Hair coloring compositions containing a sulfo-containing water dispersible colored polymer and an emulsifier

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to compositions and processes for non-permanently coloring keratinous fibers, particularly hair on the human scalp, comprising the use of sulfo-containing, water-dispersible, colored polymers wherein the colorant moiety is incorporated into or onto a carbonyloxy and/or carbonylamide backbone of the polymer. The polymers are uniquely designed to offer cosmetically desirable color coatings on hair and to be easily dispersible in hot water, yet offer excellent resistance to redispersion in water at room temperature.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is very desirable to offer users of hair colorants the option of coloring their hair in such a manner that the effect of the coloring treatment can be easily removed or reversed by the use of regular, commercial shampoo products. Uncertainty and concern about selecting the right color, the wish to easily experiment with different hair tonalities, and the changing requirements of fashion and lifestyles, all contribute to the desirability of non-permanent hair coloring products. Additionally, there is a frequent need to modulate or adjust the color produced by prior, more permanent color treatments. This is especially desirable in order to compensate for the gradual color fading which is always observed after using even the most permanent hair coloring products.
Another application for hair coloring materials which can easily and reversibly color hair comprises incorporating them into frequently used hair care products such as conditioners, mousses and setting lotions. This allows the user to conveniently tone or introduce color highlights in the hair without the need for a separate coloring process.
Customarily, hair is colored using low molecular weight compounds which penetrate the keratinous fibers. This approach has been successful for producing permanent and semipermanent color effects on hair. It requires, however, some affinity between the chromophore-bearing molecules of the colorant and the fibers and, as a result, it becomes very difficult even after repeated shampooing to remove all the colorant which has penetrated into the hair. In addition, these permanent and semi-permanent treatments are very sensitive to variations in the quality of hair among different individuals. Treatments which do not penetrate the hair fibers, but which color hair by depositing colored materials only on the hair fiber surface, are practically insensitive to such variations, can be easily removed and have therefore been proposed and used for the non-permanent, i.e. totally reversible, coloring of hair.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,559,057 describes the use of insoluble pigments. Due to their poor adherence to the hair surface, they are to be used together with a polymeric binder in order to reduce rub-off of the color and produce acceptable color coatings on hair. Insoluble pigments are very different from the soluble dyes of the present invention.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,804,719 discloses polymeric compositions which contain carbonyloxy and carbonylamide links, particularly polyesters and polyesteramides, having water solubilizing sulfonate groups and colorants, copolymerized onto or into the polymer backbone. It is indicated in this patent that these polymers are useful in adhesives, coating materials, films and packaging materials. It is also stated therein that aqueous dispersions of these materials have utility as inks, paints and other industrial coatings, all of which are intended to be permanent in nature. No disclosure is made relating to the specific art of dyeing keratinous fibers, non-permanently or otherwise.
Various examples of thermally stable industrial colorants useful for manufacturing colored polymers through incorporation into or onto the sulfopolyester polymer are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,571,319; 3,034,920; 3,104,233; 3,372,138; 3,417,048; 3,489,713; 3,278,486; 3,359,230; 3,401,192; 3,417,048; 3,424,708; 4,049,376; 4,080,355; 4,088,650; 4,116,923; 4,141,881; 4,202,814; 4,231,918; 4,267,306; 4,279,802; 4,292,232; 4,344,767; 4,359,570; 4,403,092; 4,477,635; 4,594,400; 4,617,373; 4,617,374; 4,740,581; 4,745,173; 4,808,677; 4,892,922; 4,892,923; 4,958,043; 4,999,418; 5,030,708; 5,032,670; 5,075,491; 5,086,161; 5,102,980; 5,106,942; 5,151,516; 5,179,207; 5,194,571; 5,274,072; 5,281,658 and 5,384,377. None of the above references suggest the application of the industrial colorants to human hair.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,300,580 and 5,158,762 disclose hair spray compositions comprising colorless, sulfo-containing, water dispersible polyesters which are useful for giving hair a firm texture and for holding hair in a desired arrangement for a certain length of time. These polymers are fundamentally different from those in the present invention in that the reference does not teach or suggest colored molecules. Inherently, they also fail to suggest incorporating colored molecules into or onto the polymeric backbone.
