This application is a continuation in part of commonly owned and co-pending application Serial Number 07/875,874 filed April 4, 1992. , ~, FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention concerns methods and compositions for dyeing human hair.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION -;
`'".
Modern hair dyeing methodology has developed from` its initiation in the 1950s to the point where today it is the third largest product type in the hair care category, following shampoos and conditioners.
~., One widely employed method for dyeing hair is based upon the production of the natura} pigment me~lanin. The exact structure of melanin it not known. It~is a polymer produced from tyrosine by a series of metabolic reactions the exact course of which remains to be clarified. To take advantage of what has been ~`
elucidated with respe-t to the formation of melanin, it .;
WO93/21898 PCT/US93/~3630 ;~ 13 l ~Sl ~
has become the practice of the art to utilize 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) or 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic (DHICA) as the dyeing agent. These compounds have been clearly established as intermediates in the pathway leading to the production of melanin.
There are a number of problems associated with the use of DHI. It is difficult and expensive to synthesize and is extremely unstable in air. It rapidly decamposes in air to form other materials which are ineffective as hair colorants.
. .
Diacetoxyindole (DAI) is used by the art in its attempts to avoid these problems with DHI. The practice has been to package DAI under mildly alkaline conditions in packages designed to protect the ingredients from air. Over the course of the time, between the initial packaging and the final use, the DAI is hydrolyzed to ~
DHI. Since it is protected from air by the packaging, ;
the DHI remains stable until it is ready for use.
WO93/21898 ~ PCT~US93/03630 It is known that use of DHI alone requires a long dyeout time. Therefore a variety of accelerators has been emp~oyed to hasten the dye formation. Oxidants~
such as hydrogen peroxide, are the most widely employed of the various accelerators which have been proposed.
The use of oxidants has not been particularly successful with DHI, because oxidation takes place before the DHI penetrates the hair. Ideally, the DHI
shou~d penetrate the hair before oxidation takes place so that the pigment forms within the hair fiber. When the colorant forms in this manner, the color does not easily wash out. In contrast, if oxidation and melanin formation take place in the solution there is little or .
no dyeinq effect. If oxidation takes place on the surface of the hair, the coloring is easily washed away during shampooing.
..
In attempts to avoid these problems, the art has -adoptedja two step process~ DHI is applied first and allowed to penetrate into the hair. The oxidant is `
applied in a second step. This procedure is described, for example, in US 2,934,396. Such procedures are `~
lengthy and inconvenient.
.

