Abstract

The invention concerns a method for straightening keratinous fibers including: (i) a step of applying on the keratinous fibers a hair straightening composition containing at least one polyhydroxylated aromatic compound, (ii) a step of increasing the temperature of the keratinous fibers, using heating means, to a temperature ranging between 110 and 250° C.

Description

  • The invention relates to a process for relaxing keratin fibres with a heating means and at least one polyhydroxylated aromatic compound.
  • The relaxing process according to the invention is performed without using any reducing agent or lanthionizing agent. It does not include any reducing or lanthionization step.
  • According to the invention, the term “keratin fibres” means fibres of human or animal origin such as head hair, bodily hair, the eyelashes, wool, angora, cashmere or fur. Although the invention is not limited to particular keratin fibres, reference will nevertheless be made more particularly to head hair.
  • According to the invention, the term “relaxing” covers the relaxing, straightening or uncurling of Caucasian or African hair.
  • The term “heating means” means any means for heating keratin fibres to a temperature of at least 110° C., such as heating irons, for example flat or round irons, microwave generators or sources of infrared radiation.
  • Two techniques are used for permanently reshaping the hair. They are based on cleavage of the disulfide covalent bonds present in keratin (cystine):
      • the first consists, in a first stage, in performing this opening of the disulfide bonds using a composition containing a reducing agent, and then, after having preferably rinsed the hair, in reconstituting the said disulfide bonds in a second stage, by applying to the hair, which has been placed under tension beforehand with rollers or the like or shaped or straightened out by other means, an oxidizing composition also known as a fixer, so as to give the head of hair the desired shape. This technique makes it possible either to make the hair wavy or to relax it, uncurl it or straighten it out;
      • the second consists in performing a “lanthionization” operation using a composition containing a base belonging to the hydroxide family. This leads to replacement of the disulfide bonds (—CH2-S—S—CH2-) with lanthionine bonds (—CH2-S—CH2-).
  • This lanthionization operation involves two consecutive chemical reactions:
      • the first reaction consists of a beta-elimination on cystine brought about by a hydroxide ion, leading to the cleavage of this bond and to the formation of dehydroalanine:
  • Figure US20100300472A1-20101202-C00001
      • the second reaction is a reaction of dehydroalanine with a thiol group. Specifically, the double bond of the dehydroalanine formed is a reactive double bond. It can react with the thiol group of the cysteine residue that has been released to form a new bond referred as a lanthionine bridge or bond or residue.
  • Figure US20100300472A1-20101202-C00002
  • Relative to the first technique using a reducing agent, this lanthionization technique does not require a fixing step, since the formation of the lanthionine bridges is irreversible. It is thus performed in a single step and makes it possible either to make the hair wavy, or to relax it, uncurl or straighten it out. However, it is mainly used for relaxing naturally curly hair.
  • For the first technique, the reducing compositions generally used for the first step of a permanent-waving or hair-relaxing operation contain thiols, sulfites or bisulfites as reducing agent. These agents are generally used in essentially aqueous medium at concentrations of between 0.5 and 1 M to obtain good opening of the disulfide bonds. Among the thiols, those commonly used are thioglycolic acid, cysteamine, glyceryl monothioglycolate, thiolactic acid and cysteine. Thioglycolic acid is particularly efficient at reducing the disulfide bonds of keratin at alkaline pH, especially in the form of ammonium thioglycolate, and constitutes the product most frequently used in permanent waving (“hair waving”). It has been found, however, that thioglycolic acid must be used in sufficiently basic medium (in practice at a pH of between 8.5 and 9.5) if curling of satisfactory intensity is to be obtained. Besides the drawback of releasing an unpleasant odour requiring the use of more or less efficient fragrances to mask the odours, the use of a thiol at alkaline pH also results in degradation of the fibre and most particularly in impairment of artificial colorations.
  • Sulfites or bisulfites are mainly used for relaxing the hair. They have drawbacks similar to those of thiols, with lower efficacy.
  • Thiols and sulfites (or bisulfites) also have the drawback of having poor stability in aqueous solution.
  • In general, the durability of the reshaping effects obtained with thiols and sulfites by reduction of disulfides following by fixing is judged to be very much lower than that which may be obtained via the lanthionization technique.
  • For the second technique, the compositions generally used to perform lanthionization contain as base a hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide, guanidinium hydroxide or lithium hydroxide. These lanthionization active agents, which allow opening of the disulfide bonds via a beta-elimination mechanism, are generally used as a water-oil emulsion at concentrations of between 0.4 and 0.6 M, by leaving them to act generally for 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature. Sodium hydroxide remains the agent most frequently used. Guanidinium hydroxide is now the preferred compound for many compositions. These two hydroxides, sodium hydroxide and guanidinium hydroxide, are the two main agents used for the relaxing or uncurling of naturally curly hair. They have several advantages over ammonium thioglycolate and sulfites, in particular the absence of unpleasant odour, the fact that only one operating step is required (shorter treatment time) and much greater durability and efficacy of reshaping of the hair.
  • However, these hydroxides have the major drawback of being caustic. This causticity affects the scalp by causing irritation, which is occasionally severe. This may be partially remedied by applying beforehand to the scalp fatty protective cream often referred to as a “base” or “base cream”, the word “base” in this case not having the meaning of a basic agent in the chemical sense. When the protective cream is combined with the hydroxide in a single composition, it is generally referred to as “no-base”, as opposed to the above name. This “no-base” technique is preferred.
