Abstract

An agent for treating keratin-containing fibers includes in a cosmetic carrier: (a) a cationic cellulose compound; (b) a copolymer containing a structural unit of Formula (I), a structural unit of Formula (II), and a structural unit of Formula (III) in which R¹ is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, X¹ is an oxygen atom or an NH group, R² and R³ independently of one another are each a (C₁ to C₄) alkyl group; and (c) a copolymer containing a structural unit of Formula (I) and a structural unit of Formula (IV) in which R⁴ is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, X² is an oxygen atom or an NH group, A is a (C₂ to C₃) alkylene group, and R⁵ and R⁶ independently of one another are each a (C₁ to C₄) alkyl group. Methods for treating keratin-containing fibers using the agents are also provided.

Claims

1. An agent for treating keratin-containing fibers, especially human hair, comprising in a cosmetic carrier:

(a) a cationic cellulose compound;

(b) a copolymer containing a structural unit of Formula (I), a structural unit of Formula (II), and a structural unit of Formula (III)

2. The agent according to claim 1, wherein A is ethane-1,2-diyl or propane-1,3-diyl.

3. The agent according to claim 1, wherein the cationic cellulose compound in at least one side chain carries more than one permanent cationic charge.

4. The agent according to claim 1, wherein the cationic cellulose compound is present in an amount of about 0.1 wt % to about 3.0 wt % relative to the weight of the agent.

5. The agent according to claim 4, wherein the cationic cellulose compound is present in an amount of about 0.4 wt % to 1.8 wt % relative to the weight of the agent.

6. The agent according to claim 5, wherein the cationic cellulose compound is present in an amount of about 0.8 wt % to 1.2 wt %, relative to the weight of the agent.

7. The agent according to claim 1, wherein the copolymer (b) comprises a terpolymer obtained from N-vinyl pyrrolidone, N-vinyl caprolactam and N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate.

8. The agent according to claim 1, wherein the copolymer (b) is present in an amount of about 0.1 wt % to about 10.0 wt %, relative to the weight of the agent.

9. The agent according to claim 8, wherein the copolymer (b) is present in an amount of about 0.5 wt % to 8.0 wt %, relative to the weight of the agent.

10. The agent according to claim 9, wherein the copolymer (b) is present in an amount of about 0.5 wt % to 5.0 wt %, relative to the weight of the agent.

11. The agent according to claim 1, wherein in Formula (IV):

R⁴ is a methyl group;

X² is an oxygen atom or an NH group;

A is ethane-1,2-diyl or propane-1,3-diyl; and

R⁵ and R⁶ independently of one another are each a (C₁ to C₄) alkyl group, with the proviso that;

when X² is an oxygen atom, then A is ethane-1,2-diyl, and

when X² is an NH group, then A is propane-1,3-diyl.

12. The agent according to claim 11, wherein R⁵ and R⁶ are each a methyl group.

13. The agent according to claim 11, wherein X² in Formula (IV) is an oxygen atom and the copolymer (c) additionally comprises a structural unit of Formula (V)

14. The agent according to claim 1, wherein the copolymer (c) is present in an amount of about 0.01 wt % to about 5.0 wt %, relative to the weight of the agent.

15. The agent according to claim 1, wherein the copolymer (c) is present in an amount of about 0.1 wt % to about 2.0 wt %, relative to the weight of the agent.

16. The agent according to claim 1, further comprising a cationic surfactant.

17. The agent according to claim 1, further comprising a propellant.

18. A method for treating keratin-containing fibers, the method comprising the steps of:

foaming an agent to a foam using a dispensing device, the agent comprising in a cosmetic carrier;