It isi~ne object of this invention to provide a one-step dyeing procedure, that is, a method, in which DHI ;
and oxidant are applied to the hair simultaneously.
Dyeing with DHI is very attractive to many consumers, since its conversion to melanin is close to the natural `-pigmentation process. However, there are disadvantages.
One such disadvantage is that, while natural hair color comes in an inexhaustible variety of shades, many ;
oxidants which are used in combination with DHI dye the hair only to a gray or black color with little or no ~
warmth. Extensive research efforts have been undertaken -to find ways to modify the final color result after dyeing with DHI.
One way to obtain a brown tonality is through use of hydrogen peroxide. In this procedure, the hair is first -``
dyed black through formation of melanin and thcn `~;
partially bleached to brown through destruction of part of the melanin. A clear disadvantage is the waste of ;~
DHI, which is supplied at the beginning. This is important, because DHI is an expensive raw material, and will control the price of the final product.
~ `:
W093/21898 ~ 3 i~ 1 PCT/US93/03630 .
A second disadvantage is the fact that uneven and unpredictable results are often obtained due to the heterogeneity of living hair and the difference in its affinities for the dye, which vary from one person to another.
A third disadvantage is the likelihood of oxidative - damage to the keratin of the hair as a result of the use of a product, containing peroxide - noticeable in a coarse feel of the hair. Moreover, hydrogen peroxide is normally used under alkaline conditions, with ammonia or an amine as the alkaline reagent. These alkaline -reagents impart strong~odors to the hair dyeing compositions and are unacceptable to many users.
A fourth disadvantage is that peroxide attacks and partly destroys the natural hair pigment. This weakens ~;
the hair and changes its feel and appearance~ -: ~, , : ,,, ~ For these reasons, many efforts have been undertaken ' i'~
~ in--the~art to avoid the problems connected with the use - of hydrogen peroYide. .
~' ~
.
~: . ' ~ L
It is, therefore, another object of the invention to ;~
provide a method to dye hair to a dark brown shade without using hydrogen peroxide.
Comparison with Prior art . . ~
As described above, US 2,934,3g6 teaches that dyeing with DHI requires two steps.
US 3,236,734 teaches dyeing with l-(alkylamino)-2,4-dihydroxy benzene and an oxidant in one or two steps.
Chlorites, but not sodium chlorite specifically, are mentioned among the oxidants said to be useful~, but according to~the teaching of this patent, all oxidants work equally well with the specified substrate, l-(alkylamino)-2,4-dihydroxy benzene. ~his is clearly not i`~
~- the case, when DHI is used, as will be demonstrated later in the examples (Example l). ;
Among the oxidants which are listed in US 3,236,734, only chlorite and peroxide impart a deep color to the hair ~DHI employed at equimolar concentration with the substrates, which are taught in the patent).
WO93/21898 ,~ 6 ~ PCT~US93/03630 It should be understood, that under the heading ~peroxide~, there might also be compounds, which produce peroxide after being dissolved in water; for exampl~, perborate, percarbonate, urea peroxide and the like.
As will be shown in the examples, at a given concentration of DHI and with equal dyeing time, sodium chlorite gives the darkest coloration on hair, and -provides the most economic use of the DHI.
,.j.
- US 3,194,734 teaches the use of a variety of oxidizing agents with DHI or with l-,2- or 3- methyl substituted DHI derivatives in alkaline media in a one- or two-step process to color hair. Sodium chlorite is not mentioned -in the patent. ~
: .
As will be seen in the examples (Example 3), among all the oxidants, which are listed in the patent, only peroxide gives useful results in a one-step dyeing process with DHI. Moreover, in order to obtain dark dyeings at a relatively low concentration of DHI, the ..
presence of a substantial amount of ammonia is required.
As stated above, this causes unacceptable odor problems.
W093/2~898 US 5,032,138 teaches dyeing with standard oxidation dyes (primary intermediates and couplers) in combination with chlorite. Melanin precursors are not included rn the patent.
US 2,944,869 teaches dyeing of hair with o-diphenols and an oxidant, selected from ammonium and alkali metal iodates, periodates or persulfates. However, these oxidants, when used in a one-step treatment with DHI, give only weak colors on hair, since most of the DHI is oxidized and polymerized in solution, before it can penetrate the hair.
The art has long sought a suitable oxidizing agent which ~can be employed without the problems discussed above. More æpecifically, the art has sought dye compositions which will produce melanin in hair and give the hair a desirable color, with lasting wear qualities, ;
in shorter periods of time, while avoiding the use of hydrogen peroxide and itæ resulting oxidative and . . .
bIeaching damage to the hair.

Oxidative hair dyeing compositions and methods for their use have now been discovered which avoid many of the problems of prior art compositions. These novel ;
compositions are characterized by the use of sodium chlorite as the oxidi~ing agent. The use of sodium chlorite, with 5,6-dihydroxyindoline, DHI or selected analogs, homologs or derivatives thereof, or with these compounds together with oxidizable primary intermediates ~`
and couplers, or together with DHICA or its lower alkyl ;~
esters, for example methyl to hexyl esters including ~-straight chain and branched chain alkyl esters has not been specifically taught or suggested by any of the above citations nor, so far as the inventors are aware, -;
by any other prior art.

aryl substituents are reaction inert substituents such as OH, NH2, alkyl, alkoxyl, or NO2. The most preferred compound is DHI.

For convenience, the invention will hereinafter be described principally with reference to DHI, but it should be remembered that the invention is applicable to .
all of the compounds within the scope of the above generic formula and their equivalents. The various ;
compounds may be used alone or in numerous mixtures, including mixtures with other oxidative dyes or with '~ f DHICA or its lower alkyl esters, to achieve ~ variety of shades and tonal qualities with hair fibers. -`:j It is most unexpected to find that this specific ~
oxidizing agent will accelerate the formation of -melanin, but not to such an extent that DHI is oxidized ~.
appreciably before it is distributed in the hair fiber.
It is equally surprising and unexpected to find that 15 sodium chlorite imparts a dark brown color of natural .`
- appearance to the hair at relatively low concentrations -~
~ of DHI and without the use of ammonia or other amines. .`

