Description
The present invention relates to new cosmetic compositions for dyeing or for bleaching hair, to be diluted with an oxidizing solution at the time of use, and to their application to hair.
In the present technique for dyeing hair, called "permanent dyeing", oxidation dye precursors dissolved in a substrate with a basic pH and containing a reducing agent are used, these dye precursors being converted into dyes in the hair by condensation in the presence of an oxidizing agent which generally consists of hydrogen peroxide, the oxidizing agent being added to the substrate just before the application to hair.
In the technique for slight bleaching or lightening of hair, an ammoniacal oxidizing composition prepared just before use by mixing the oxidizing agent with an ammoniacal substrate is employed. In the case where it is desired to obtain a higher degree of bleaching, a persalt which generally consists of an alkali metal persulphate is added to the ammoniacal oxidizing composition, just before use in this case as well.
The compositions for dyeing or for bleaching hair, also called dyeing or bleaching substrate, are generally in the form of creams, shampoos or gels.
Dyeing compositions or substrates which contain at least one fatty acid, at least one particular cationic polymer of the quaternary ammonium polymer type, benzyl alcohol and an alkalizing agent have already been proposed in French Patent No. 2,402,446. This dyeing substrate is in form of a stiff gelified cream which adheres well to hair and makes the hair easy to disentangle and pleasant to touch.
However, because of its consistency, this substrate is sometimes difficult to spread throughout the hair, from roots to tips.
The applicants have discovered that the dyeing or bleaching substrate defined below, which is slightly foamy, enables the composition to be spread very easily throughout the hair, by first restricting it to the undyed roots and then by spreading it easily up to the tips; additionally, this composition significantly improves the cosmetic properties of hair and especially the disentangling of wet and dried hair, which acquires a very silky touch.
Therefore, the subject of the invention is a cosmetic composition for dyeing or for bleaching hair, a composition which remains stable during storage and is slightly foamy, to be diluted with an oxidizing solution, containing in an aqueous medium at least one fatty acid soap, at least one cationic or amphoteric silicone polymer at least one cationic surfactant, at least one alkalizing agent and at least one cationic polymer chosen from amongst quaternary polyammonium polymers or "ionenes", vinylpyrrolidonedialkylaminoalkyl acrylate or methacrylate copolymers (quaternized or otherwise), poly(methacrylamidopropyltrimethylammonium chloride) cationic proteins and polyaminoamides which may be crosslinked or alkylated, if required.
When the substrate is used in a dyeing composition, oxidation dye precursors and a reducing agent are added thereto, and in this case a polymer chosen from the group of cationic cyclopolymers may also be used as the cationic polymer.
The soaps used according to the invention are chosen from among alkali metal salts and alkanolamine salts (such as monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol and triisopropanolamine) of C.sub.12 -C.sub.18 fatty acids, the fatty chain of which is saturated or unsaturated. Among fatty acids, lauric, palmitic, oleic and myristic acids may more particularly be mentioned.
Triethanolamine, monoethanolamine and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol salts of lauric, palmitic and oleic acids are the particularly preferred soaps.
The cationic or amphoteric silicone polymers used according to the invention are polysiloxanes in which one or more of the silicon atoms on the chain carry (carries) an aliphatic amino group, the amine group of which is primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary or has the betaine structure. The term "aliphatic amino" covers the aminoalkyl and aminohydroxyalkyl radicals, the alkyl chain of which may be interrupted by one or more nitrogen or oxygen atoms.
