Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for treating keratin fibres, especially human keratin fibres such as the hair, employing i) a step of applying at least one crosslinking agent which contains at least one (thio)carbonyl group and ii) a step of straightening/relaxing by means of a steam iron, in particular a steam straightening iron, in particular, i) is applied first then secondly ii) the steam straightening iron is applied without an intermediate step of rinsing, especially in water.
- compositions which make it possible to introduce a temporary change to their head of hair, while targeting good shape retention of the effect produced.
- Heat treatments are generally used to modify the shape of the head of hair in a long-lasting manner. These treatments allow a visual modification of the appearance of the hairstyle, combining a decrease in the degree of frizziness, a reduction in overall volume of the head of hair, a decrease in little curls, a gain in manageability, a straighter overall appearance, a substantial gain in sheen, and a resistance to humidity and to heat in order to maintain the hairstyle throughout the day.
- this type of treatment has the advantage of facilitating the daily maintenance of the head of hair, with the use of fewer care products, in particular rinse- out care products such as conditioners or masks, or leave-in care products such as sera, care creams or balms, or taming mousses. Drying of the hair is facilitated, with a much shortened blow-drying time and a decrease in the daily use of flat tongs, in terms both of time and intensity. This thus makes it possible to limit the risks of damaging the hair through combined factors of mechanical and thermal stress.
- a first technique is based on the use of compositions based on thiol-based reducing agents. These techniques require strict adherence to the application conditions recommended by the suppliers, in particular in terms of amounts and leave-in time. In addition, they may be contraindicated on hair that is too sensitised and may not be compatible with the same- day application of other treatments, such as dyeing or bleaching operations. Moreover, they smell unpleasant.
- compositions based on formol (or formaldehyde) and derivatives thereof are based on the use of compositions based on formol (or formaldehyde) and derivatives thereof.
- These treatments have the particularity of being robust, perfectly compatible with all the other conventional hair treatments, such as the thiol-based straightening operations previously mentioned, alkaline relaxing operations, dyeing or bleaching operations of all types, carried out before or after. They provide the hair with excellent manageability, a very bright sheen and easy daily care.
- the "serpentine" movement of the hair is also characteristic of these treatments.
- further damage to the hair occurs, which can lead to breaking of the hairs.
- the use of some of these compounds is now prohibited and/or regulated. It is therefore increasingly sought to avoid the use of such substances, which may prove to be aggressive to the hair and other keratin materials.
- Patent application WO 201 1/104282 thus proposed a novel process for semi-permanently straightening the hair, which consists in applying an alpha-keto acid or a-keto acid solution to the hair for 15 to 120 minutes, then drying and, finally, straightening the head of hair with an iron at a temperature of approximately 200°C.
- the a-keto acid used is preferably glyoxylic acid.
- glyoxylic acid may not be well tolerated, in particular when the scalp is sensitive and/or irritated. Its volatility, amplified by the use of heat from the iron, can also be a problem. Furthermore, the compositions of the prior art may adversely affect the hair and/or adversely affect its colour.
- Treatments using a composition comprising a base combined with a heat treatment have also been proposed for straightening the hair. Such treatments make it possible to obtain good relaxing of curls, but can lead to modifications of the hair fibre.
- Document EP 1837010 especially describes a straightening/relaxing process using a composition comprising sodium hydroxide and a heat treatment.
- Document WO 2007/144707 describes a straightening/relaxing process using a composition comprising a non-hydroxylated base such as monoethanolamine (MEA) or ethylenediamine, combined with a heat treatment.
- Document WO 2009/1 17344 also describes a straightening/relaxing process using a composition comprising a non- hydroxylated base and a protein-denaturing agent, combined with a heat treatment.
- compositions comprising weak acids at alkaline pH, combined with a heat treatment.
- Document WO 2010/049434 describes, for example, a straightening/relaxing process in which a composition comprising a dicarboxylic acid, such as maleic acid, and heat treatment are applied.
