The present invention relates to bleaching composition for keratin fibres, especially human hair, comprising at least one compound with bleaching and/or highlighting effect wherein at least one cationic and/or cationizable compound is added.
Hair bleaching is a common practice for ages. It is based on oxidative decomposition of hair colour, which is usually done using peroxide or peroxide releasing compounds such as persulfates. Due to highly irritating potential of these bleaching ingredients and dustiness of powder compositions, it is preferred to provide granular composition where dust is reduced by agglomerating small particles into granulates using various binding agents. Most popular binding agent is mineral oil, which was the subject matter of EP 560 088 B1. Furthermore, EP 778 020 A1 suggests the use of oil and wax compounds or their mixtures for preparation of suspensions.
The bleaching of human hair customarily consists of a process with the following steps: Homogenous mixing of a water-free preparation, preferably a powder, comprising at least one compound with a bleaching and/or highlighting effect, in particular a solid peroxide salt, preferably ammonium, potassium and/or sodium persulfate or earth alkali peroxide, with an aqueous hydrogen peroxide composition, application of this composition onto the hair, and rinsing after bleaching is completed. It is known that bleaching components are chemically active on hair and damages hair which is afterwards difficult to repair. Damaged hair brings further difficulties especially in daily care as it does not behave any more as natural hair does and people having bleached hair are obliged to use special conditioning and/or daily care products in order to keep their hair looking attractive. This is certainly time consuming and especially expensive and, therefore, there is a great need of new bleaching compositions with reduced degree of hair damage. It should be noted that damaging effects of bleaching compositions are unavoidable and, therefore, the objective of present invention is reducing the damaging effect of commonly used bleaching agents.
The damage level of hair is often measured by its cysteic acid since cysteic acid is formed due to hair fibre degradation. The higher the hair damage, the higher cysteic acid level in hair.
It has been surprisingly found out by the inventors of the present invention that when a bleaching composition is added at least one cationic or and/or cationizable compound, damaging effect of bleaching composition on hair is noticeably reduced.
Accordingly, the first object of the present invention is aqueous composition for bleaching hair comprising three parts which are mixed prior to application onto hair and which are
a—a substantially anhydrous composition comprising at least one compound with bleaching effect,
b—an aqueous composition comprising at least one oxidizing agent, and
c—a composition comprising at least one cationic and/or cationizable compound of the following general structures
and/or
wherein R1 is a straight or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl with 8 to 24 C atoms, A is
R2 is straight or branched alkyl group with 1 to 4 C atoms which may be substituted with 1 or 2 hydroxyl groups, and B is
R3, R4 and R5 are same or different H or alkyl with 1 to 4 C atoms which may be substituted with 1 or 2 hydroxyl group, and R5 is in addition
-R2-A-R1
and, X is chloride, bromide, methosulfate or any other cosmetically acceptable anion, with the condition that R1 is not longer than 20 C atoms in case cationic compound is selected from compounds according to general structure
Further object of the present invention is a process for bleaching hair wherein an aqueous bleaching composition is prepared by mixing three compositions wherein
a—a substantially anhydrous composition comprising at least one compound with bleaching effect,
b—an aqueous composition comprising at least one oxidizing agent, and
c—a composition comprising at least one cationic and/or cationizable compound of the above given general structures is applied onto hair and after processing of 5 to 30 min at a temperature in the range of 20 to 45° C. is rinsed off from hair.

pH of the aqueous third composition of the present invention varies between 2 and 12, preferably 2.5-10, more preferably 3 to 8, most preferably 3 to 6 and in particular 3 to 5. pH is adjusted to the required pH by using citric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, maleicacid, phosphoric acid, glycolic acid, monoethanolamine, triethanolamine, ammonia or its salts with acids such as ammonium chloride, ammonium sulphate, ammonium carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium nitrate, or using alkaline solutions such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and their respective salts with the known acids.

The above mentioned ratios are general and in case somewhat different mixing ratio is needed simply because of reaching higher bleaching level than usual levels, such mixing ratio s should still be understood being within the scope of the present invention.

The invention is illustrated with the following examples, but not limited to.
The above composition is prepared by combining all powder components together and by mixing until homogeneity in a suitable mixer.
The above compositions were mixed in the following formula:
For comparative purposes another composition was prepared wherein the third composition was simply water (Comparative composition).
Two dark human hair tresses were bleached with the above given bleaching compositions for 40 min at 50° C. At the end of the processing time, tresses were rinsed off and shampooed once with a commercially available shampoo.
Following results were obtained:
From the above results it is clear that with the inventive composition hair tress was bleached more effectively (see ΔE and L values) and cysteic acid content of hair bleached with the inventive composition is clearly and significantly lower. This leads to the conclusion that damaging effect of inventive composition is lower compared to the comparative composition.
Similar results were observed with the following examples
Hydrolysed silk protein used was the same commercially available ingredient.
The compositions were mixed in the same way as in Example 1.
Dark human hair was bleached with the composition thus prepared and observed that bleached hair was easy to comb.
Substantially anhydrous bleaching composition and oxidizing composition of Example 2 were used. The compositions were mixed in the same way as in Example 1.
Dark human hair was bleached in parts (streak) with the bleaching and also colouring composition of this example. Bleaching was carried out for 30 min at 40° C., and streaks were rinsed off and hair was shampooed. Intensive highlighted red streaks were obtained.
Similar results were observed when other red cationic, anionic and/or nonionic nitro dyes mentioned in the description are used instead of the cationic dye in the example.
Hydrolysed silk protein used was the same commercially available ingredient.
Substantially anhydrous bleaching composition and oxidizing composition of Example 2 were used. The compositions were mixed at a weight ratio of 1:1.9:0.1 (water free composition: oxidizing lotion: the third composition). The resulting composition was tested against a bleaching composition which comprises the same amount of water instead of the third composition. It was observed that the half side bleached with a composition mixed with third composition was much more cared in terms of combability, shine and softness.
Hydrolysed silk protein used was the same commercially available ingredient.
The above composition was produced in the same way as in Example 4 and also used in the same way as described under Example 4. Intensive shiny red streaks were obtained. It was also found out that hair streaks felt less damaged upon touching which was supported by better combability, better shine and softer feel.
The same compositions used in another bleaching process wherein dyes in the third compositions were excluded. In a half side test the inventive composition was tested against comparative composition wherein only water was added instead of the third composition. It was found out that the side bleached with inventive composition was better lightened and the hair felt also softer upon touching, was easier to comb through and had better elasticity.
Following are examples of third composition which are used in combination with the substantially anhydrous bleaching composition and oxidizing composition mixed in the same way.
The above third composition examples 6 to 12 were used in combination with the oxidizing and bleaching compositions of Example 1 and observed that bleaching effects were excellent and were used and hair bleached with these compositions were easier to comb, felt soft and natural upon touching and had improved shine.
