The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for styling hair, particularly, to compositions and methods for temporarily straightening curly or wavy hair without requiring the use of heat.
Consumers with curly or wavy hair often desire to temporarily straighten their hair for a change in appearance, and then switch back to their curly style without damage. In addition, reducing the curls of very curly hair may increase the manageability and ease of styling of such hair.
Currently, temporary straightening curly/wavy hair or frizzy hair typically involves the use of hot tools such as blow dryers and/or flat irons. The high temperature of the blow dryers and/or irons leads to a breakage of hydrogen bonds in the keratin of the hair, achieving a temporary straightening. The hydrogen bonds are formed again by the action of moisture, so that the hair reverts back to its original shape over the time because of air humidity or after washing or damping the hair.
Longer-term and/or permanent straightening is usually achieved by using chemical straightening treatments, such as relaxers, with high pH. The shape of the hair is largely determined by the disulfide bonds linking two cysteine moieties of the hair keratin. To achieve a longer-term and/or permanent shaping or styling effect, it usually involves cleavage of the disulfide bonds by the action of a sulfide- or thiol-group containing reducing agent or relaxing agent. After the hair has been brought into the desired shape, new disulfide bonds are formed by applying an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide, thus fixing the shape of the hair. The use of such agents, however, may cause damage to the hair and weaken the hair, resulting in subsequent breakage. Conventional products that provide hold, such as styling gels, although may also provide straightening effects to the hair, usually flake on the hair and result in very stiff and unnatural look hair. In addition, conventional hair straightening routines are usually time-consuming.
As such, there is a need for new and improved compositions that can be simply applied to hair and provide straightening effects to curly or wavy hair that would not damage the hair, while at the same time imparting various additional sensorial properties to the hair such as frizz control, softness, smoothness, and/or shine. The present disclosure addresses these needs and concerns and relates to new compositions and methods that can provide styling effect, particularly, a temporary straightening effect on curly/waving hair without the requirement of using heat.
It has now surprisingly been found that a combination of components described herein allows for a balance between straightening performance and consumer desired look and feel, even under high humidity condition, and is useful for providing desired temporarily straightening effect to curly or wavy hair through a simple application routine without the use of hot tools or harsh chemicals such as reducing agents or relaxers, while at the same time delivering additional advantageous sensorial benefits such as frizz control, natural look and feel, to the hair. The temporary straightening effect and other benefits such as frizz control imparted to the hair are lasting, such as may last under high humidity conditions and until the next hair wash, without any damage to the natural curls.
The present disclosure relates to compositions that provide temporary straightening effect to curly or wavy hair, while at the same time in some embodiments providing one or more additional benefits such as frizz control, softness, smoothness, and/or shine to the hair. The disclosure also relates to methods of using the compositions for styling hair, in particular, temporarily straightening curly/wavy hair, while at the same time in at least some embodiments providing additional sensorial benefits described above to the hair.

The accompanying figures, which are incorporated herein and constitute part of this specification, illustrate exemplary embodiments of the disclosure, and, together with the general description given above and the description provided herein, serve to demonstrate features of the disclosure.
It is to be understood that the foregoing and following descriptions are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to be restrictive of any subject matter claimed.
The disclosure relates to compositions for styling hair, for example compositions for temporarily straightening wavy or curly hair, while imparting frizz control and other sensorial benefits to the hair. The disclosure also relates to methods of using the compositions for styling hair.
In various embodiments, compositions according to the disclosure comprise (a) at least one latex type film former chosen from acrylate-based polymers, polyurethane-based polymers, derivatives thereof, or combinations thereof; (b) at least one polysaccharide gum; (c) potato starch or a derivative thereof; and (d) water. Optionally, the compositions may comprise a silicone acrylate, at least one polyol, at least one silicone oil, and/or at least one non-ionic guar. The compositions may, for example, be formulated in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion, and may have a pH of less than 7. A polyphenol and a chemical relaxing agent or reducing agent are not required; as such, the compositions may be free or essentially free of polyphenols, chemical relaxing agents, and/or reducing agents. The compositions can, for example, be used as leave-in compositions for styling hair, particularly, for temporarily straightening curly or wavy hair, without the use of heat.