- This (these) technical problem(s) has (have) been solved by a process for treating keratin fibres, especially human keratin fibres such as the hair, employing: i) a step of applying at least one crosslinking agent which contains at least one (thio)carbonyl group; and ii) a step of straightening/relaxing by means of a steam iron, in particular a steam straightening iron at a temperature of greater than or equal to 100°C;
- i) is applied first then secondly ii) the steam straightening iron is applied without an intermediate step of rinsing, especially in water.
- the process of the invention makes it possible in particular to obtain good long- lasting relaxation of curls, while limiting the degradation of the keratin fibres. Moreover, this process makes it possible to obtain shiny, manageable keratin fibres, with a very pleasant feel or even repair of the keratin fibres.
- the "serpentine" movement of the keratin fibres following treatment with the process of the invention is characteristic of Brazilian hair straightening processes, without employing products such as formol.
- the process of the invention enables a significant reduction in the volume of the keratin fibres following treatment, straightening and relaxing.

Description
PROCESS FOR TREATING KERATIN FIBRES WITH A COMPOSITION COMPRISING A CROSSLINKING AGENT AND A STEAM IRON
The present invention relates to a process for treating keratin fibres, especially human keratin fibres such as the hair, employing i) a step of applying at least one crosslinking agent which contains at least one (thio)carbonyl group and ii) a step of straightening/relaxing by means of a steam iron, in particular a steam straightening iron, in particular, i) is applied first then secondly ii) the steam straightening iron is applied without an intermediate step of rinsing, especially in water.
In the hair field, consumers wish to have available compositions which make it possible to introduce a temporary change to their head of hair, while targeting good shape retention of the effect produced. In general, it is desired for the change to withstand shampooing for at least fifteen days or even more, depending on the nature of said change.
Heat treatments are generally used to modify the shape of the head of hair in a long-lasting manner. These treatments allow a visual modification of the appearance of the hairstyle, combining a decrease in the degree of frizziness, a reduction in overall volume of the head of hair, a decrease in little curls, a gain in manageability, a straighter overall appearance, a substantial gain in sheen, and a resistance to humidity and to heat in order to maintain the hairstyle throughout the day.
Moreover, this type of treatment has the advantage of facilitating the daily maintenance of the head of hair, with the use of fewer care products, in particular rinse- out care products such as conditioners or masks, or leave-in care products such as sera, care creams or balms, or taming mousses. Drying of the hair is facilitated, with a much shortened blow-drying time and a decrease in the daily use of flat tongs, in terms both of time and intensity. This thus makes it possible to limit the risks of damaging the hair through combined factors of mechanical and thermal stress.
Several techniques are combined with these heat treatments. A first technique is based on the use of compositions based on thiol-based reducing agents. These techniques require strict adherence to the application conditions recommended by the suppliers, in particular in terms of amounts and leave-in time. In addition, they may be contraindicated on hair that is too sensitised and may not be compatible with the same- day application of other treatments, such as dyeing or bleaching operations. Moreover, they smell unpleasant.
Another technique is based on the use of compositions based on formol (or formaldehyde) and derivatives thereof. These treatments have the particularity of being robust, perfectly compatible with all the other conventional hair treatments, such as the thiol-based straightening operations previously mentioned, alkaline relaxing operations, dyeing or bleaching operations of all types, carried out before or after. They provide the hair with excellent manageability, a very bright sheen and easy daily care. The "serpentine" movement of the hair is also characteristic of these treatments. However,
in the event of repeated applications, further damage to the hair occurs, which can lead to breaking of the hairs. Furthermore, for toxicological reasons, the use of some of these compounds is now prohibited and/or regulated. It is therefore increasingly sought to avoid the use of such substances, which may prove to be aggressive to the hair and other keratin materials.
Another technique is based on the use of compositions based on acids, and quite particularly on the use of glyoxylic acid. Patent application WO 201 1/104282 thus proposed a novel process for semi-permanently straightening the hair, which consists in applying an alpha-keto acid or a-keto acid solution to the hair for 15 to 120 minutes, then drying and, finally, straightening the head of hair with an iron at a temperature of approximately 200°C. The a-keto acid used is preferably glyoxylic acid.
