Definitions

  • Hair treatment process comprising the application of a composition comprising cationic polymers and organosilanes, followed by a washing step
  • the present invention relates to a process for the cosmetic treatment of the hair, consisting in sequentially applying a cosmetic pre-shampoo composition comprising one or more cationic polymers and one or more organosilanes, and a cosmetic washing composition comprising one or more anionic surfactants.
  • Hair may be damaged or embrittled by the action of external atmospheric agents such as light and bad weather, or by mechanical or chemical treatments, such as brushing, combing, dyeing, bleaching, permanent-waving and/or relaxing.
  • mechanical or chemical treatments such as brushing, combing, dyeing, bleaching, permanent-waving and/or relaxing.
  • haircare compositions may be conditioning shampoos or hair conditioners, which may be in the form of hair gels or lotions or more or less thick creams.
  • conditioning agents which are intended mainly to repair or limit the harmful or undesirable effects brought about by the various treatments or attacking factors to which hair fibres are more or less repeatedly subjected.
  • organosilanes in cosmetic care compositions, to give hair satisfactory conditioning properties.
  • Such compositions are described, for example, in patent applications FR 2910276, EP 2343042 and EP 2111848.
  • care compositions described in these documents afford conditioning and disentangling properties that are not sufficiently long-lasting. Specifically, these properties generally do not sufficiently resist washing and tend to diminish from the first shampoo wash. In other words, even though these haircare compositions make it possible to obtain suitable results during and just after their use (at TO), it was found that these effects had a tendency to disappear gradually with hair washes; it was thus necessary to regularly renew the application of hair treatments to maintain adequate conditioning effects.
  • Application WO 2016/083578 has therefore proposed a hair composition for caring for the hair, capable of affording conditioning properties that are not only satisfactory, but also persistent with respect to washing, for example persistent at least after three shampoo washes.
  • This care composition comprises the combination of organosilanes, cationic polymers of high charge density and cationic surfactants; it can confer on the hair a cosmetic care treatment that is persistent with respect to shampoo washes, in particular softness, suppleness, smoothness, lightness, volume, and a non-greasy, non-laden natural feel.
  • This composition also provides hair with improved disentangling ability. These properties show good resistance to the various attacking factors to which hair may be subjected, such as light, bad weather, washing and perspiration. They are particularly persistent with respect to shampoo washing, especially after at least three shampoo washes.
  • a hair treatment process comprising the sequential application of a composition comprising organosilanes and of a composition for caring for or washing the hair has also been proposed, for example by EP 2 111 849.
  • This document describes in particular the use of a composition comprising an organosilane as a pre-shampoo, that is to say applied to the hair before washing with a shampoo comprising at least one anionic surfactant and an amphoteric surfactant. This process makes it possible in particular to obtain supple, smooth hair which disentangles well.
  • pre shampoo compositions notably in terms of providing strength (denser, more rigid hair), while at the same time retaining a certain lightness thereof (tonic and tangle- free hair) and also in terms of cosmetic properties such as disentangling and smooth feel; this being immediately, at the time of application of the composition to the hair (at TO), but also persistently, that is to say after several shampoo washes, for example persistence after 2 to 4 shampoo washes.
  • the process according to the invention makes it possible to improve the use qualities of the shampoo used, notably in terms of foam qualities and abundance. Moreover, the hair is much more supple during rinsing.
  • the strand separation of the hair is better and the hair has more body and is more disentangled and fluid, with a smoother visual appearance, and a provision of force.
  • a subject of the present invention is thus a hair treatment process comprising:
  • step (i) of applying to the hair a cosmetic care composition comprising one or more cationic polymers and at least 6% by weight of one or more organosilanes,
  • a step (ii) of washing said hair comprising the application of a cosmetic washing composition comprising one or more anionic surfactants, said step (ii) of washing the hair being carried out at most 60 minutes after said step
  • the process according to the invention makes it possible to give the hair strength and resistance, thus resulting notably in reducing breaking of the hair during subsequent blow drying operations and/or in reducing the presence of split ends of the hair. Moreover, the cosmetic properties such as disentangling and smooth feel (uniform feel from the root to the end) are improved.
  • the process according to the invention allows a reduction in split ends at TO and up to after that 4 applications of a shampoo + mask routine without having to reapply the pre-shampoo beforehand.
  • the hair treatment process according to the invention thus comprises a step (i) that consists in applying to the hair a cosmetic care composition, or pre-shampoo, as defined below.
