Abstract
A hair care composition containing inorganic fluoride for straightening, smoothing, and/or relaxing hair, and a method for using the hair care composition a hair care composition containing an inorganic fluoride for straightening, smoothing, defrizzing, curling and/or relaxing of hair, and its method of use in a variety of hair care products, e.g., straightener solution, shampoo, conditioner, color binding treatment, volumizing treatment, a combination thereof, etc. The hair care composition is formaldehyde-free, even when heated.
Claims23
A hair care composition which crosslinks with hair, said composition comprising:
- a crosslinker, wherein said crosslinker is an inorganic fluoride selected from the group consisting of sodium fluoride, potassium fluoride, ammonium fluoride, lithium fluoride, zirconium fluoride, nickel fluoride, ammonium hexafluorophosphate, sodium monofluorophosphate, and any combination thereof, and is present in an amount of 0.4% to 1.25%, based on the total weight of the composition;
- and
- a quaternary compound selected from the group consisting of polyquaternium 7, amodimethicone, dicetyldimonium chloride, cetrimonium chloride, and any combinations thereof,
- wherein the composition has a pH range of between about 3.0 to about 8.5, and
- wherein said inorganic fluoride forms a crosslinked complex with the hair of a user when applied to the hair.
A shampoo composition comprising a crosslinker composition which crosslinks with hair and a non-ionic or anionic surfactant, said composition comprising:
- an inorganic fluoride selected from the group consisting of sodium fluoride, potassium fluoride, ammonium fluoride, lithium fluoride, zirconium fluoride, nickel fluoride, ammonium hexafluorophosphate, sodium monofluorophosphate, and any combinations thereof, and is present in an amount of 0.4% to 1.25%, based on the total weight of the composition;
- and
- said surfactant, wherein said surfactant is a quaternary compound selected from the group consisting of polyquaternium 7, amodimethicone, dicetyldimonium chloride, cetrimonium chloride, and any combination thereof,
- wherein said composition has a pH range of between about 3.0 to about 8.5, and
- wherein said inorganic fluoride forms a crosslinked complex with the hair of a user when applied to the hair.
A hair care composition which crosslinks with hair, said composition comprising:
- a crosslinker, wherein said crosslinker is an inorganic fluoride selected from the group consisting of sodium fluoride, potassium fluoride, ammonium fluoride, lithium fluoride, zirconium fluoride, nickel fluoride, ammonium hexafluorophosphate, sodium monofluorophosphate, and any combinations thereof, and wherein said inorganic fluoride is present in an amount of 0.1% to 15%, based on the total weight of the composition;
- a preservative selected from the group consisting of phenoxyethanol, sorbitol, potassium sorbate, sodium sorbate, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, imidazolidynyl urea, DMDM hydantoin, and any combinations thereof;
- a humectant selected from the group consisting of glycerine, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, diglycerin, panthenol, sodium PCA, sugar alcohols, lecithin, hydrolyzed wheat proteins, hydrolyzed rice proteins, hydrolyzed keratin proteins, hydrolyzed silk proteins, lipids, polyols, and any combinations thereof;
- a quaternary compound selected from the group consisting of polyquaternium 7, amodimethicone, dicetyldimonium chloride, cetrimonium chloride, and any combinations thereof;
- and
- a pH adjuster selected from the group consisting of phosphoric acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, ammonium hydroxide, isopropanolamine, and monoethanolamine, and any combinations thereof, wherein said pH adjuster is present in an amount so that the composition has a pH range of 3.0 to 8.5.