It has been surprisingly found that the compositions may provide beneficial effects to hair, such as temporarily straightening the hair, without the need for heat or chemical relaxers, and at the same time in at least some embodiments providing one or more of softness, smoothness, shine, volume control, and/or frizz control to the hair. It is believed, without being limited, that the benefits result from a synergistic combination of the ingredients disclosed herein. For example, without being limited by theory, it is believed that the acrylates copolymers form a flexible film providing styleability and the polysaccharide(s) form a strong fixative film that provides hold with improved humidity resistance properties; it is also believed that starches such as potato starch help deliver the film formers onto the hair with glide for even distribution and provides desired fiber alignment. The optional ingredients are believed, without being limited by theory, to improve the sensoriality by increasing the suppleness of the treated hair (lower rigidity) and to provide easy application and better detangling. As a result, the combination of ingredients disclosed herein allows for a balance between straightening performance and cosmeticity even under high humidity conditions.

For example, one or more acids may be included to decrease the pH of the cosmetic composition. Examples of suitable acids for decreasing the pH of the compositions may include one or more acids. The cosmetic composition may include one or more bases, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and the like, to increase the pH of the cosmetic composition. Additional or alternative acids and bases that are suitable for adjusting the pH of the compositions are readily known to one of ordinary skill in the art. For instance, In some embodiments, the pH adjuster is sodium hydroxide solution such as 0.1 M NaOH.
The amount of the pH adjuster in the compositions may be based on the desired pH of the final composition and/or product for improving curl definition, curl regularity, and/or curl elongation. For example, the total amount of the pH adjuster may range from about 0.0001% to about 10% by weight, including ranges and sub-ranges therebetween, based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition.
One or more preservatives may be included in the compositions described herein for treating hair. Suitable preservatives include, but are not limited to, glycerin containing compounds (e.g., glycerin or ethylhexylglycerin or phenoxyethanol), benzyl alcohol, parabens (methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, isobutylparaben, etc.), sodium benzoate, benzoic acid, chlorhexidine digluconate, ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid (EDTA), potassium sorbate, and/or grapefruit seed extract, or a mixture thereof.

In various embodiments, the compositions are acidic and may have a pH of less than 7. For example, the pH of the composition may range from about 3.5 to about 6.8, from about 3.5 to about 6.5, from about 4 to about 6, including all ranges and subranges therebetween.
In some embodiments, the hair styling compositions according to the present disclosure may be free or essentially free of polyphenols including tannic acid. In further embodiments, the compositions do not include a chemical relaxing agent. In some embodiments, the hair styling compositions according to the present disclosure do not include a chemical relaxing agent. Additionally, the compositions disclosed herein may not include a cationic polymer. The compositions disclosed here may also be free or essentially free of dyes, pigments, and/or colorants.
The hair styling composition of claim 1, wherein the composition is in a gel-cream form that exhibits a texture like a gel with an opaque creamy appearance.
Compositions according to the disclosure may be in the form of a cream or lotion of water-in-oil emulsion, but are not so limited. In some embodiments, the compositions are formulated into gel-cream, which has a texture like a gel with an opaque creamy appearance. In some embodiments, the compositions are a non-aerosol type product, which may be dispensed from a bottle, tube, or spray-bottle. The compositions may be used as leave-in compositions for styling hair, particularly, straightening curly or wavy hair, without the use of heat.
The compositions disclosed herein can be used for styling hair, in particular, for temporarily straightening curly or wavy hair. In addition, the compositions disclosed herein are surprisingly capable of providing a variety of additional desirable sensory properties, for example, anti-frizz, moisture, smoothness, softness, and/or shine to the hair. As such, the present disclosure also relates to methods for styling hair, particularly, temporarily straightening curly or wavy hair, while at the same time, caring for and conditioning hair, and/or imparting one or more above-described sensory benefits to the hair. Heat is not required to obtain the benefits described to the hair. As such, the methods typically do not require the use of heat.