  • This step may or may not be followed by a leave-on step, for example a leave-on time of from 1 to 15 minutes, in particular 2 to 5 minutes.
  • step (i) may also be optionally followed by a rinsing step, for example rinsing with water, before carrying out step (ii).
  • a rinsing step for example rinsing with water
  • step (i) is followed by a rinsing step.
  • the process according to the invention comprises an intermediate rinsing step between steps (i) and (ii).
  • the hair treatment process according to the invention also comprises a washing step (ii) that consists in applying to the hair a cosmetic washing composition as defined below.
  • This step may or may not be followed by a leave-on step, for example a leave-on time of from 1 to 15 minutes, in particular 2 to 5 minutes. It can also be optionally followed by a rinsing step, for example rinsing with water; and/or by a drying step. Preferably, said washing step (ii) is followed by a rinsing step and optionally by a drying step.
  • step of applying (i) the care composition and the washing step (ii) are carried out successively, or sequentially, which means that one of the application steps is prior to the other application step; it being possible for intermediate steps, for example leave-on and/or rinsing and/or drying steps, to be present between these two steps.
  • the applying step (i) is carried out before the washing step (ii).
  • the time separating said step (i) of applying the care composition (or pre-shampoo) and the step (ii) of washing the hair is at most 60 minutes; it may for example be between 30 seconds and 60 minutes, notably between 1 and 30 minutes, or even between 2 and 20 minutes, even better still between 3 and 15 minutes, and most particularly between 4 and 10 minutes.

Description

DESCRIPTION
Hair treatment process comprising the application of a composition comprising cationic polymers and organosilanes, followed by a washing step
The present invention relates to a process for the cosmetic treatment of the hair, consisting in sequentially applying a cosmetic pre-shampoo composition comprising one or more cationic polymers and one or more organosilanes, and a cosmetic washing composition comprising one or more anionic surfactants.
Hair may be damaged or embrittled by the action of external atmospheric agents such as light and bad weather, or by mechanical or chemical treatments, such as brushing, combing, dyeing, bleaching, permanent-waving and/or relaxing. To overcome these drawbacks, it is common practice to make use of hair treatments which can condition the hair. These haircare compositions may be conditioning shampoos or hair conditioners, which may be in the form of hair gels or lotions or more or less thick creams.
To improve the cosmetic properties of these compositions, it is known practice to introduce therein conditioning agents, which are intended mainly to repair or limit the harmful or undesirable effects brought about by the various treatments or attacking factors to which hair fibres are more or less repeatedly subjected.
With this aim, it has already been proposed to use, inter alia, organosilanes in cosmetic care compositions, to give hair satisfactory conditioning properties. Such compositions are described, for example, in patent applications FR 2910276, EP 2343042 and EP 2111848.
However, the care compositions described in these documents afford conditioning and disentangling properties that are not sufficiently long-lasting. Specifically, these properties generally do not sufficiently resist washing and tend to diminish from the first shampoo wash. In other words, even though these haircare compositions make it possible to obtain suitable results during and just after their use (at TO), it was found that these effects had a tendency to disappear gradually with hair washes; it was thus necessary to regularly renew the application of hair treatments to maintain adequate conditioning effects.
Application WO 2016/083578 has therefore proposed a hair composition for caring for the hair, capable of affording conditioning properties that are not only satisfactory, but also persistent with respect to washing, for example persistent at least after three shampoo washes. This care composition comprises the combination of organosilanes, cationic polymers of high charge density and cationic surfactants; it can confer on the hair a cosmetic care treatment that is persistent with respect to shampoo washes, in particular softness, suppleness, smoothness, lightness, volume, and a non-greasy, non-laden natural feel. This composition also provides hair with improved disentangling ability. These properties show good resistance to the various attacking factors to which hair may be subjected, such as light, bad weather, washing and perspiration. They are particularly persistent with respect to shampoo washing, especially after at least three shampoo washes.
A hair treatment process comprising the sequential application of a composition comprising organosilanes and of a composition for caring for or washing the hair has also been proposed, for example by EP 2 111 849. This document describes in particular the use of a composition comprising an organosilane as a pre-shampoo, that is to say applied to the hair before washing with a shampoo comprising at least one anionic surfactant and an amphoteric surfactant. This process makes it possible in particular to obtain supple, smooth hair which disentangles well.
