 seconds, at a temperature of 230°C .
The locks were then washed with a shampoo .
For each lo ck, the length and the diameter at mid-length have been measured with a graduated ruler of 30cm. c) Results
The results thus obtained are given in the table below.
The above results show that the process according to the invention using the composition (A3), which comprises maleic acid, provides a better straightening o f the hair than the comparative process using the comparative composition (B4), which comprises lactic acid. The lock o f hair treated with the process of the present invention is indeed longer and thinner than the lock of hair treated with the comparative process .
