Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a human hair fiber treatment agent which semi-permanently or permanently changes the shape of human hair fibers implanted in a wig, or human hair fibers as a tress.
  • Wigs using synthetic hair provide the following advantages: their high heat resistance easily allows straight hair to be curled or curled hair to be straightened using a heating tool such as a curling iron (hereinafter, referred to as "shape imparting properties"), and such a curled or straight shape formed using a heating tool is retained even under hot and humid conditions such as bathing or hair wash (hereinafter, referred to as "shape sustainability"). Furthermore, the wigs using synthetic hair are also excellent because such wigs are more rigid and have higher strength as compared with wigs using human hair. On the other hand, the wigs using synthetic hair have the following disadvantages: gloss is strong due to smooth surface, and the original purpose of wearing natural feeling of hair with a wig is difficult to achieve due to unnatural texture.
  • Wigs using human hair provide the advantages that the wigs have texture or gloss similar to those of self hair and produce natural appearance upon wearing. Most people who wear wigs do not want to be known to anyone as wearing wigs. Under such circumstances, it is largely advantageous to produce natural appearance on the wig.
  • Patent Literature 1 discloses a fiber tress for hair prepared by mixing human hair with polyester fibers having specific physical properties, in order to overcome the disadvantage for poor shape sustainability of human hair while maintaining the excellent characteristics of human hair.
  • Patent Literature 2 discloses a hair ornament product prepared by blending regenerated collagen fibers with human hair, in order to overcome the disadvantage for accumulation of frizz of human hair products and also to supplement permanent wave performance which is a disadvantage of the regenerated collagen fibers.
  • the present invention provides a human hair fiber treatment agent for treating human hair fibers separated from the human head and artificially fixed at one part of the longitudinal direction, wherein the human hair fiber treatment agent comprises the following components (A) to (C) in the formulation thereof, and the content of the component (A) is 1% by mass or more:
  • the present invention further provides a method for treating human hair fibers, comprising the following step (i):
  • the present invention further provides a method for producing a wig, comprising the step of treating human hair fibers implanted in a wig by the method for treating human hair fibers described above.
  • Patent Literature 1 Human hair currently used in hair ornament products such as wigs undergoes many treatment steps including removal of cuticle by chemical treatment as well as bleaching and dyeing, in order to impart uniform shapes or colors thereto. Therefore, the human hair may be damaged during these steps (Patent Literature 1) and is known to present problems associated with durability (Patent Literature 2).
  • Patent Literatures 1 and 2 the synthetic hair-derived disadvantages of unnatural appearance and poor feel are still not solved because human hair is mixed with synthetic hair. Thus, these techniques are insufficient for providing natural appearance.
  • the present invention relates to a human hair fiber treatment agent for producing a wig or a tress which is excellent in shape sustainability and durability while retaining the natural appearance of human hair, as well as to a method for treating human hair fibers.
  • the present inventor has found that the treatment of human hair fibers implanted in a wig or of a tress with a composition containing specific aldehyde compound and specific melamine derivative can not only impart shape sustainability to the human hair fibers but also improve the strength of the human hair fibers, thereby improving durability; and that as a result, the treated human hair fibers satisfy shape sustainability, natural gloss, good feel, and high durability simultaneously.
  • the present inventors have completed the invention.
  • a wig or a tress which is excellent in shape sustainability and durability while retaining the natural appearance and good feel of human hair can be produced.
  • the human hair fibers separated from the human head and artificially fixed at one part of the longitudinal direction refer to hair collected by cutting from the human head and then implanted in a wig, or a tress prepared by bundling one end thereof.
  • the "wig” includes a full wig, which covers the whole head, as well as a partial wig, which is worn in a portion of the head.
