Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for reducing hair damage upon exposure of the hair to heat.
- the present invention relates to a process for reducing hair damage upon exposure of the hair to heat, comprising: providing a cosmetically acceptable aqueous carrier; selecting a heat protectant, wherein the heat protectant is selected based on its ability to impart thermal protection to hair from exposure to heat, wherein the heat protectant is selected to be a modified carbohydrate polymer, comprising a cellulose ether base material functionalized with (i) trialkyl ammonium moieties of formula (I) wherein each R 1 is independently selected from the group consisting of a C1-7 alkyl group and wherein the modified carbohydrate polymer has a Kjeldahl nitrogen content, TKN, corrected for ash and volatiles, of 0.75 to 2.5 wt%; and (ii) hydrophobic substituents each having 16 carbon atoms; where
- Heat-assisted processes whereby heat is applied to hair fibers (e.g., during heat- assisted styling or drying using blow dryers, hair straighteners (such as flat irons), curling devices, heated comb, heated brush (with or without a rotating drum) are ubiquitous. Such heat-assisted processes; however, can dry out and damage hair. Moreover, improper technique may lead to damager; such as, for example, holding a blow dryer too close to the hair and overdrying the hair, or by engaging hair with a hot tool for too long at a particular spot of the hair.
- the heat assisted processes may cause moisture to evaporate or be driven from the hair causing the hair to become brittle and more susceptible to cracking.
- heat styling may cause physical damage to the hair.
- the hair may retain the styled, but the hair shaft will have been damaged (c)
- the keratin which is present in all hair as a natural alpha helix, melts, thereby permanently damaging the hair.
- styling of hair is typically done using tools that exhibit operating temperatures in excess of 150 °C to impart style to the hair above the glass transition.
- the temperature required to exceed the glass transition temperature is proportional to the hydration level of the hair. The higher the moisture content of the hair, the lower the temperature required to reach the glass transition point for the hair. Accordingly, to result in the lowest possible level of undesired damage to the hair, it would be advantageous to maximize the hydration of the hair during the heat assisted styling process.

- heat generating hair care appliances typically fall into one of two major categories, namely (1) heat generating hair care appliances that are used preferably on wet hair (e.g., hair dryer) and (2) heat generating hair care appliances used preferably on dry hair (e.g., flat ironing/curling; hat rollers).

In these hair dryers, the air is directed through appropriate orifices and accelerated by a fan. The air expelled by such hair dryers may be heated, but example, through use of a resistive heater.
- Hair dryers may incorporate a hood, wherein a major portion of the hair is covered by the hood. Hair dryers typically operate by delivering hot air temperatures of 50 to 100 °C.

- a hot air hair care appliance e.g., hair dryer,
- the process for reducing hair optionally further comprises rinsing the hair with water. More preferably, in the process for reducing hair (preferably, mammalian hair; more preferably, human hair) damage upon exposure of the hair to heat of the present invention, optionally further comprises rinsing the hair with water before applying the aqueous protectant formulation to the hair (preferably, wherein the hair is rinsed with water 30 seconds to 20 minutes (more preferably, 30 seconds to 5 minutes)).
- the process for reducing hair optionally further comprises at least one of combing and brushing the hair. More preferably, in the process for reducing hair (preferably, mammalian hair; more preferably, human hair) damage upon exposure of the hair to heat of the present invention, optionally further comprises at least one of combing and brushing the hair after application of the aqueous thermal protectant formulation (preferably, wherein the hair is combed and/or brushed before, during and/or after exposing the hair to heat from the heat generating hair care appliance).
- the aqueous thermal protectant formulation preferably, wherein the hair is combed and/or brushed before, during and/or after exposing the hair to heat from the heat generating hair care appliance.
- thermocouple was connected to a J-KEM controller and heating mantle.
- the flask While stirring the flask contents, the flask was slowly purged with nitrogen for one hour to remove any entrained oxygen. A nitrogen flow rate of about 1 bubble per second was used. After the nitrogen purge was completed, a 25% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (9.60 g) was added to the flask contents through the serum cap using a plastic syringe with continued stirring under nitrogen. The flask contents were then allowed to stir for 30 minutes under nitrogen.
- a 70% aqueous glycidyl trimethylammonium chloride (60.48 g, available from QUAB Chemicals under the trade name QUAB ® 151) was then added to the flask contents dropwise over a few minutes with stirring under nitrogen. When the addition was complete, the flask contents were stirred for 5 minutes, then heat was applied to the flask contents using the J-KEM controller. The temperature set point was 55 °C, and the flask contents were heated at 55 °C for 1.5 hours while stirring under nitrogen.
- the heat protectant was washed in the Buchner funnel once each with the following: a mixture of 2-propanol (656 g) and deionized water (144 g); a mixture of 2-propanol (720 g) and deionized water (80 g); and 2-propanol (800 g), 40 % glyoxal (1.76 g) and glacial acetic acid (0.60 g).
- the heat protectant was briefly air dried and dried overnight in vacuo at 50 °C.
- the heat protectant was manually ground using a mortar & pestle and screened through a #30 mesh US standard sieve to give 100.22 g of product.
- the heat protectant had a volatiles content of 4.41 %, an ash content of 2.70 % (as sodium acetate) and a Kjeldahl nitrogen content of 1.844%.
- Hair tresses (2 g, Slightly Bleached Caucasian available from International Hair Importers) were wetted for 30 seconds in 37 °C distilled water, then 1.5 g of a 9 wt% sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) solution was massaged into the hair before rinsing with water flowing at 0.4 L/min for 30 seconds; detangled with a brush; and then given a final rinse with water flowing at 0.4 L/min for 10 seconds.
- SLES sodium laureth sulfate
- the flat iron was preheated to 232 °C. Then the tresses were treated ten times for ten seconds each with the flat iron. After that, the tresses were washed with 9 wt% SLES solution, and this hair tress heat treatment and washing was repeated three times before performing the DSC studies below.
- Samples were prepared from the hair tresses treated according to each of Comparative Examples C1-C4 and Example 1 by isolating at least two different locks of hair from each tress and trimming them into small ( ⁇ 2 mm long) pieces using clippers. The entire length of the chosen hair locks was cut up and randomly distributed on weighing paper to average any difference in hair properties along the length of the tress. A 10 mg sample was then taken from each pile of small hair pieces using a tweezers. The samples were placed into separate 40 pL stainless steel pan (Perkin-Elmer part number 0319-0218) and distributed evenly on the bottom of the pan.
- each pan was added 30 pL of deionized water using a pipette, which plasticizes the cuticle and lowers the hair denaturation temperature below the decomposition temperature.
- the pans were then press-sealed with a Viton O-ring and a stainless steel lid and weight for total starting mass.
- the sealed pans were allowed to sit for 12 hours at 25 °C.
- the hair samples were then analyzed by a Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) paired with a Refrigerated Cooling System (RCS90) unit.
- DSC Differential Scanning Calorimeter
- RCS90 Refrigerated Cooling System
- the hair samples were analyzed by equilibrating at 40 °C then heating the samples to 200 °C at a 10 °C per minute temperature ramp rate. During the analysis, the cell flow rate was 25 mL per minute of nitrogen. Instrumental software (TRIOS) was used to determine both the denaturation temperature and the denaturation enthalpy. The denaturation temperature was determined as the peak temperature of the endothermic transition and the denaturation enthalpy was determined by integrating the endothermic transition. The peak temperature from the respect of DSC curves are reported in TABLE 2. The denaturation enthalpy for the hair samples are also reported in TABLE 2.
