Description

  The present invention relates to a hair treatment composition containing a specific fatty acid ester and a sterol, and more particularly to a hair treatment composition that improves the feel and volume of the hair.

  Generally, hair treatment compositions, such as hair treatments, shampoos, rinses, hair dyes or hair bleaching compositions contain hair care ingredients. As a hair care component, for example, high molecular silicone is known as a component for improving the feel and unity of hair. Cholesterol as a hair care component is known to improve the flexibility, moisture retention, and unity of hair.

  For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a hair cosmetic containing a high molecular silicone, a volatile hydrocarbon oil, a cholesterol derivative, and a low viscosity silicone oil. The hair cosmetic disclosed in Patent Document 1 improves the feel and unity of the hair and improves the flexibility of the hair.

JP 2007-223930 A (see Table 1 etc.)

  However, the hair cosmetic disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a problem that the moisturizing effect of the hair becomes excessive with time and the hair may become sticky. There is a problem that the whole hair becomes heavy and the elasticity of the hair, particularly near the base of the hair, is lowered, making it difficult to make a hairstyle with a volume feeling. On the other hand, in order to improve the volume feeling of the hair, there is a problem in that the flexibility may be lowered when the amount of a moisturizing component in the hair cosmetic, for example, a cholesterol derivative is decreased.

  The present inventors focused on the type of fatty acid ester in a hair treatment composition containing sterol, and sought a method for improving hair volume while maintaining the flexibility of the hair. As a result, it came to discover that the said subject can be solved by using a specific fatty acid ester and sterol together. An object of the present invention is to provide a hair treatment composition that can improve the flexibility of hair and the volume of hair.

  In order to achieve the above object, the hair treatment composition of the invention according to claim 1 contains at least one selected from (A) fatty acid esters consisting of fatty acids and flavonoids, and (B) sterols and derivatives thereof. To do.

The invention described in claim 2 is the hair treatment composition according to claim 1, wherein the flavonoid is flavanone.
The invention according to claim 3 is the hair treatment composition according to claim 1 or 2, wherein at least one selected from (B) sterol and derivatives thereof is lanosterol, cholesterol, phytosterol, cholesteryl isostearate. , And dimer linoleic acid di (isostearyl / phytosteryl).

Next, the embodiment will be described more specifically with reference to examples and comparative examples.
By mixing each component shown in Table 1, a hair treatment as a hair treatment composition of each example was prepared. In addition, the unit of the numerical value which shows the compounding quantity of each table | surface is the mass%, The value has shown the pure part of the component as described in each table | surface. In the table, “A” and “B” in the “component” column indicate compounds corresponding to the respective components described in the claims of the present application. On the other hand, the notation of a and b in the “component” column in the table indicates a comparative compound of each component described in the claims of the present application in each comparative example.

  The hair of five straight bob style models that had been subjected to hair dyeing treatment or hair decoloring treatment twice within 3 months before this test was first washed with a test shampoo. The test shampoo is a 10% by weight aqueous solution of sodium laureth sulfate. Next, the hair treatment of each example was applied to the wet hair that had been washed with a test shampoo and blended into the hair. Next, after leaving the hair at room temperature (25 ° C.) for 3 minutes, it was rinsed with warm water and dried with a dryer. The hair treated with the hair treatment of each example was evaluated for moisture retention, unity, flexibility, and volume.

<Humidity of hair>
About the moisture retention of the hair treated with the hair treatment of each example, five models compared the hair bundle for comparison by comparing with the hair bundle sample for comparison (washed with test shampoo and dried). Moisturizing properties were evaluated based on the number of people judged to have a moist feeling than the sample. Table 1 also shows the number of people judged to have a moist feeling.

<A feeling of unity hair>
About the sense of unity of the hair treated with the hair treatment of each example, brushing using a brush and hand comb for the hair of five model models and a comparative hair bundle sample (washed with a test shampoo and dried) Whether or not the hair had a feeling of unity than the comparative hair bundle sample was judged by visual and tactile sensations. Based on the number of people judged to be present, the sense of unity of hair was evaluated. Table 1 also shows the number of people judged to be present.

<Hair flexibility>
About the softness of the hair treated with the hair treatment of each example, five models compared the hair bundle for comparison by comparing with the hair bundle sample for comparison (washed with test shampoo and dried). Flexibility was evaluated based on the number of people who were determined to be softer than the sample. Table 1 shows the number of people judged to have.

<Hair volume (quantity)>
The volume of the hair was judged by visually observing the hair treated with the hair treatment of each example. Regarding the evaluation of the voluminous feel of hair, it was judged that there was a voluminous sensation when there was a voluminous sensation due to sufficient elasticity near the root of the hair. The sense of volume was evaluated based on the number of people judged to be. Table 1 also shows the number of people judged to be present.

<Durability of hair volume (quantity)>
Concerning the persistence of the volume of hair, after treating the hair treated with the hair treatment of each example for 6 hours in an atmosphere of normal temperature (25 ° C.) and normal humidity (65% ± 20%), the volume is the same as above. The feeling was evaluated.

各表に示されるように、各実施例に係るヘアトリートメントは、各比較例に対し、毛髪の保湿性、まとまり感、柔軟性、及びボリューム感に優れることが分かった。

As shown in each table, it was found that the hair treatment according to each example was superior to each comparative example in the moisture retention, unity, flexibility, and volume of the hair.

  In Comparative Example 1 that does not contain fatty acid ester (A), which is an ester of fatty acid and flavonoid in hair treatment, and Comparative Example 2 that contains hesperetin, which is flavanone, the volume feeling and its sustainability are particularly high for each example. It turns out that evaluation is low.

  It was found that Comparative Example 3 which does not contain (B) sterol or the like in the hair treatment has a particularly low evaluation of moisturizing property, unity, and flexibility with respect to each example. It was found that Comparative Example 4 containing white petrolatum instead of (B) sterol or the like in the hair treatment had a particularly low evaluation of the moisture retention property, flexibility and volume feeling of each hair. It was found that Comparative Example 5 containing diisostearyl malate instead of (B) sterol or the like in the hair treatment showed particularly low evaluation of the moisture retention property and the sustainability of the volume feeling for each example. .

Next, the technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and other examples will be described below.
(A) The said hair treatment composition applied as a chemical treatment agent for hair, for example, a post-treatment agent of a hair dye, a hair bleaching agent, a decoloring agent, and a hair modifier. (B) The said hair treatment composition applied as a hair care agent. Therefore, it is possible to impart an excellent touch and moisturizing effect to damaged hair.