In order for colored polymers to be useful in non-permanent hair coloring they must fulfill a number of requirements which are quite distinct from those necessary for hair spray resins. Specifically, they must form films that strongly adhere to the hair surface. Such films must also remain flexible enough under different temperature and relative humidity conditions so as to withstand the bending of hair without fracturing and separating from the fibers. They should, however, be hard enough to prevent the transfer of color if rubbed against parts of the body, clothing, etc. They must be easily and completely removable by shampooing and yet, in order to prevent color bleed, they cannot be easily redispersed or resolubilized by contact with water at room temperature. They must also obviously be safe and not irritate or stain the skin. In contrast, hair spray and other hair styling colorless polymers are practically invisible to the naked eye. As a result, rub-off onto other surfaces, moderate flaking of fractured film particles, incomplete shampoo removability, and "bleed" upon exposure to water would not be noticed. Unlike the aforementioned colorless polymers, the intense coloration of the polymers described in this invention would make even small-trace quantities of them quite obvious, and easily noticeable on hair, other surfaces and in solution. It can thus be easily understood that the requirements for hair spray or hair styling colorless polymers are intrinsically far less stringent than those for colored polymers for use in non-permanent hair coloring products. It is then by no means anticipated that, if a certain type of colorless polymer useful in hair fixatives could be made colored even without changing its properties, it would then also be advantageously useful for non-permanent hair coloring. It is moreover well known to those familiar with polymer chemistry and properties that it is extremely difficult to incorporate a new and different comonomer into or onto a polymer backbone without substantially changing the properties of the polymer.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,251,743 to BASF and 3,535,255; 3,567,678; 3,597,468; 3,617,165; 3,619,101; 3,720,653; 3,763,086; 3,797,994 and 3,915,635 to L'Oreal disclose colored polymers and compositions for coloring hair. These polymers are structurally different from those disclosed in the present invention in that they do not have solubilizing sulfonate groups and they have a hydrocarbon backbone. They rely instead on carboxy groups which in some cases have to be neutralized by organic or inorganic bases in order to make these polymers water soluble. Alternatively, they can be dissolved in alcohol or alcohol-water solutions.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,182,612 describes a new class of water soluble cationic colored polymers useful for dyeing hair prepared by the colorant reaction of chromophores with selected polymer backbones. U.S. Pat. No. 4,228,259 also describes the preparation and use for dyeing hair of water soluble cationic colored polymer having various amine groups wherein said amine groups are either a part of or aid in the linking to the polymer chain of an aryl or arylaliphatic chomophore. The polymers in both of these patents are different from those in the present invention in that they do not have water solubilizing sulfonate groups and the structure of the backbone is very different. In addition, and by design, their cationic nature gives them a very strong affinity for hair, making them very shampoo resistant and therefore not suitable for temporary, i.e. easily removable, hair coloring treatments.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,051,138; 4,144,252; and 4,169,203 to Dynapol describe the composition of water soluble colored anionic polymers. These polymers are different from those of the present invention in various important respects. The polymer backbone is a simple hydrocarbon chain whereas the polymers described in this invention contain carbonyloxy and/or carbonylamide moieties in the backbone. Although the polymers in these three patents similarly have water solubilizing sulfonate groups, these polymers were mainly designed to be used as water soluble colorants in foods and beverages and are so readily and quickly water soluble that they would show excessive color bleeding if used to color hair. In addition, they are not good film forming polymers and, because of these characteristics, they are not useful as substantive hair colorants. In contrast, since the sulfo-containing polymers of the present invention are not readily water-soluble, less bleeding is observed. Thus, they are a major improvement over the Dynapol compounds.