Methods according to the disclosure typically include applying an effective amount of a composition disclosed herein to hair having waves or curls. As used herein, the term “effective amount” refers to an amount sufficient to provide a desired straightening effect to the hair, taking into account the degree of curliness, the length, the volume, and the texture of the hair, and/or an amount sufficient to provide a desired sensory benefit to the hair. In general, from about 0.5 grams to about 50 grams of product is applied to the hair, depending on the specific product formulation, hair length, hair volume, and hair style type. The composition applied to the hair may, for example, be distributed evenly by combing through with fingers or a means such as a comb or the like. After the composition is evenly distributed on the hair, the hair is allowed to air dry under an ambient condition for a period of time as needed, such as, for example, at least 15 minutes, at least 30 minutes, at least 1 hours, or up to 6 hours, until the hair is dried. In certain circumstance, instead of allowing the hair to air dry under an ambient condition, the hair may be dried with a rollerball dryer or a blow dryer on a cool setting, for example, at a temperature lower than 50° C., such as 40-45° C. After the hair is dried, the hair is combed with fingers (i.e., running fingers through the hair) or by using a comb or the like, to break the film or coating formed by the compositions on the hair for straightening the hair, and/or for a less stiff and more natural movement. Typically, no heat or chemical relaxers are applied to the hair before, during, or after the styling composition is applied to the hair.
The composition may be allowed to remain on the hair as a leave-in product for any period of time as needed, for example, a few hours or a few days, or until the next washing or rinsing of the hair. In some embodiments, the composition is allowed to remain on the hair for overnight.
In some embodiments, before applying the composition to the hair, the hair may be first cleansed with a commercially available shampoo, and/or rinsed with water. The composition may then be applied to the washed and/or rinsed hair, preferably when the hair is wet, damp, or moist. In some other embodiments, before applying the composition to the hair, if the hair is dry, the hair may optionally be moistened, damped, or wetted by water spray or using a wet towel.
Methods according to the disclosure generally do not require the use of a reducing agent, including a base, in particular a strong base (as in lye-based and no lye relaxers that employ a metal hydroxide), or heating the hair in order to achieve a temporary straightening effect. As such, in some embodiments, the method does not include using a chemical relaxing agent, a reducing agent or a base, and/or does not including heating the hair.
In various embodiments, the methods of treating hair with the compositions according to the disclosure impart the benefits described above to the hair, without a greasy feel or flaking, relative to hair not having been treated with a composition according to the disclosure. The benefits imparted to the hair may remain a desired length of time, such as a few hours, a few days, or until the hair is rinsed or washed.
The compositions described herein are not mascara compositions, i.e. are not intended to be applied to eyelashes and/or eyebrows. The compositions are likewise not makeup compositions, i.e. are not intended to be applied to skin, in particular, to skin on the face, body, or lips. Thus, treatment of, or application to, the hair is intended to be limited to hair on the head, i.e. the scalp of the head, and not eyelashes, eyebrows, body or facial hair, or the like. In such embodiments, a skilled person understands that “hair on the head” means hair that grows from the scalp of the head, and excludes eyebrows, eyelashes, facial hair, etc.
Having described the many embodiments of the present invention in detail, it will be apparent that modifications and variations are possible without departing from the scope of the disclosure defined in the appended claims. Furthermore, it should be appreciated that all examples in the present disclosure, while illustrating many embodiments of the disclosure, are provided as non-limiting examples and are, therefore, not to be taken as limiting the various aspects so illustrated. It is to be understood that all definitions herein are provided for the present disclosure only.
As used herein, the terms “comprising,” “having,” and “including” (or “comprise,” “have,” and “include”) are used in their open, non-limiting sense. The phrase “consisting essentially of” limits the scope of a claim to the specified materials or steps and those that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristics of the compositions.
In this application, the use of the singular includes the plural unless specifically stated otherwise. The singular forms “a,” “an,” “the,” and “at least one” are understood to encompass the plural as well as the singular unless the context clearly dictates otherwise, and these expressions, as well as the expression “one or more” which means “at least one,” are expressly intended to include the individual components as well as mixtures/combinations thereof. Likewise, the term “a salt thereof” also relates to “salts thereof.” Thus, where the disclosure refers to “an element selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, a salt thereof, or mixtures thereof,” it indicates that that one or more of A, B, C, D, or F may be included, one or more of a salt of A, a salt of B, a salt of C, a salt of D, a salt of E, or a salt of F may be included, or a mixture of any two of A, B, C, D, E, F, a salt of A, a salt of B, a salt of C, a salt of D, a salt of E, and a salt of F may be included. However, it is to be understood that such language also includes embodiments where G, H, I, etc., are present, as long as at least one of A, B, C, D, E, F, or a salt thereof, is also present.