There are many advantages to the compositions and ;~
methods of the invention. These include: ~
l. Nelanin is formed in the hair, imparting a brown -color of natural appearance with relatively low `
concentrations of DHI. These low concentrations are possible, because none of the melanin, which was already ;0 present in the fiber, or is formed during dyeing, is destroyed. This results is cost savings for the ~
manufacturer as well as for the consumer. -. . .

to 4~ of sodium chlorite. It is generally preferred to employ lower concentrations of the oxidizing agent when -the concentration of DHI utilized is at the low end of the range. The pH is normally from about 7 to g, but some variation is acceptable. -All percent by weights defined in this disclosure and claims are percents by weight based on the total weight of the composition.

As stated above, the concentration of the DNI in the composition as applied to the hair is from about 0.1 to 2%. It was also noted above that DHI is rather unstable ~;
and subject to air oxidation. It is therefore normally packaged for commercial use in the form of DAI in a slightly alkaline solution, under conditions that `
substantially exclude air. On storage, under alkaline -conditions, the DAI hydrolyzes to form DHI. The `
molecular weight of DHI is about 60% lower than the molecular weight of DAI. Accordingly, the concentration ` i~
of DAI in the original package will be higher than the ~`;

There are two procedures for mixing which are normally ;
employed. One utilizes an aerosol package and valve adapted so that the compositions in the compartments~mix ~, as they pas~ through the valve. In the other, the partition between the compartments is frangible and the ~-', container is formed with a mechanism which permits the partition to be pierced, or otherw_se broken, 80 that the compositions mix prior to dispensing. Depending upon the design of the container, the resulting mixed -", composition can be dispensed under aerosol pressure, by simple pouring or by any other convenient method. `
, ~.
When such co-dispensing containers are emplo,yed with '`, hydrogen peroxide systems, there is always danger of 1~
premature mixing because of accidental leakage through ¦, : -, the partition. As a result the dye forming ~eaction, which is intended to take place in the open air takes l'~
place in a closed container thereby generating volumes !~
of oxygen which may result in explosive pressure. There is no such danger when the oxidative salts of this 20 ~ invention are emp}oyed since the dye forming reaction does not gener ~e oxygen.

COMPARISON OF SODIUM CHLORITE (ENTRY II) WITH OTHER OXIDANTS ;
This example was conducted to show the unexpected superiority of sodium chlorite as an oxidant compared with hydrogen peroxide or other~sources of peroxide, such as perborate.
Formulations were prepared, which contained DHI at a lower concentration than in Example l (DHI concentration ~ 0.5% after mixing with oxidant). This would be a preferred concentration for a commercial product, since `
DHI is an expensive raw material. The formulations X
contain different alkaline agents to adjust the pH to i the desired value. This is summarized in Table 3. `-.
Entries l - 5 demonstrate, that, in contrast to sodium chlorite, peroxide, or its substantial equivalent perborate are only efficient as oxidants at alkaline pH.
~!
Entries 8, 9 and l0 show, that the efficacy of peroxide `
is further increased, when ammonia is used as the alkalizing agent. '`

efficacy of sodium chlorite can be approached (but still ~,.

a After addition of oxidant.
With H2O2 (Table 4, Entry 1), the darkness of t~e h~ir is comparable to sodium chlorite (Table 3, Entry 6). However, the tonality is different.
: .
To obtain a dark dyeing as in Table 4, Entry 1 (with rel. low DHI
concentration and H2O2 as oxidant) the presence of a substantial -~ ~ amount of ammonia is required. Without ammonia at equal DHI-~- concentration,~ the dyeing is weaker (see Table~4, Entry 5).
TonalitY: An example of Hunter Tristimulus values of natural dark 10 ~ and~me~dium brown hair is the following:
- ~ L a b dark brown 16.0 1.8 2.6 ; med. brown 23.6 3.0 6.9 It;is apparent that at a darkness level of L at about 22, the b-~: _ 5~; value should~be more than twice the amount of the a-value. This is achieved with hair dyed with DHI/sodium chlorite (Table 4, Entry 6), but not with hair dyed with DHI/H2O2 at the conditions of Entry 1, - Table 4. Only the DHI/sodium chlorite dyed hair appears natural brown.