In summary, the colored polymers used in this invention have chemical structures different from the colored polymers proposed as hair colorants in the prior art. The combination of the water-solubilizing sulfonate groups, colored monomers, and the structure of the polymer backbone, which may include three to four additional monomers, is unique. Unexpectedly, this type of structure produces colored polymers which are highly resistant to dispersion in ambient temperature water. As a result, when these polymers are present on the hair surface as dry films, color bleed upon exposure to ambient temperature water is insignificant.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is the purpose of this invention to provide a fast and convenient method and a hair coloring composition for non-permanently coloring hair. The hair coloring composition comprises a colored, sulfo-containing, water-dispersible polymer having carbonyloxy and/or carbonylamide links and has the colorant moiety incorporated into or onto the backbone of the polymer by covalent bonds. Other water-dispersible or water-soluble polymers may be present. The colored polymer may be formulated into conventional type hair care systems such as mousses, gels, sprays and lotions.
It is further a purpose of this invention to provide a fast and convenient composition and method for non-permanently coloring hair with a full range of color shades and which can be easily and completely removed by simple shampooing.
It is another object of the invention to provide compositions and a method for non-permanently coloring hair, wherein the colored hair shows minimal color bleed upon exposure to ambient temperature water, virtually no color rub-off and excellent resistance to flaking during combing and brushing.
It is also a purpose of the present invention to provide compositions and a method for non-permanently coloring hair involving the use of colored polymers which are readily dispersed in hot (e.g., above about 80.degree. C.) water without the assistance of detergents, organic cosolvents, or organic or inorganic bases, thus eliminating their exposure to the user and their contaminating effect on the environment.
It is yet another purpose of this invention to provide compositions and a fast method for non-permanently coloring hair which does not stain the skin, which is safe, and which minimizes the exposure to the user of low molecular weight colored compounds.
It is another purpose of this invention to provide compositions for non-permanent hair coloring which can be easily removed by simple shampooing, but if so desired can be made more permanent to last through several (i.e., 6-8) shampooings by a subsequent rinse of the colored hair with an aqueous solution of inorganic salts, such as bi-valent and tri-valent ions (e.g., Fe.sup.+++, Al.sup.+++, Mg.sup.++, Ca.sup.++).
It is an additional object of the invention to provide a composition which can be conveniently used as a color refresher to compensate for the gradual color fading observed after more permanent color treatments.
It is another object of the present invention to provide compositions which can be readily used to non-permanently color hair in a way which makes it appear lighter in color.
Lastly, it is yet one more object of this invention to provide multiple purpose compositions and methods to non-permanently color hair and at the same time provide other benefits such as hair setting, styling and hair conditioning in one single treatment.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
It has been surprisingly discovered that colored polymers similar to those described in the Background of the Invention relating to industrial applications can be advantageously used for the temporary surface coloring of keratinous fibers, particularly hair on the human scalp. This result is unexpected due to the important differences in chemical composition and properties between the surface of keratin fibers and the surfaces of cellulose based papers, containers and other man-made substrates onto which inks and paints are normally applied. Adequate wetting adhesion and film formation on the latter surfaces are no predictors of performance on the surface of human hair. In addition, other properties such as ease of removal from the hair by shampooing, resistance to brushing and absence of scalp staining could not have been anticipated from their industrial use as inks, paints or coatings, particularly since such applications are intended to be and are permanent.
The non-permanent coloration of hair is conveniently, quickly and safely provided by the method of the present invention which, in its broadest sense, comprises applying to the hair a tinctorially effective amount of a colored, sulfo-containing, water-dispersible polymeric material having carbonyloxy linking groups, wherein the colorant moiety is reacted into or onto the polymeric backbone. The linking groups may further comprise carbonylamide linking groups, provided at least about 20 mole % of the linking groups are carbonyloxy linking groups. Preferably, the polymer contains water-solubilizing sulfonate groups and the colorant comprises one or more heat stable organic compounds initially having at least one condensable group, wherein the colorant is present in an amount from about 1 to about 40 mole %, based on the total of all reactant hydroxy, carboxy and amino equivalents. These equivalents encompass the various condensable derivatives thereof including carbalkoxy, carbaryloxy, N-alkycarbamyloxy, acyloxy, chlorocarbonyl, carbamyloxy, N-(alkyl).sub.2 carbamyloxy, alkylamino, N-phenylcarbamyloxy, cyclohexanoyloxy and carbocyclohexyloxy.

