This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 15/993,087, filed May 30, 2018, which is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/565,095, filed Aug. 2, 2012, now abandoned, which claims priority under 35 USC § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/514,750, filed on Aug. 3, 2011, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

This document relates to hair care and hair care compositions. For example, this document provides hair care compositions that can be applied to hair in a manner that is pleasing to a user and/or in a manner that allows a user to experience a favorable outcome. In some cases, a hair care composition provided herein can be applied to hair in a manner that allows a user to experience minimal fading of a previously applied hair color and/or in a manner that allows a user to experience enhanced thermal protection.

Many different hair care products are used to treat hair. For example, shampoos are used to clean hair, while styling gels are used to increase hair manageability. Not all hair care products, however, result in healthy hair or in a user's desired goals. In addition, some hair care products can be expensive to produce, thereby limiting the number of users who can benefit from their routine use.

This document provides methods and materials related to hair care. For example, this document provides hair care compositions and methods for using hair care compositions. The hair care compositions provided herein can contain one or more quaternized polysiloxanes, one or more zwitterionic surfactants, one or more anionic surfactants, one or more botanical compounds, one or more amino acids, one or more vitamins, or any combination thereof. In some cases, a hair care composition provided herein can lack sulfate. For example, a hair care composition provided herein can be sulfate-free.

The hair care compositions provided herein can provide a desired result (e.g., hair cleaning, hair styling, hair moisturizing, or hair management) in a manner that allows a user to experience minimal fading of a previously applied hair color. For example, users who recently applied hair coloring to their hair can use the hair care compositions provided herein once or repeatedly with minimal fading of a previously applied hair color. In some cases, a hair care composition provided herein can provide a desired result (e.g., hair cleaning, hair styling, hair moisturizing, or hair management) in a manner that allows a user to experience enhanced thermal protection. For example, users can use the hair care products provided herein with enhanced thermal protection such that hair strands exhibit minimal breakage and/or split ends when exposed to heat (e.g., blow drying, curling iron, and/or flat iron).

Having the ability to use the hair care compositions provided herein in a manner that allows a user to experience minimal fading of a previously applied hair color can allow the user to achieve a desired hair care result with more confidence that the hair will retain its color for a sufficient duration. In addition, having the ability to use the hair care compositions provided herein in a manner that allows a user to experience enhanced thermal protection can allow the user to achieve a desired hair care result with more confidence that the hair will remain healthy even when repeatedly exposed to heat (e.g., blow drying, curling iron, and/or flat iron).

Three shampoo compositions (i.e., the shampoo compositions described in Examples 5, 6, and 7) were produced and tested for the ability to be used with minimal fading of a previously applied hair color. In particular, double bleached platinum blonde test hair tresses (4 grams in weight and 7 inches in length) were dyed with a commercial permanent red hair dye and then measured using reflectance spectrometry to establish a starting red hair value. The hair switches were grouped into sets of three and then treated with the shampoo compositions (0.50 grams of shampoo followed by 30 seconds of lathering and 2 minutes of rinsing with clean water for each shampoo cycle).

A competitor shampoo composition (i.e., the Pureology Hydrate Shampoo®) was also tested for comparison purposes as it is proclaimed to clean hair without stripping color. After the first, fifth, and tenth shampooing cycles, the red color difference for each test tress as compared to the starting red hair value was determined using reflectance spectrometry. The results are presented in Table 41 with a number closer to zero representing better color wash fastness (e.g., less red color loss). The shampoo compositions described in Examples 5, 6, and 7 performed very well, exhibiting a color wash fastness that is at least as effective as the competitive shampoo (Table 34).

These results demonstrate that the hair care compositions provided herein can be used with minimal fading of a previously applied hair color.

Four conditioner compositions (i.e., the conditioner compositions described in Examples 11, 12, 13, and 14) were produced and tested for the ability to provide thermal protection. In particular, bleached human hair (4 grams weight and 7 inches long) was treated with 0.50 grams of each conditioner, allowed to rest on the hair for 30 seconds and then rinsed for 2 minutes with clean water. The hair was allowed to dry at ambient temperature and then exposed to heat from a flat iron for 10 seconds followed by a 30 second rest and then heated again for a total of three complete heat cycles. Hair samples from each individual hair switch were analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry to determine the heat resistance benefit imparted to the hair by each conditioner treatment.

A competitor conditioner composition (i.e., the Pureology Hydrate Conditioner®) was also tested for comparison purposes as it is proclaimed to protect against heat damage. A conditioner formulation containing 1 percent cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CTAC) was used as a control for the differential scanning calorimetry measurements.

The results are presented in Table 42 with a higher number representing better thermal protection. The conditioner compositions described in Examples 11, 12, 13, and 14 performed very well, exhibiting thermal protection that is at least equally effective as the competitive conditioner and in three of the four compositions significantly better thermal protection (Table 42).

These results demonstrate that the hair care compositions provided herein can be used to provide thermal protection.