However, it is still possible to improve the performance results provided by pre shampoo compositions, notably in terms of providing strength (denser, more rigid hair), while at the same time retaining a certain lightness thereof (tonic and tangle- free hair) and also in terms of cosmetic properties such as disentangling and smooth feel; this being immediately, at the time of application of the composition to the hair (at TO), but also persistently, that is to say after several shampoo washes, for example persistence after 2 to 4 shampoo washes.
The process according to the invention makes it possible to improve the use qualities of the shampoo used, notably in terms of foam qualities and abundance. Moreover, the hair is much more supple during rinsing.
At the end of the process according to the invention, the performance results in terms of tonicity, disentanglement and density are improved on wet hair. Faster drying is moreover observed.
After drying, the strand separation of the hair is better and the hair has more body and is more disentangled and fluid, with a smoother visual appearance, and a provision of force.
Furthermore, the performance results in terms of coating of the hair, density, manageability and strength are persistent with respect to subsequent shampoo washing, and up to 3 shampoo washes, without having to reapply the pre-shampoo.
A subject of the present invention is thus a hair treatment process comprising:
- a step (i) of applying to the hair a cosmetic care composition comprising one or more cationic polymers and at least 6% by weight of one or more organosilanes,
- then a step (ii) of washing said hair, comprising the application of a cosmetic washing composition comprising one or more anionic surfactants, said step (ii) of washing the hair being carried out at most 60 minutes after said step
(i).
The process according to the invention makes it possible to give the hair strength and resistance, thus resulting notably in reducing breaking of the hair during subsequent blow drying operations and/or in reducing the presence of split ends of the hair. Moreover, the cosmetic properties such as disentangling and smooth feel (uniform feel from the root to the end) are improved.
The process according to the invention allows a reduction in split ends at TO and up to after that 4 applications of a shampoo + mask routine without having to reapply the pre-shampoo beforehand.
The hair treatment process according to the invention thus comprises a step (i) that consists in applying to the hair a cosmetic care composition, or pre-shampoo, as defined below.
This step may or may not be followed by a leave-on step, for example a leave-on time of from 1 to 15 minutes, in particular 2 to 5 minutes.
This step may also be optionally followed by a rinsing step, for example rinsing with water, before carrying out step (ii). Preferably, said step (i) is followed by a rinsing step. Thus, preferably, the process according to the invention comprises an intermediate rinsing step between steps (i) and (ii).
The hair treatment process according to the invention also comprises a washing step (ii) that consists in applying to the hair a cosmetic washing composition as defined below.
This step may or may not be followed by a leave-on step, for example a leave-on time of from 1 to 15 minutes, in particular 2 to 5 minutes. It can also be optionally followed by a rinsing step, for example rinsing with water; and/or by a drying step. Preferably, said washing step (ii) is followed by a rinsing step and optionally by a drying step.
The step of applying (i) the care composition and the washing step (ii) are carried out successively, or sequentially, which means that one of the application steps is prior to the other application step; it being possible for intermediate steps, for example leave-on and/or rinsing and/or drying steps, to be present between these two steps.
The applying step (i) is carried out before the washing step (ii).
The time separating said step (i) of applying the care composition (or pre-shampoo) and the step (ii) of washing the hair is at most 60 minutes; it may for example be between 30 seconds and 60 minutes, notably between 1 and 30 minutes, or even between 2 and 20 minutes, even better still between 3 and 15 minutes, and most particularly between 4 and 10 minutes.

The term "cationic polymer" is intended to mean any nonsilicone polymer (polymer not comprising any silicon atoms) containing cationic groups and/or groups that can be ionized into cationic groups and not containing any anionic groups and/or groups that can be ionized into anionic groups.
The cationic polymers that can be used preferably have a cationic charge density greater than or equal to 4 milliequivalents/gram (meq/g), better still greater than or equal to 5 meq/g, or even ranging from 5 to 20 meq/g.
The cationic charge density of a polymer corresponds to the number of moles of cationic charges per unit mass of polymer under conditions in which it is totally ionized. It may be determined by calculation if the structure of the polymer is known, i.e. the structure of the monomers constituting the polymer and their molar proportion or weight proportion. It may also be determined experimentally by the Kjeldahl method.
The cationic polymers that may be used preferably have a weight-average molar mass (Mw) of between 500 and 5x106 approximately and preferably between 103 and 3x106 approximately.