/y ~, A typical aqueous composition of the invention as applied to the hair may contain from about 0.1% to 3~, i preferably 0.3% to 1.5% DHI or DHI analog, homolog or derivative, and from about O.1~ to 5%, preferably 0.5~
to 4~ of sodium chlorite. It is generally preferred to employ lower concentrations of the oxidizing agent when -the concentration of DHI utilized is at the low end of the range. The pH is normally from about 7 to g, but some variation is acceptable. -All percent by weights defined in this disclosure and claims are percents by weight based on the total weight of the composition.
~.
As stated above, the concentration of the DNI in the composition as applied to the hair is from about 0.1 to 2%. It was also noted above that DHI is rather unstable ~;
and subject to air oxidation. It is therefore normally packaged for commercial use in the form of DAI in a slightly alkaline solution, under conditions that `
substantially exclude air. On storage, under alkaline -conditions, the DAI hydrolyzes to form DHI. The `
molecular weight of DHI is about 60% lower than the molecular weight of DAI. Accordingly, the concentration ` i~
of DAI in the original package will be higher than the ~`;

employed. One utilizes an aerosol package and valve adapted so that the compositions in the compartments~mix ~, as they pas~ through the valve. In the other, the partition between the compartments is frangible and the ~-', container is formed with a mechanism which permits the partition to be pierced, or otherw_se broken, 80 that the compositions mix prior to dispensing. Depending upon the design of the container, the resulting mixed -", composition can be dispensed under aerosol pressure, by simple pouring or by any other convenient method. `
, ~.
When such co-dispensing containers are emplo,yed with '`, hydrogen peroxide systems, there is always danger of 1~
premature mixing because of accidental leakage through ¦, : -, the partition. As a result the dye forming ~eaction, which is intended to take place in the open air takes l'~
place in a closed container thereby generating volumes !~
of oxygen which may result in explosive pressure. There is no such danger when the oxidative salts of this 20 ~ invention are emp}oyed since the dye forming reaction does not gener ~e oxygen.

COMPARISON OF SODIUM CHLORITE (ENTRY II) WITH OTHER OXIDANTS ;
This example was conducted to show the unexpected superiority of sodium chlorite as an oxidant compared with hydrogen peroxide or other~sources of peroxide, such as perborate.
Formulations were prepared, which contained DHI at a lower concentration than in Example l (DHI concentration ~ 0.5% after mixing with oxidant). This would be a preferred concentration for a commercial product, since `
DHI is an expensive raw material. The formulations X
contain different alkaline agents to adjust the pH to i the desired value. This is summarized in Table 3. `-.
Entries l - 5 demonstrate, that, in contrast to sodium chlorite, peroxide, or its substantial equivalent perborate are only efficient as oxidants at alkaline pH.
~!
Entries 8, 9 and l0 show, that the efficacy of peroxide `
is further increased, when ammonia is used as the alkalizing agent. '`

efficacy of sodium chlorite can be approached (but still ~,.
not matched) only at high pH and high ammonia .`
concentrations both of which are unacceptable because of the strong odor of ammonia and the likelihood of hair damag~ at the high pH. Only sodium chlorite imparts a deep brown color at low pH, without ammonia, from !,' solutions containing relatively low concentrations of -~

a After addition of oxidant.
With H2O2 (Table 4, Entry 1), the darkness of t~e h~ir is comparable to sodium chlorite (Table 3, Entry 6). However, the tonality is different.
: .
To obtain a dark dyeing as in Table 4, Entry 1 (with rel. low DHI
concentration and H2O2 as oxidant) the presence of a substantial -~ ~ amount of ammonia is required. Without ammonia at equal DHI-~- concentration,~ the dyeing is weaker (see Table~4, Entry 5).
TonalitY: An example of Hunter Tristimulus values of natural dark 10 ~ and~me~dium brown hair is the following:
- ~ L a b dark brown 16.0 1.8 2.6 ; med. brown 23.6 3.0 6.9 It;is apparent that at a darkness level of L at about 22, the b-~: _ 5~; value should~be more than twice the amount of the a-value. This is achieved with hair dyed with DHI/sodium chlorite (Table 4, Entry 6), but not with hair dyed with DHI/H2O2 at the conditions of Entry 1, - Table 4. Only the DHI/sodium chlorite dyed hair appears natural brown.