  • The causticity of hydroxides also affects the state of the hair by firstly giving it a coarse feel and secondly making it much more brittle, this brittleness possibly going as far as crumbling or breaking or even dissolution of the hair if the treatment is prolonged. In certain cases, hydroxides also cause decoloration of the natural colour of the hair.
  • Formulations containing sodium hydroxide are generally referred to as “lye relaxers” and those not containing it are referred as “no-lye relaxers”.
  • The main relaxing formulations known as “no-lye” relaxers use guanidinium hydroxide. Since guanidinium hydroxide is unstable, it is generated at the time of use by mixing guanidinium carbonate and a source of sparingly soluble hydroxide such as calcium hydroxide. The reaction between these two compounds leads to the formation of guanidinium hydroxide and calcium carbonate, which precipitates in the composition. The presence of this precipitate makes the final rinsing of the hair much more difficult and leaves mineral particles on the hair and the scalp, which give it a coarse feel and an unaesthetic appearance resembling dandruff. The recent success of guanidinium hydroxide (“no-lye”) over sodium hydroxide (“lye”) appears to arise from better relaxing efficacy and better skin tolerance. However, these techniques using bases of the hydroxide family remain very aggressive to the hair and the scalp and require very strict control of the duration of application to avoid excessive irritation and impairment of the hair that may go as far as breakage. This aggressiveness arising from the causticity of hydroxides is justification for not using these hair lanthionization compositions for permanent waving (hair waving), but solely for hair straightening or hair relaxing.
  • Furthermore, hydroxides are known to be good agents for hydrolysing amide functions (cf. for example March's Advanced Organic Chemistry, 5th edition, Wiley Interscience, New York, “Hydrolysis of Amides” page 474 et seq.), which thus lead to cleavage of peptide bonds by direct nucleophilic attack. It is thus probable that the observed impairments of the hair and of keratin materials in the broad sense are largely due to partial hydrolysis of the amide bonds of keratin.
  • There is thus a real need for relaxing compositions that are markedly less aggressive to the hair.
  • Various studies have been conducted in order to overcome both the drawbacks of reducing agents (first technique) and/or those of hydroxides (second technique).
  • Thus, many reducing agents have been proposed to replace thioglycolic acid, but thioglycolic acid in the form of ammonium thioglycolate remains both the reference compound and the compound most widely used in cosmetic formulations, not only for shaping but also for straightening the hair.
  • It has also been proposed in numerous patents to combine common reducing agents (thiols, sulfites or bisulfites) with urea or alkyl ureas to reduce the irritation and damage caused to the hair, not only for shaping but also for relaxing. Mention will be made, for example, of:
      • patent application CA 1315204, which describes a composition containing ammonium thioglycolate (5.5-11.5%) and urea or a monoalkyl urea (1-3%) for shaping the hair,
      • patent application U.S. Pat. No. 3,847,165, which describes a composition containing ammonium thioglycolate (1.2-1.4 M) and urea (2.0-2.7 M) for shaping the hair at an acidic pH,
      • patent application NL 6410355, which describes a composition containing a sulfite (0.8-1.5 M) and urea (0.6-3.0 M) for shaping and relaxing the hair,
      • patent application JP 2000/229 819, which describes a composition containing a sulfite or bisulfite (0.5-15%), urea (0.5-15%) and an alcohol (ethanol and/or isopropanol, 1-30%) for shaping and relaxing the hair.
  • It has also been proposed in numerous patents to combine hydroxides, serving as lanthionization active agent, with certain additives generally serving to protect the hair. Mention will be made, for example, of:
      • patent application WO 2002/003 937, which describes a composition containing C3-C5 monosaccharides,
      • patent application WO 2001/064 171, which describes a composition containing complexing agents,
      • patent U.S. Pat. No. 5,641,477, which describes a composition containing a hydrogenated starch hydrolysate,
      • patent application WO 02/085 317, which describes a composition containing organic nucleophiles that react during the second step with the dehydroalanine formed with hydroxides, to give new bridges.
  • Although all these proposals lead to more or less pronounced improvements, they are not able to sufficiently reduce the damage associated with the very causticity of hydroxides.
  • As indicated previously, the use of reducing agents leads to poor durability of the relaxing or straightening of the hair and the use of hydroxides, on account of their causticity, limits their use in the field of hair relaxing.
  • The use of resorcinol at a concentration of 40% and at a pH of 7 for relaxing the hair has been reported by M. Wong et al.: M. Wong, G. Vis-surel, and J. Epps J. Soc. Cosmet. Chem. (1994), 45, 347-352. However, the tests that we have performed under these conditions on naturally curly African hair do not relax it, but lead, at the very best, to slight uncurling.
  • After considerable studies, it has now been discovered, entirely surprisingly and unexpectedly, that hair can be durably relaxed by combining the action of a polyhydroxylated aromatic compound and of a means of heating to a temperature above 110° C. Excellent results in terms of relaxing, cosmetic properties of the hair and fibre integrity are thus obtained.
  • Without being bound by theory, the Applicant considers that there is a combined action, on the keratin fibres, of a polyhydroxylated aromatic compound and of a heating means, which allows the fibres to be efficiently and durably relaxed.
  • The Applicant has found that it is possible to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art and to satisfy the abovementioned objectives by performing a process for relaxing keratin fibres, comprising:
