HAIR COLORANTS FOR SIMULTANEOUS DYEING AND BRIGHTENING OF KERATIN FIBERS

Description

The present invention has for an object agents for the simultaneous dyeing and brightening of keratin fibers, for example wool, silk or hair and particularly human hair, and which contain at least one thiazolium dye.

Two coloring methods are usually used for the color-changing treatment of keratin fibers. By the first method, the coloring is accomplished with oxidative or permanent colorants and by the use of a mixture of different developers and couplers and an oxidant. By this method, if necessary, a direct (non-oxidative) dye can be added if the coloring result is to be adjusted or special coloring effects are to be achieved. The second method involves the exclusive use of direct dyes which in an appropriate carrier composition are applied to the fibers. This method is easy to apply, very gentle and causes only minor damage to the keratin fibers. The direct dyes used for this purpose are subject to many requirements. For example, they must be unobjectionable in toxicological and dermatological terms and must make it possible to attain colorations of a desired intensity which, among other things, presupposes sufficient water solubility. Moreover, the colorations obtained must exhibit good light stability, acid resistance and abrasion resistance.

Compared to oxidative colorations, non-oxidative ones as a rule exhibit lower durability and a less adequate color balance. In addition, direct dyes usually cannot “impart to the hair a brighter shade”, because many direct dyes do not tolerate the oxidants needed for brightening and/or the required pH which is higher than or equal to 9.

The goal of the present invention therefore is to provide a colorant—particularly for the blue color range—based on direct dyes that are resistant to basic pH conditions and to oxidants.

We have now found that this goal can be reached by use of certain thiazolium dyes.

The present invention therefore has for an object an agent for the simultaneous brightening and dyeing of keratin fibers—particularly hair—characterized in that (a) it contains an oxidant and (b) at least one thiazolium dye of formula (I) and (c) that it has a basic pH

The colorant of the invention contains the dyes of formula (I) and the direct dyes in a total amount of about 0.01 to 15 weight percent and particularly about 0.1 to 12 weight percent.

Naturally, it is also possible to add to the colorant of the invention oxidation precursors, for example o,p,m-phenylenediamines, o,p,m-aminophenols, diphenols or 4,5-diaminopyrazoles.

The colorant can contain these additional developers and couplers in an amount from about 0.01 to 20 wt. %, preferably from about 0.1 to 10 wt. % and particularly from 0.1 to 5 wt. %, each.

The colorant of the invention can be in the form of, for example, a solution, particularly an aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic solution, or a cream, a gel, a surfactant-containing foaming solution (shampoo, aerosol), an emulsion or some other water-containing carrier suitable for use on hair. The colorant of the invention can also be in the form of pellets, granulate or powder which before use are dissolved in an aqueous preparation, for example in water or in an aqueous oxidant preparation.

The composition of these agents consists of a mixture of the dye component with the additives usually employed for such preparations.

Common additives to solutions, creams, emulsions or gels are, for example, solvents such as water, the lower monohydric or polyhydric aliphatic alcohols, the esters and ethers thereof, for example alkanols, particularly those with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, for example ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol and isobutanol, dihydric and trihydric alcohols, particularly those with 2 to 6 carbon atoms, for example ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1,2,6-hexanetriol, glycerol, diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, polyalkylene glycols such as triethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, the lower alkyl ethers of polyhydric alcohols such as ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol monopropyl ether, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, triethylene glycol monomethyl ether and triethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ketones and keto alcohols, particularly those with 3 to 7 carbon atoms, for example acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, diethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl phenyl ketone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, diacetone alcohol, ethers, for example dibutyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, diisopropyl ether, esters, for example ethyl formate, methyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, butyl acetate, phenyl acetate, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate and hydroxyethyl acetate, amides, for example dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone as well as urea, tetramethylurea and thiodiglycol.

Moreover, the colorants of the invention can contain wetting agents or emulsifiers from the classes of anionic, cationic, amphoteric, nonionic or zwitterionic surface-active substances, for example fatty alcohol sulfates, ethoxylated fatty alcohol sulfates, alkylsulfonates, alkylbenzenesulfonates, o-olefinsulfonates, alkyltrimethylammonium salts, alkylbetaines, ethoxylated fatty alcohols, ethoxylated nonylphenols, fatty alkanolamides, ethoxylated fatty esters, fatty alcohol polyglycol ether sulfates, alkylpolyglucosides, thickeners such as the higher fatty alcohols, starch, cellulose derivatives, vaselines, paraffin oil, fatty acids and other fat constituents in emulsified form, water-soluble polymeric thickeners such as the natural gums, guar gum, xanthan gum, carob bean flour, pectin, dextran, agar, amylose, amylopectin, dextrins, clays or fully synthetic hydrocolloids, for example polyvinyl alcohol, as well as hair-care agents such as lanolin derivatives, cholesterol, pantothenic acid, water-soluble cationic polymers, protein derivatives, pro-vitamins, vitamins, plant extracts, sugar and betaine, auxiliary agents such as moisturizers, electrolytes, antioxidants, fatty amides, sequestering agents, film-forming agents and preservatives. In addition to water, a water-soluble organic solvent or a mixture of such solvents or a water/solvent mixture can be used.

The said constituents are used in amounts normally employed for such purposes, for example the wetting agents and emulsifiers at a concentration from about 0.1 to 30 wt. %, the thickeners in an amount from about 0.1 to 30 wt. % and the hair-care agents at a concentration from about 0.1 to 5 wt. %.

The ready-to-use colorant of the invention is prepared just before use by mixing the dyes-containing dye carrier composition with an oxidant.

Suitable oxidants are mainly hydrogen peroxide and the compounds of addition thereof to urea, melamine, sodium borate or sodium carbonate in the form of a 1% to 12% and preferably 3% to 9% aqueous solution. The weight ratio of dye carrier composition to oxidant is preferably about 5:1 to 1:3 and particularly 1:1 to 1:2. Larger amounts of oxidant are used primarily with higher concentrations of oxidative dye precursors in the colorant or when it is desired to achieve more pronounced bleaching of the keratin fibers (particularly hair) at the same time. In the event that a brightening of the keratin fibers of up to 6 shade degrees is intended, it is possible to add a persulfate, for example ammonium persulfate, potassium persulfate or sodium persulfate or a mixture thereof, provided that the dyes of formula (I) are resistant to persulfates.

After the dye carrier composition and the oxidant have been mixed, the pH of the ready-to-use colorant assumes a value which depends on the pH of the dye carrier composition and that of the oxidant as well as on the mixing ratio. The ready-to-use agent has a basic pH higher than 7 and preferably a pH of 8 to 11. The adjustment to basic conditions is preferably done with ammonia, although organic amines, for example 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, monoethanolamine and triethanolamine, or mixtures of organic amines and ammonia, as well as inorganic bases such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium hydrogen carbonate, sodium phosphate, borax (Na₂B₄O₇×10 H₂O) or disodium hydrogen phosphate can be used. Up to the high pH values, the pH can be corrected with an inorganic or organic acid, for example with phosphoric acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, ascorbic acid, citric acid or tartaric acid.

An amount of this mixture sufficient for the coloring treatment is applied to the keratin fibers, generally about 30 to 120 grams, and the mixture is allowed to act on the fibers at about 15 to 50° C., preferably at 30 to 40° C., for about 1 to 60 minutes, preferably 5 to 30 minutes, after which the keratin fibers are rinsed with water and dried. Following this rinsing, the fibers can optionally be washed with a shampoo and possibly post-rinsed with a weak organic acid, for example citric acid or tartaric acid. The keratin fibers are then dried.

It is also possible, when it is necessary to dye hair that has been damaged to different degrees (for example, to re-dye previously oxidatively dyed parts of the hair), to apply to the previously damaged parts of the hair (for example the hair tips) the dye carrier composition without an oxidant in neat form or diluted only with another acidic, neutral or basic aqueous component, and to apply to the undamaged or only slightly damaged parts of hair (for example the hair roots and hair shafts) the mixture of the dye carrier composition and the oxidant. The aqueous component used for dilution can contain the afore-said common additives for solutions, creams, emulsions or gels. By this method, it is possible to achieve colorations adapted to the hair consistency and characterized by a hair-sparing balance between hair roots and hair tips, which is not possible when common oxidative hair colorants are used, because in the latter case an oxidant is always needed for the coupling of the dye precursors.

The colorant of the invention produces colorations that stand out by their special color intensity and brightness, by a good color balance between damaged and undamaged hair (for example between hair tips and newly grown hair) and by very good light stability and pespiration resistance.

Some of the dyes are by themselves known. The dyes of formula (I) can be prepared by methods analogous to the known methods of preparation, for example via azo coupling of 2-aminothiazole derivatives with N-benzylaminophenyl derivatives followed by quaternization, or via oxidative condensation of thiazolone hydrazones with N-benzylamino-phenyl derivatives.