The cationic polymers that can be used may be associative or non-associative.
The term "associative polymer" refers to an amphiphilic polymer that is capable, in an aqueous medium, of reversibly combining with itself or with other molecules. It generally includes, in its chemical structure, at least one hydrophilic region or group and at least one hydrophobic region or group. In particular, the hydrophobic group may be a fatty hydrocarbon-based chain such as a linear or branched alkyl, linear or branched arylalkyl or linear or branched alkylaryl group comprising at least 8 carbon atoms, preferably 8 to 30 carbon atoms, better still from 12 to 24 carbon atoms.

The cationic associative polyurethanes of formula (la) according to the invention are formed from diisocyanates and from various compounds bearing functions containing labile hydrogen. The functions containing labile hydrogen may be alcohol, primary or secondary amine or thiol functions, giving, after reaction with the diisocyanate functions, polyurethanes, polyureas and polythioureas, respectively. In the present invention, the term “polyurethanes” encompasses these three types of polymer, namely polyurethanes per se, polyureas and polythioureas, and also copolymers thereof.
A first type of compound involved in the preparation of the polyurethane of formula (la) is a compound comprising at least one unit bearing an amine function. This compound may be multifunctional, but the compound is preferentially difunctional, that is to say that, according to a preferential embodiment, this compound includes two labile hydrogen atoms borne, for example, by a hydroxyl, primary amine, secondary amine or thiol function. A mixture of multifunctional and difunctional compounds in which the percentage of multifunctional compounds is low may also be used.
As mentioned above, this compound may include more than one unit containing an amine function. In this case, it is a polymer bearing a repetition of the unit containing an amine function.

This compound is formed from a hydrophobic group and a function containing a labile hydrogen, for example a hydroxyl, primary or secondary amine, or thiol function.
By way of example, this compound may be a fatty alcohol such as stearyl alcohol, dodecyl alcohol or decyl alcohol. When this compound includes a polymeric chain, it may be, for example, a-hydroxylated hydrogenated polybutadiene.
The hydrophobic group of the polyurethane of formula (la) may also result from the quaternization reaction of the tertiary amine of the compound comprising at least one tertiary amine unit. Thus, the hydrophobic group is introduced via the quaternizing agent. This quaternizing agent is a compound of the type RQ or R'Q, in which R and R' are as defined above and Q denotes a leaving group such as a halide, a sulfate, etc.
The cationic associative polyurethane may also comprise a hydrophilic block. This block is provided by a fourth type of compound involved in the preparation of the polymer. This compound may be multifunctional. It is preferably difunctional. It is also possible to have a mixture in which the percentage of multifunctional compound is low.
The functions containing labile hydrogen are alcohol, primary or secondary amine or thiol functions. This compound may be a polymer terminated at the chain ends with one of these functions containing labile hydrogen.
By way of example, when it is not a polymer, mention may be made of ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol and propylene glycol.
When it is a hydrophilic polymer, mention may be made, for example, of polyethers, sulfonated polyesters and sulfonated polyamides, or a mixture of these polymers. The hydrophilic compound is preferentially a polyether and in particular a polyethylene oxide) or polypropylene oxide).
The hydrophilic group termed Y in formula (la) is optional. Specifically, the units containing a quaternary or protonated amine function may suffice to provide the solubility or water-dispersibility required for this type of polymer in an aqueous solution.
Although the presence of a hydrophilic group Y is optional, cationic associative polyurethanes comprising such a group are, however, preferred.

The present invention is illustrated in greater detail in the examples that follow (AM = active material).
Example 1 The following pre-shampoo compositions according to the invention are prepared (% by weight of active material):
[Table 1]
Figure imgf000039_0001
The pre-shampoo composition C is applied to half a head, on wet and dirty hair (medium-long to long hair), in a proportion of 10 g per half head. It is left on for 3 minutes and then rinsed off with water.
A commercial shampoo (comprising in particular 17 g% of sodium lauryl ether sulfate and 3 g% of cocobetaine) is then applied in a proportion of 16 g per head, and is then rinsed off with water.
A commercial hair mask (comprising notably cationic surfactants, solid fatty substances and an amino silicone) is applied, in a proportion of 10 g per half head, to the half head which has not received pre-shampoo C, it is left on for 5 minutes and is then rinsed off with water. The hair is then dried with a hairdryer.