The term “and/or” should be understood to include both the conjunctive and the disjunctive. For example, “A and/or B” means “A and B” as well as “A or B,” and expressly covers instances of either without reference to the other. For example, a composition that comprises “an emulsifier chosen from fatty alcohols and/or esters” means that the disclosure includes compositions comprising one or more fatty alcohols or one or more esters, as well as compositions comprising one or more fatty alcohols and one or more esters. As a further example, disclosure of “methods of styling the hair, straightening the hair, and/or reducing frizz of the hair” includes methods of styling the hair or methods of straightening the hair or methods of reducing frizz of the hair, as well as methods of styling the hair and straightening the hair, methods of styling the hair and reducing frizz of the hair, methods of styling the hair and straightening the hair and reducing frizz of the hair, etc.
As used herein, the phrases “and mixtures thereof,” “and a mixture thereof,” “and combinations thereof,” “and a combination thereof,” “or mixtures thereof,” “or a mixture thereof,” “or combinations thereof,” “or a combination thereof,” and variations thereof are used interchangeably to denote that the listing of components immediately preceding the phrase, such as “A, B, C, D, or mixtures thereof” signify that the component(s) may be chosen from A, from B, from C, from D, from A+B, from A+B+C, from A+D, from A+C+D, etc., without limitation on the variations thereof. Thus, the components may be used individually or in any combination thereof.
For purposes of the present disclosure, it should be noted that to provide a more concise description, some of the quantitative expressions given herein are not qualified with the term “about.” It is understood that whether the term “about” is used explicitly or not, every quantity given herein is meant to refer to the actual given value, and it is also meant to refer to the approximation to such given value that would reasonably be inferred based on the ordinary skill in the art, including approximations due to the experimental and/or measurement conditions for such given value. All ranges and amounts given herein are intended to include sub-ranges and amounts using any disclosed point as an end point. Thus, a range of “1% to 10%, such as 2% to 8%, such as 3% to 5%,” is intended to encompass ranges of “1% to 8%,” “1% to 5%,” “2% to 10%,” and so on. All numbers, amounts, ranges, etc., are intended to be modified by the term “about,” whether or not so expressly stated. Similarly, a range given of “about 1% to 10%” is intended to have the term “about” modifying both the 1% and the 10% endpoints. The term “about” is used herein to indicate a difference of up to +/−10% from the stated number, such as +/−9%, +/−8%, +/−7%, +/−6%, +/−5%, +/−4%, +/−3%, +/−2%, or +/−1%. Likewise, all endpoints of ranges are understood to be individually disclosed, such that, for example, a range of 1:2 to 2:1 is understood to disclose a ratio of both 1:2 and 2:1.
Further, unless expressly stated otherwise or when the context of the disclosure clearly dictates otherwise, the language “the at least one X may be present in an amount ranging from Y % to Z %” is to be understood to mean that the total amount of X's present in the composition ranges from Y % to Z %, inclusive of the endpoints. For example, “the at least one polysaccharide gum may be present in an amount ranging from about 0.01% to about 10%” means that the total amount of polysaccharide gums present ranges from about 0.01% to about 10%, inclusive of both 0.01% and 10%.
“Active material” as used herein with respect to the percent amount of an ingredient or raw material, refers to 100% activity of the ingredient or raw material.
All amounts given herein are relative to the amount of active material, unless otherwise indicated.
Unless otherwise indicated, all percentages herein are by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.
All percentages, parts and ratios herein are based upon the total weight of the compositions of the present disclosure, unless otherwise indicated.
As used herein, the term “treat” (and its grammatical variations, such as “treating”) refers to the application of the compositions of the present disclosure onto the surface of the hair on the head.