However, it has been noted that glyoxylic acid may not be well tolerated, in particular when the scalp is sensitive and/or irritated. Its volatility, amplified by the use of heat from the iron, can also be a problem. Furthermore, the compositions of the prior art may adversely affect the hair and/or adversely affect its colour.
Treatments using a composition comprising a base combined with a heat treatment have also been proposed for straightening the hair. Such treatments make it possible to obtain good relaxing of curls, but can lead to modifications of the hair fibre. Document EP 1837010 especially describes a straightening/relaxing process using a composition comprising sodium hydroxide and a heat treatment. Document WO 2007/144707 describes a straightening/relaxing process using a composition comprising a non-hydroxylated base such as monoethanolamine (MEA) or ethylenediamine, combined with a heat treatment. Document WO 2009/1 17344 also describes a straightening/relaxing process using a composition comprising a non- hydroxylated base and a protein-denaturing agent, combined with a heat treatment.
In order to limit hair fibre modifications, it has also been proposed to use compositions comprising weak acids at alkaline pH, combined with a heat treatment. Document WO 2010/049434 describes, for example, a straightening/relaxing process in which a composition comprising a dicarboxylic acid, such as maleic acid, and heat treatment are applied.
There is still a need to develop a process for treating the hair, especially a straightening/relaxing process which makes it possible to straighten/relax and/or reduce the frizziness of the hair in an effective and long-lasting manner while limiting the degradation of the hair. A process is especially sought which makes it possible to achieve good relaxation of curls, which if possible is long lasting.
This (these) technical problem(s) has (have) been solved by a process for treating keratin fibres, especially human keratin fibres such as the hair, employing: i) a step of applying at least one crosslinking agent which contains at least one (thio)carbonyl group; and
ii) a step of straightening/relaxing by means of a steam iron, in particular a steam straightening iron at a temperature of greater than or equal to 100°C;
in particular, i) is applied first then secondly ii) the steam straightening iron is applied without an intermediate step of rinsing, especially in water.
The process of the invention makes it possible in particular to obtain good long- lasting relaxation of curls, while limiting the degradation of the keratin fibres. Moreover, this process makes it possible to obtain shiny, manageable keratin fibres, with a very pleasant feel or even repair of the keratin fibres. The "serpentine" movement of the keratin fibres following treatment with the process of the invention is characteristic of Brazilian hair straightening processes, without employing products such as formol. In addition, the process of the invention enables a significant reduction in the volume of the keratin fibres following treatment, straightening and relaxing.

The (thio)carbonyl group(s)-containing crosslinking agent(s) as defined above may be applied to dry or wet hair, preferably to dry hair.
The bath ratio of the composition applied which comprises the (thio)carbonyl group(s)-containing crosslinking agent(s) as defined above may vary from 0.1 to 10, more particularly from 0.2 to 5, and preferably between 0.5 and 3. The term "bath ratio" is intended to mean the ratio between the total weight of the applied composition and the total weight of keratin fibres to be treated. ii) Steam iron step
The process for treating keratin fibres according to the invention comprises a step of straightening/relaxing the keratin fibres with a steam iron, i.e. an "iron" which comprises a device which emits steam and which applies this steam before, during or after the straightening/relaxing, preferably before the step of straightening/relaxing and more preferentially just before the step of straightening/relaxing (0.5 to 10 seconds before).
For the purposes of the present invention, the term "iron" is intended to mean a device for heating keratin fibres by placing said fibres and the heating device in contact
with one another. The end of the iron which comes into contact with the keratin fibres generally has two flat surfaces. These two surfaces may be made of metal or ceramic. In particular, these two surfaces may be smooth or crimped or curved.
According to a particular embodiment, the iron of the steam iron is at a temperature of between 65°C and 250°C, particularly between 80°C and 230°C, more particularly greater than or equal to 100°C and preferentially between 100°C and 190°C. Preferably, step ii) of the process for treating keratin fibres is carried out at a temperature ranging from 150°C to 220°C, preferably ranging from 160°C to 220°C, preferentially ranging from 160°C to 210°C, especially ranging from 180°C to 200°C.