Observations at TO:
- the application of the pre-shampoo makes it possible to obtain a foam that is much more abundant, and hair that is much more supple during rinsing and smoother in the foam;
- on wet hair (before drying): the hair treated according to the invention is much more tonic; it is stronger, more rigid (resistant to deformation when seeking to bend it); a feeling of having more material is noted (provision of density); faster drying is also noted;
- on dried hair: the hair treated according to the invention is visually smoother. The provision of strength persists (hair more rigid with provision of density and of body). It is thus noted that the invention makes it possible to provide strength along with lightness, at TO.
Observations after 3 shampoo washes (persistence):
After 3 shampoo washes, it is noted that the provision of strength persists on wet hair and on dry hair: the hair is more coated (coating of glidance and covering type). After drying, the dried hair is much more dense (feeling of having a large amount of hair in the hands) and has been given more body (more rigid).
Example 2
The following pre-shampoo composition according to the invention is prepared (% by weight of active material):
[Table 2]
Figure imgf000040_0001
Locks of natural hair weighing 2.7 g and measuring 25 cm are pre-damaged by automated repeated brushing so as to generate split ends. The number of split ends per 100 strands of hair is counted for each lock.
One of the following protocols is then carried out on the pre-damaged locks.
- Protocol 1 (control): application of a DOP standard shampoo (0.4 g per gram of lock), rinsing and drying.
- Protocol 2: application of a commercial shampoo X (sodium laureth sulfate, CAPB, cationic polymer, amino silicone, etc.) (0.4 g per gram of lock), rinsing and drying.
- Protocol 3: application of the commercial shampoo X (0.4 g per gram of lock), rinsing; followed by the application of a standard mask Y (fatty alcohol, cationic surfactant, amino silicone, etc.) (0.4 g per gram of lock), leave-on time of 3 minutes, rinsing and drying.
- Protocol 4: application of the pre-shampoo D (0.4 g per gram of lock), leave-on time of 5 minutes then rinsing; followed by application of the commercial shampoo X (0.4 g per gram of lock) then rinsing; followed by application of the standard mask Y (0.4 g per gram of lock), leave-on time of 3 minutes then rinsing and drying.
At the end of the protocols, the number of split ends per 100 strands of hair is again counted.
The % reduction in split ends (RF) relative to protocol 1 is then calculated using the following equation:
RF = 100 X (Number of split ends Protocol 1 - Number of split ends Protocol X)/Number of split ends Protocol 1
The following results are obtained: [Table 3]
Figure imgf000041_0001
It is noted that the process according to the invention makes it possible to reduce the number of split ends by 66% compared to a standard shampoo. It also makes it possible to reduce the number of split ends compared to protocols 2 and 3.
Example 3
The following pre-shampoo composition E according to the invention and comparative pre-shampoo composition E’ are prepared (% by weight of active material):
[Table 4]
Figure imgf000041_0002
Protocol: with pre-shampoo
The pre-shampoo composition E is applied to one half of a head, and the pre shampoo composition E’ is applied to the other half, on wet and dirty hair (medium- long to long hair), in a proportion of 10 g per half head. They are left on for 3 minutes and then rinsed off with water.
A commercial shampoo (comprising notably 17 g% of sodium lauryl ether sulfate and 3 g% of cocobetaine) is then applied to the whole of the head, in a proportion of 16 g per head, and is then rinsed off with water.
Results
The performance results in terms of “smooth feel” and “provision of volume” were evaluated by 6 experts, on dry hair, in a blind test.
Each of the 6 experts declared which half head presented the best “smooth feel” and the best “provision of volume” according to the following scale: for the side with the worst performance results “=” in the event of equality “+” for the side with the best performance results
In order to evaluate the “smooth feel” nature, the expert takes a lock between the thumb and index finger and slides the fingers along the lock from the upper part to the ends. The expert evaluates whether the hair exhibits rough patches, whether it catches the figures, and whether it feels uniform.
The provision of volume (or density) is evaluated by touch: the expert takes hold of a lock in the hand, and evaluates, from the root to the end, the feeling of how much hair is between the fingers.
The results obtained are given below:
[Table 5]
Figure imgf000042_0001
All of the experts (6 out of 6) judged that composition E according to the invention provided a smoother feel than comparative composition E’. [Table 6]
Figure imgf000043_0001
All of the experts (6 out of 6) judged that composition E according to the invention provided greater volume than comparative composition E’.