As used herein, the phrase “applying a composition onto hair,” and variations thereof is intended to mean contacting the hair, with at least one of the compositions of the disclosure, in any manner. It may also mean contacting the hair in an effective amount.
As used herein, the term “styling” is intended to include “shaping” and “straightening.”
As used herein, the term “curly hair” refers to any hair including a curl, and “wavy hair” refers to any hair including a wave. The curl and/or wave may be natural or unnatural, i.e., formed by chemical treatment or physical treatment of the hair. The degree of curliness and/or waviness of the hair may vary and is not limited.
A “leave-in” composition or product refers to a hair-treatment composition that is not rinsed and/or washed away with water or acceptable solvent after the application of the composition onto the hair; instead, the composition is allowed to remain on the hair for a period of time as desired, such from 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, up to 8 hours, overnight, or as long as needed, until next time of washing or rinsing the hair.
As used herein, the term “polyol” refers to an organic molecule comprising at least two free hydroxyl groups.
The terms “substantially without” or “essentially without” as used herein means the specific material may be used in a manufacturing process in small amounts that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristics of the compositions according to the disclosure. The terms may also mean that the specific material is not used in a manufacturing process but may still be present in a raw material that is included in the composition.
As used herein, unless expressly stated otherwise, the term “substantially free” or “essentially free” means the specific material may be present in small amounts that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristics of the compositions according to the disclosure. For instance, there may be less than 2% by weight of a specific material added to a composition, based on the total weight of the compositions (provided that an amount of less than 2% by weight does not materially affect the basic and novel characteristics of the compositions according to the disclosure. Similarly, the compositions may include less than 2%, less than 1.5%, less than 1%, less than 0.5%, less than 0.1%, less than 0.05%, or less than 0.01%, or none of the specified material. Furthermore, all components that are positively set forth in the instant disclosure may be negatively excluded from the claims, e.g., a claimed composition may be “free,” “essentially free” (or “substantially free”) of one or more components that are positively set forth in the instant disclosure. The term “substantially free” or “essentially free” as used herein may also mean that the specific material is not added to the composition but may still be present in a raw material that is included in the composition.
As used herein, the term “salts” refers to throughout the disclosure may include salts having a counter-ion, in either ionized or un-ionized form. It is to be understood that, with regard to salts of acids described herein, it is intended to encompass the use of a salt of the acid as an ingredient added to a composition according to the disclosure, or to the salt of the acid that forms when the acid is used as an ingredient in a composition according to the disclosure (in ionized or un-ionized form).
As used herein, the term “synthetic” means a material that is not of natural origin. The term “natural” and “naturally-sourced” means a material of natural origin, such as derived from plants, which also cannot be subsequently chemically or physically modified. “Plant-based” means that the material came from a plant.
As used herein, the term “temporary” should be understood to indicate that some degree of benefit or effect is imparted to the hair that remains from when the hair is treated with a composition according to the disclosure, until the composition is removed from the hair, e.g. by washing the hair.
Unless otherwise expressly stated, it is in no way intended that any method set forth herein be construed as requiring that its steps be performed in a specific order. Accordingly, where a method claim does not expressly recite an order to be followed by its steps or it is not specifically stated in the claims or descriptions that the steps are to be limited to a specific order, it is no way intended that any particular order be inferred.
The following examples are intended to be non-limiting and explanatory in nature only. In the Examples, amounts are expressed in percentage by weight (wt %) of active materials, relative to the total weight of the composition, unless otherwise noted.
In vitro swatch studies were performed to evaluate the performance of the compositions according to the present.
Exemplary comparative compositions C1, C2, and C3 and inventive compositions 1A and 1B were prepared according to the formulations set forth in Table 1.
All compositions were formulated in the form of gel-cream, where compositions had textures like a gel with an opaque creamy appearance. The pH of the compositions was about 5.5-6.5 at 25° C. The compositions had Brookfield viscosities of about 24,500 cps, measured using a spindle B at 10 rpm for about 1 min under ambient conditions.
Inventive compositions 1A and 1B and comparative compositions C1, C2, and C3 were tested against water (control) on virgin Caucasian hair swatches with curls according to the following process to evaluate the curl straightening efficacy of the compositions disclosed herein.
First, the hair swatches were washed with a commercially available shampoo in a bath ratio of about 0.4 g shampoo per gram of hair (0.4 g/g of hair). After the hair was washed, excess water was squeezed out of the swatches. Next, equal amounts of compositions 1A, 1B, and C1-C3 were respectively applied to a separate hair swatch in a bath ratio of about 0.15 g of composition per 1 g of hair, and were evenly distributed on the hair fibers by ten passes with fingers, followed by three passes with a comb to comb the hair straight. Hair swatches similarly treated with water were used as control. Photographs of these hair swatches were taken at this time point (T1). The hair swatches were then air dried at ambient condition. During drying, the hair swathes were shaken five (5) times to mimic consumer movement. Once the hair watches were dried, the swatches were evaluated for film properties (number of passes needed to break the film formed on the hair), straightness, frizziness, and tactile feel compared to the hair swatch treated with water (control) and photographs of these hair swatches were taken at this time point (T2). After the evaluation, the hair swatches were placed in a humidity chamber having 80% RH at room temperature (25° C.) for one hour. After the one-hour exposure to the high humidity condition, the hair swatches were re-evaluated for the level of straightness and frizziness, as well as tactile properties compared to the hair swatch treated using water (control). Photographs of these hair swatches were also taken at this time point (T3). The above testing was performed on hair swatches in duplicate, i.e., each composition was used to treat two separated hair swatches.
All properties were independently evaluated by ten (10) individuals. The straightness was evaluated on a scale of 1-5, with 1 the least straight and 5 the straightest. The frizziness was also evaluated on a scale of 1-5, with 1 the least frizzy and 5 the frizziest.
The visual and tactile properties of the hair swatches evaluated by the ten individuals at the time points of after the application of the composition while the treated hair was wet (T1) and after the treated hair was dried and passed by fingers (12) were summarized in Table 2.
The photographs of the hair swathes at time points T1, T2, and T3 in experiments Ex.1, Ex.2, Ex.3, Ex.4, and Ex.5, corresponding to the hair respectively treated with compositions C1, C2, 1A, C3, and 1B, against the hair swatches treated with water (control), was shown in the photographs in
As can be seen in
In this example, the performance of compositions according to the present disclosure having different levels of acrylates copolymers was tested and evaluated in vivo on a consumer's hair.
Compositions 2A and 2B according to the present disclosure with different amounts of acrylates copolymer as set forth in Table 3 were prepared.
Compositions 2A and 2B were in the form of a gel-cream and had viscosities of about 24,500 cps, when measured using a Brookfield rheometer with a spindle B at 10 rpm for 1 minute under the ambient condition. The pH of these compositions was about 5.5 to about 6.5 at 25° C.
Compositions 2A and 2B were tested in vivo on a consumer having curly hair with average hair density, diameter, and porosity.
Before starting the treatment, photographs were taken to show the initial look of the hair on the left side and right side of the consumer' head. After the initial photographs were taken, the consumer's hair was washed with a commercially available shampoo and then conditioned using a commercially available lightweight conditioner. The washed hair was diffused to approximately 80% dry. After then, 15 gram of each of compositions 2A and 2B was respectively applied in sections on the consumer's hair via half head application, where composition 2A was applied on the left side from back view and composition 2B was applied on the right sight from back view. After the applications, the hair on each side of the head was separately combed through to straighten, followed with air drying. After air-drying for approximately 4 hrs, the hair was evaluated for straightness and tactile feel, and photographs were taken to show final look of the hair on the left side and right side of the consumer' head at the end of the treatment (T1).
It was observed that during application, both compositions were easy to apply and easy to distribute with a good balance of slip and grip to help create a straight style during combing, with a slight preference by the consumer for composition 2B, which has less acrylates copolymer (latex) than composition 2A. In addition, it was observed that after the treated hair was dried and combed through, the straight style was maintained. When the treated hair was dried, the hair also exhibited improved root volume and hair movement, as well as other properties such as less frizzy, clean feel, lightweight, and smoothness.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the compositions and methods according to the disclosure without departing from the spirit or scope of the disclosure. Thus, it is intended that the disclosure cover such modifications and variations and their equivalents.
