Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Described herein is a method for shaping keratin fibres including (i) providing a crosslinking composition, wherein the crosslinking composition includes a 2-oxazolidinone compound, a photocatalyst being a hydroxy-substituted aromatic compound, and a cosmetically acceptable carrier; (ii) applying the crosslinking composition to keratin fibres; and (iii) mechanically shaping the keratin fibres with an appliance at a temperature of from about 80° C. to about 180° C. while exposing the crosslinking composition to electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of from about 300 nm to about 750 nm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method for shaping keratin fibres comprising: (a) providing a crosslinking composition, wherein the crosslinking composition comprises: (i) a 2-oxazolidinone having the structure: wherein: R 1 and R 2 independently of one another are selected from hydrogen, hydroxyl, phenyl, and C 1 -C 6 -alkyl; R 3 is selected from hydrogen, C 1 -C 12 -alkyl, N-hydroxy-(C 2 -C 6 )-alkyl, C 1 -C 12 -alkenyl, and C 6 -C 12 -aryl; and R 4 and R 5 independently of one another are selected from C 1 -C 12 -alkyl, C 1 -C 12 -alkenyl, C 6 -C 12 -aryl, C 1 -C 12 -alkoxy, and hydrogen; (ii) a photocatalyst, wherein the photocatalyst is a hydroxy-substituted aromatic compound; (iii) a cosmetically acceptable carrier; wherein the crosslinking composition has not been exposed to electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of about 750 nm or less for 30 min or more; (b) applying the crosslinking composition to keratin fibres; and (c) mechanically shaping the keratin fibres with an appliance at a temperature of from about 80° C. to about 180° C. while exposing the crosslinking composition to electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of from about 300 nm to about 750 nm. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mechanical shaping of keratin fibres is straightening keratin fibres or curling keratin fibres. 3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the temperature of the appliance is from about 80° C. to about 170° C. 4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the appliance comprises light-emitting diodes. 5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the photocatalyst can be activated to a photo-excited state by excitation with incident radiation with a wavelength from about 300 nm to about 750 nm and wherein the appliance emits radiation having a wavelength from about 300 nm to about 750 nm. 6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the hydroxy-substituted aromatic compound is selected from the group consisting of 8-hydroxyquinoline, 4′,5′-dibromofluorescein, Eosin Y, and combinations thereof. 7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the crosslinking composition is substantially free of formaldehyde, derivatives of formaldehyde, formalin, and any compound that produces formaldehyde upon heating. 8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method does not comprise a rinsing step. 9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the crosslinking composition comprises from about 1% to about 30% N-hydroxyethyl-2-oxazolidinone, by weight of the crosslinking composition. 10 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the crosslinking composition comprises from about 10% to about 25% N-hydroxyethyl-2-oxazolidinone, by weight of the crosslinking composition. 11 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the crosslinking composition comprises from about 13% to about 22% N-hydroxyethyl-2-oxazolidinone, by weight of the crosslinking composition. 12 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the crosslinking composition comprises from about 10% to about 25% of the 2-oxazolidinone, by weight of the crosslinking composition. 13 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the crosslinking composition comprises from about 15% to about 20% of the 2-oxazolidinone, by weight of the crosslinking composition. 14 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the crosslinking composition comprises from about 15% to about 20% N-hydroxyethyl-2-oxazolidinone, by weight of the crosslinking composition. 15 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the crosslinking composition further comprises from about 2% to about 18% of a reducing sugar selected from the group consisting of arabinose, xylose, ribose, and combinations thereof, by weight of the crosslinking composition. 16 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the crosslinking composition further comprises 1,2-bis(2-maleimidoethoxy)ethane. 17 . A crosslinking composition for shaping keratin fibres comprising: (i) a 2-oxazolidinone having the structure: wherein: R 1 and R 2 independently of one another are selected from hydrogen, hydroxyl, phenyl, and C 1 -C 6 -alkyl; R 3 is selected from hydrogen, C 1 -C 12 -alkyl, N-hydroxy-(C 2 -C 6 )-alkyl, C 1 -C 12 -alkenyl, and C 6 -C 12 -aryl; and R 4 and R 5 independently of one another are selected from C 1 -C 12 -alkyl, C 1 -C 12 -alkenyl, C 6 -C 12 -aryl, C 1 -C 12 -alkoxy, and hydrogen; (ii) a photocatalyst, wherein the photocatalyst is a hydroxy-substituted aromatic compound; and (iii) a cosmetically acceptable carrier. 18 . The crosslinking composition according to claim 17 , wherein the hydroxy-substituted aromatic compound is selected from the group consisting of 8-hydroxyquinoline, 4′,5′-dibromofluorescein, Eosin Y, and combinations thereof. 19 . The crosslinking composition according to claim 17 , wherein the crosslinking composition is substantially free of formaldehyde, derivatives of formaldehyde, formalin, and any compound that produces formaldehyde upon heating. 20 . The crosslinking composition according to claim 17 , wherein the crosslinking composition comprises from about 10% to about 25% N-hydroxyethyl-2-oxazolidinone, by weight of the crosslinking composition.
