Abstract
The present invention relates to a hair composition comprising: (i) one or more polymers containing a silicone unit bearing alkoxy-(aminomethyl)-silyl functional groups; (ii) one or more nonionic fixing polymers and/or one or more anionic fixing polymers.
Description

The present invention relates to a hair composition comprising one or more particular silicones and one or more nonionic and/or anionic fixing polymers. The present invention also relates to a process for shaping and/or holding the hairstyle using said composition.


In the field of hairstyling, in particular among products intended for shaping and/or holding the hairstyle, the hair compositions that are the most widespread on the cosmetics market are compositions consistuted essentially of a solution, which is usually alcoholic or aqueous-alcoholic, and of one or more polymers, known as fixing polymers, which are generally film-forming polymers. These polymers thus have the function of making welds between the hairs so as to be able to structure the hairstyle and give it long-lasting hold.


However, certain fixing polymers result in hardening of the head of hair. This drawback leads to a set hairstyle and to disentangling that is often difficult at the end of the day, the hair having a dry feel.


To improve the cosmetic feel of the hair, it is known practice to add silicone or oxyethylene compounds. However, this type of combination has a tendency to reduce the level of fixing of the compositions and to reduce the hairstyle hold.


However, these products are not entirely satisfactory, especially in terms of the balance between the fixing power and the cosmetic qualities of the head of hair, and especially the feel of the hair during drying, immediately after application and after removal by brushing. Either a very high level of fixing is obtained with a product which appears as tacky during drying, and then rigid, dry, or even coarse. Or a feel is obtained that remains relatively natural, but with a low level of fixing.


There is thus a real need to find compositions, especially for hairstyling, which allow a good level of fixing and long-lasting hairstyle hold while at the same time giving the hair a cosmetic feel.


The Applicant has found, surprisingly and unexpectedly, that the combination of one or more polymers containing a silicone unit bearing alkoxy-(aminomethyl)-silyl functional groups and one or more nonionic and/or anionic fixing polymers makes it possible to obtain a head of hair that does not have the above drawbacks.


Specifically, this combination makes it possible to obtain strong fixing of the head of hair, which lasts throughout the day, while at the same time giving the hair a cosmetic feel. The hair is held in the desired shape without being set or hardened by the composition, the hair being soft, supple and smooth.


The subject of the invention is thus a hair composition comprising:

    • (i) one or more polymers containing a silicone unit bearing alkoxy-(aminomethyl)-silyl functional groups;
    • (ii) one or more nonionic fixing polymers and/or one or more anionic fixing polymers.


Another subject of the present invention consists of an aerosol device which comprises a container containing a hair composition comprising (i) one or more polymers containing a silicone unit bearing alkoxy-(aminomethyl)-silyl functional groups; (ii) one or more nonionic fixing polymers and/or one or more anionic fixing polymers, and a propellant gas.


Another subject of the present invention consists of a process for shaping and/or holding the hairstyle in which is applied a hair composition, comprising:

    • (i) one or more polymers containing a silicone unit bearing alkoxy-(aminomethyl)-silyl functional groups;
    • (ii) one or more nonionic fixing polymers and/or one or more anionic fixing polymers.


Other subjects, characteristics, aspects and advantages of the invention will emerge even more clearly on reading the description and the example that follows.


The composition of the invention comprises one or more polymers containing a silicone unit bearing alkoxy-(aminomethyl)-silyl functional groups.

The various ingredients of the composition are introduced into the inner bag and a propellant is introduced between the bag and the can at a sufficient pressure to make the product come out in the form of a spray.


The container is equipped at its top end with a valve that seals the system.

For each composition 1 to 14, a comparative composition not comprising any polymer was also prepared.


The aerosol compositions 3, 4 and 10 to 14 prepared above and also their respective comparative compositions were introduced into an aerosol dispensing device which has the following characteristics:


a valve equipped with a nozzle with an orifice 0.41 mm in size and an internal orifice 2.03 mm in size,


a diffuser equipped with a turbulent-channel nozzle whose orifice is 0.38 mm in diameter.


1.5 g of these aerosol compositions were sprayed onto 5.4 g locks of dry hair laid out in a fan shape (spraying on both sides).


A level of fixing with the compositions according to the invention greater than or equal to that obtained with the comparative compositions is obtained. The fixing is also longer-lasting, or equivalent, with the compositions according to the invention than with the comparative compositions. The fixing persistence in wet medium is also improved with the compositions according to the invention relative to the comparative compositions.


Moreover, a much smoother feel of the hair is obtained from the start of drying of the compositions according to the invention, and even more so after drying.