As examples of irons that may be used in the straightening process according to the invention, mention may be made of any type of steam flat iron, and in particular, nonlimitingly, those described in patents US 5 957 140 and US 5 046 516.
The steam iron may be applied by successive separate strokes lasting a few seconds or by gradual movement or sliding along the tresses of keratin fibres, especially of hair.
Preferably, the steam iron is applied in the process according to the invention with a continuous movement from the root to the tip of the hair, in one or more passes, in particular in two to twenty passes. The duration of each pass of the steam iron may range from 2 seconds to 1 minute.
Advantageously, steam is applied to keratin fibres, especially the hair, according to a flow rate of less than 5 g/min, especially of between 1 and 4 g/min.
Steam may be applied using any device known per se for generating the amount of steam of use in the process of the invention. According to a particular embodiment, this device is portable, that is to say that the tank which makes it possible to generate the steam is in contact with the part of the device comprising the orifices for dispensing the steam.
The step of application of the steam may be carried out before, during or after the heating step, and preferably before and more preferentially just before the step of straightening/relaxing (0.5 to 10 seconds before).
Preferably, the step of straightening/relaxing the keratin fibres is carried out for a time that may range from 2 seconds to 30 minutes, and preferentially from 2 seconds to 20 minutes, better still from 2 seconds to 10 minutes, better still from 2 seconds to 5 minutes and even better still from 2 seconds to 2 minutes.
Preferably, step ii) is carried out with a steam straightener device.
The process according to the invention may also comprise an additional step of drying the keratin fibres, after step i) and before step ii). The drying step may be carried out by means of a hairdryer, a hood or else natural drying. The drying step is advantageously carried out at a temperature ranging from 20 to 70°C.
After the step of straightening/relaxing using the steam iron, the keratin fibres may be optionally rinsed with water or washed with a shampoo. The keratin fibres are then optionally dried using a hairdryer or a hood or in the open air.
According to one embodiment, the process according to the invention is carried out on natural keratin fibres, especially natural hair.
According to another embodiment, the process according to the invention is carried out on damaged keratin fibres, especially damaged hair. The term "damaged hair" is intended to mean dry or coarse or brittle or split or limp hair.
The treatment process according to the invention is particularly carried out on sensitized human keratin fibres, especially hair, such as bleached, relaxed or permanent-waved fibres.
The process according to the invention may be carried out on keratin fibres, especially hair, which is dry or wet. Preferentially, the process is carried out on natural keratin fibres.
After step i) of the process of the invention, and before carrying out step ii), it is possible to leave the crosslinking agent(s) which contain(s) at least one (thio)carbonyl group or the composition containing it(them) applied for a duration ranging from 1 to 60 minutes, preferably ranging from 2 to 50 minutes and preferentially ranging from 5 to 45 minutes. The leave-in time may take place at a temperature ranging from 15°C to 45°C, preferably at room temperature (25°C).
The cosmetic composition which contains at least one crosslinking agent which comprises at least one (thio)carbonyl group as described above is advantageously applied to the keratin fibres in an amount ranging from 0.1 to 10 grams, preferably from 0.2 to 5 grams of composition per gram of keratin fibres.
After application of the cosmetic composition containing at least one crosslinking agent which contains at least one (thio)carbonyl group to the keratin fibres, the latter may be wrung out to remove the excess composition or else washed with water or with a shampoo.
The treatment process according to the invention may be carried out before, during and/or after an additional process of cosmetic treatment of the keratin fibres, such as a process for temporarily shaping (shaping with curlers, a crimping iron or a straightening iron) or a process for durably shaping (permanent-waving or relaxing) the keratin fibres.
The examples that follow are given as illustrations of the present invention.
