The present invention relates to a process for lightening keratin fibres, comprising the application to the keratin fibres of a composition comprising at least one chemical oxidizing agent, at least one bicarbonate and at least one silicate.
When a person wishes to change hair colour, in particular when he or she wishes to obtain a lighter colour than his or her original colour, it is often necessary to carry out, beforehand, hair lightening or bleaching. To do this, lightening or bleaching products are used.
The lightening of hair is evaluated by the “tone depth”, which characterizes the degree or level of lightening. The notion of “tone” is based on the classification of natural shades, one tone separating each shade from the shade immediately following or preceding it. This definition and the classification of natural shades are well known to hairstyling professionals and are published in the book Sciences des traitements capillaires [The Science of Hair Care] by Charles Zviak, 1988, published by Masson, pp. 215 and 278.
The tone depths range from 1 (black) to 10 (very light blond), one unit corresponding to one tone; the higher the figure, the lighter the shade.
It is known practice to lighten or bleach the hair with lightening or bleaching compositions containing at least one chemical oxidizing agent, under alkaline pH conditions in the vast majority of cases. The role of this oxidizing agent is to degrade the melanin of the hair, which, depending on the nature of the oxidizing agent present and on the pH conditions, leads to more or less pronounced lightening of the fibres. Thus, for relatively mild lightening, the oxidizing agent is generally hydrogen peroxide. When greater lightening is desired, in particular when the treated hair is dark, persulfates are normally used, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. However, the lightening obtained through the action of such a combination is not always satisfactory since hair with fairly unattractive orangey-yellow shades that are very different from natural shades is obtained, thereby complicating the subsequent colouring by limiting it to the obtaining of warm tones. Furthermore, persulfate-based lightening compositions can lead to a degradation of the quality of the fibre.
There is thus a real need to develop a process which makes it possible to obtain efficient lightening of keratin fibres, in particular of dark keratin fibres, with a less yellow and more natural result. Such a process will also have to be more attentive to the quality of the fibres, minimizing in particular their degradation.
The applicant has discovered, surprisingly, that all of these objectives can be achieved by the process according to the present invention.
According to a first aspect, a subject of the present invention is a process for lightening keratin fibres, comprising the application to the keratin fibres of a composition comprising:
According to a second aspect, a subject of the present invention is the use of a composition as defined above for lightening keratin fibres, preferably for lightening keratin fibres while at the same time making them less yellow.

According to a first aspect, a subject of the present invention is a process for lightening keratin fibres as defined above.
The applicant has noted, surprisingly, that the process according to the present invention makes it possible to obtain efficient lightening of keratin fibres with a less yellow and more natural result. When the colour of the keratin fibres treated by the process according to the invention is compared to the colour of the keratin fibres treated by lightening processes known from the prior art, values of b*, measured in the CIE L* a* b* system, are observed that are lower for the composition used in the process according to the invention than for the lightening compositions known from the prior art, at equivalent intensity level L*.
Moreover, the process according to the invention is more attentive to the quality of the fibres, minimizing in particular their degradation.

According to a particular embodiment, the composition (B1) is anhydrous.
According to a particular embodiment, the composition (A1) is aqueous and the composition (B1) is anhydrous.
The composition used in the process according to the present invention makes it possible to obtain a lightening of keratin fibres characterized by a value of b* which is lower, preferably 10% lower, more preferentially 15% lower, than the value of b* measured at the same intensity level L* on keratin fibres that have been lightened using a composition comprising one or more persulfates, the values of b* and L* being measured in the CIE L*a*b* system.
Preferably, the values of b* and L* are measured according to the colour evaluation method described in the examples.
According to a second aspect, a subject of the present invention is the use of the composition as defined above for lightening keratin fibres, preferably for lightening keratin fibres while at the same time making them less yellow.
According to a third aspect, a subject of the present invention is a multi-compartment device (kit) comprising:
Preferably, the multi-compartment device comprises:
The examples that follow allow the invention to be understood more clearly, without, however, being limiting in nature. In the examples that follow, unless otherwise indicated, all the amounts are shown as weight percentages relative to the total weight of the composition.
In these examples, the colour of the locks was evaluated in the CIE L* a* b* system, using a colorimeter which is a Minolta CM3610A Spectrophotometer (illuminant D65).
In this L* a* b* system, L* represents the intensity of the colour, a* indicates the shade of the colour on the green/red colour axis and b* indicates the shade of colour on the blue/yellow colour axis. The higher the value of L*, the lighter the colour. The higher the value of a*, the redder the colour and the higher the value of b*, the yellower the colour.
The following compositions C1 to C12 were prepared and then applied according to the application protocol described below:
10 g of each of the compositions C1 to C12 are applied to 12 locks of 1 g of Caucasian HT4 hair on a hot plate maintained at a temperature of 33° C. The whole thing is covered with a cellophane film for 50 min.
The locks are subsequently rinsed, washed with a standard shampoo, rinsed again and then dried.
The results of the colorimetric measurements are summarized in the following table:
The results show that comparative compositions comprising a persulfate make it possible to obtain a good level of lightening characterized by relatively high values of L*, but the colour shades obtained have a pronounced yellow component characterized by high values of b*.
The following compositions C13 to C20 were prepared and then applied according to the application protocol described below:
10 g of each of the compositions C13 to C20 are applied to 8 locks of 1 g of Caucasian HT4 hair on a hot plate maintained at a temperature of 33° C. The whole thing is covered with a cellophane film for 50 min.
The locks are subsequently rinsed, washed with a standard shampoo, rinsed again and then dried.
The results of the colorimetric measurements are summarized in the following table:
The results show that compositions according to the invention make it possible to obtain a good level of lightening characterized by relatively high values of L*. Furthermore, the colour shades obtained are characterized by values of b* which are lower, at an equivalent level of intensity L*, for the compositions according to the present invention than for the persulfate-based comparative compositions of Example 1, as illustrated in