The invention also relates to a hair coloring composition which comprises:
(1) about 0.05 to about 40 weight % of a colored, sulfo-containing, water-dispersible, polymer having about 20 mole % to about 100 mole % carbonyloxy linking groups and 0% to about 80 mole % carbonylamide linking groups, wherein the colorant moiety is reacted into or onto the backbone of the polymer;

In a preferred hair coloring composition, the carbonyloxy linking groups are polyesters and the carbonylamide linking groups, if any, are polyamides.
In an alternative hair coloring composition, the polymer described in (1) above may be a blend of polymers comprising:

The colorless, sulfo-containing, water-dispersible polyesters and polyamides useful in the above hair coloring formulation are described in detail in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,546,008; 3,734,874; 3,779,993; and 4,335,220 and some compositions are commercially available from Eastman Chemical Company as Eastman AQ29D, 29S, 38D, 38S, 48D, 48S, 55D and 55S.

Vinyl acetate, styrene, acrylate esters and methacrylate esters are typical comonomers which provide suitable water soluble vinyl copolymers for the practice of the invention.
Other additives such as preservatives, fragrances, pH adjusting agents, hair conditioners, thickeners, antifoaming agents, anti-static agents, plasticizers, etc. may be added to the hair colorant formulation in such quantities as desired, usually up to about 5.0% by weight of the total composition.
Of course, aerosol propellants may be added to generate mousses, sprays, foams, etc. Preferred aerosol propellants are dimethyl ether or an aliphatic hydrocarbon component consisting of C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 straight or branched chain hydrocarbons such as methane, ethane, propane, n-butane, isobutane, etc., or mixtures thereof.
The hair coloring method of the present invention, and the hair coloring compositions described herein, provide surprisingly desirable non-permanent colorings of hair which are easily and completely removable in hot water, such as when shampooing, yet offer excellent resistance to redispersion in ambient temperature water and excellent resistance to flaking during combing and brushing. Additionally, the surprisingly balanced substantivity property results in virtually no color rub-off. Thus, a superior non-permanent hair coloring method and composition are provided.

The flask and contents were immersed into a Belmont metal bath and heated for two hours at 200.degree.-220.degree. C. while ester interchange occurred. To carry out the polycondensation reaction, the temperature was increased to about 250.degree. C. and the flask was held under vacuum .ltoreq.0.5 mmHg for about 20 minutes. The resulting polymer was dark blue and contained about 10% (W/W) cyan colorant. The polymer was granulated by grinding in a Wiley mill.

EXAMPLE 27
The aerosol hair coloration formulation of Example 26 was applied to uncolored hair tresses by spraying at room temperature. After a few minutes, some of the tresses were rinsed by holding under cold running tap water. Other tresses were allowed to dry overnight and then rinsed by holding under hot tap water. All of the samples showed good coverage and considerable color. Shampooing and then rinsing of the colored hair tresses with warm tap water removed most of the coloration. Thus, a method of providing temporary hair coloration which is readily removed by shampooing is provided.

The composition was applied to naturally blonde hair tresses as described in Example 28, producing a pale reddish shade. The composition can be used as a color refresher to adjust for fading on hair previously colored with a permanent oxidation dye product. In addition, the natural feel of the hair remains practically unaffected because Red Anthraquinone, the major component, contains a very high level of chromophore (30 WT %) in its backbone and not much of it is needed to produce useful shades. Polymers used in Examples 24-32 have only 10 WT % of chromophore in the backbone.

The composition was applied to naturally blonde hair tresses as described in Example 28. It produced a reddish brown color. The hair showed very small level of flaking when brushed, slight rub-off against a white cloth, and insignificant color bleed in tap water. As in previous examples, if the tresses are shampooed at this stage, all of the color from the hair can be removed by one or at the most two latherings with a commercial shampoo. If on the other hand the colored hair tresses are then treated by quick immersion in a 3.0% aqueous solution of Ferric Chloride (FeCl.sub.3 .cndot.6H.sub.2 O) and dried, one observes that after six latherings with a commercial shampoo a considerable amount of color still remains on the hair. Even after six additional latherings, for a total of twelve, the original reddish brown color is still perceptible, albeit much weaker on the hair. An important result is that the original shade is removed on tone, that is, each of the individual colored polymers in the composition is being removed by repeated shampooing at a similar rate. This post treatment with an inorganic salt can be advantageously used to make treatments with the colored polymer in this invention more durable.

Nos. 4,051,138; 4,144,252, and 4,169,203 assigned to Dynapol.
Grey and bleached hair swatches were dipped into one percent aqueous solution of PolyT, combed through, and dried at ambient conditions. The colored tresses were immersed in ambient temperature tap water for five minutes for an evaluation of water bleed. It was estimated that after this time, 95% of the color was lost from the grey hair tresses and virtually all the color was lost from the bleached hair tresses.
While the invention has been described with particular reference to certain embodiments thereof, it will be understood that changes and modifications may be made which are within the skill of the art. The present invention is limited only by the claims that follow.