The amounts indicated in the examples are expressed as percentage by weight. a). Protocol for preparing the compositions of the process of the invention:
Malic acid 17, lyxose 19, erythrose 21_, ribose 23, D-glucoronolactone 25, tartaric acid 18, and glycolic acid 20 are tested in solution at 10 % by weight in water at spontaneous pH.
Maleamic acid 24 and diethyl maleate 26 are tested at 10% by weight in ethanol, and diallyl maleate 22 is tested at 10% in isododecane.
b). Protocol for evaluating the technical effect (stability, performance during/after application, texture)
Each composition produced in the above preparation protocol a) was tested on 4 locks of DARK BROWN 936 type IV hair: 2 natural locks and 2 bleached locks according to the straightening treatment protocols.
In order to quantify the contribution of steam, for each crosslinker and each type of lock (natural or bleached): one lock was straightened with a steampod LP8500 Go/7PO steam device from Rowenta, and the other was straightened with this same device used as a conventional straightening iron (without steam = comparative 1 ) under the same experimental conditions.
Equivalent straightening conditions were applied, i.e: 1 pass of steam iron = 3 passes of iron, and not equivalent numbers of passes.
The operating conditions followed are as follows:
- Conventional straightening iron (comparative 2): 10 passes at 210°C.
- Steam iron: 3 slow passes at 210°C.
B1) Protocol for conventional straightening iron (comparative 1)
The locks were wetted by 5 passes under water at 37°C then were placed in a glass chute.
0.054 g of crosslinking agent to be tested were introduced into an 8 ml flask with 5.4 g of solvent (water, ethanol or isododecane), i.e. 5.454 g of compositions which were prepared according to a) above.
The compositions were then applied to each lock and left on for 15 minutes at room temperature. The treated locks were then wrung out.
B2) Protocol for Brazilian straightening with conventional iron:
The locks of keratin fibres were combed, then were subjected to 5 successive blow drying passes, at position 2 (80 °C) of the hairdryer, with a round brush of medium diameter. Each of the locks was then separated into 2. Each part was subjected to 10 passes with the straightening iron using a comb on each half, then 2/3 passes over all of it.
The locks were then washed with a shampoo such as Ultra-Doux camomile and blossom honey.
Each lock was then pressed at various points so as not to interfere with the curl, then dried flat.
B3) Protocol with iron and steam
The locks were wetted by 5 passes under water at 37°C then were placed in a glass chute.
0.054 g of crosslinking agent to be tested were introduced into an 8 ml flask with 5.4 g of solvent (water, ethanol or isododecane), i.e. 5.454 g of compositions which were prepared according to a) above.
The compositions were then applied to each lock and left in for 15 minutes at room temperature. The treated locks were then wrung out.
B4) Protocol for Brazilian straightening with steam iron:
The locks of keratin fibres were combed, then were subjected to 5 successive blow drying passes, at position 2 (80 °C) of the hairdryer, with a round brush of medium diameter. Each of the locks was then separated into 2. Each part was subjected to 3 15-second passes (27 cm long lock) with the steam iron on each half, then 2/3 passes over all of it.
The locks were then washed with a shampoo such as Ultra-Doux camomile and blossom honey.
Each lock was then pressed at various points so as not to interfere with the curl, then dried flat.
c). Results of the evaluation:
The vitro orientation tests were evaluated on the following 4 criteria: curl relaxation, feel, manageability and durability.

The process according to the invention which employs the steam iron step made it possible to obtain significant superiority in terms of the cosmetic performance obtained over all the evaluation criteria, compared to the comparison, i.e. conventional straightening iron without steam.
It became apparent that all the parameters are significantly superior with the process of the invention which employs a steam iron step, vs. the comparative process, which represents a very large gain in performance.
Curl relaxation is far better with the care provided to the hair with the process for treating keratin fibres of the invention than the process without steam iron. In addition, the straightening time proved to be much shorter, which made it possible, in terms of the process for treating keratin fibres, for professional hairdressers to save time and avoids additional actions for said professionals. The process according to the invention made it possible to obtain good long-lasting curl relaxation.
The straightening time was reduced on average by three compared to a conventional process without steam.
