TECHNICAL FIELD
[0003] The present invention relates to a topical solution applied
to the scalp that is suitable to protect against hair loss. A uniform
resist in the wall of a follicle will provide a zero tolerance of
laminate formed by follicle assimilation. A blocked hair follicle
can trap a hair especially, during the catogen and telogen phase
when the presence or movement of the hair decreases or stops. Also,
an accumulation of lipid mixes, di-hydrotestosterone (DHT), sebum
and sweat films can be detrimental and cause damage to the follicle
and hair root, which can lead to hair loss. The present invention
unblocks the follicle, releases entrapped hair and oxidize proteins
into metabolism without the use of drugs and risk of carcinogens.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0004] There are countless scalp treatment shampoos. Typically,
they have some ability to help the hair and scalp. While most of
these compositions serve the purpose, they primarily contain nutrients,
herbs, and now, extracts from exotic herb roots. Recently, many
topical compositions added to their formula high potent nutrients
derived from a secondary enzymatic process. Most of the vitamins
and minerals the body needs can be found in an ordinary balanced
diet. Vitamins and supplements are generally recommended when there
is a pregnancy or deficiency in the diet, particularly for the elderly
or poor, to be taken internally where they have intended purpose.
Any superficial application, such as being applied externally, does
not contribute to their reaction in metabolism where they are most
beneficial. The problem with topical compositions combined with
nutrients or bionutrients is their inability to react as effectively
as when taken internally.
[0005] Another problem is scalp compositions containing an antibacterial.
Many provide minor results since the surfactant ingredient used
is common among other topical solutions which generally have disinfecting
properties. The disinfecting of the scalp or follicle helps control
bacteria or inflammation, only. The follicle is disinfected, yet
laminate remains. Moreover, is the hair care system consisting of
a variety of products. The hair care system recommends the user
to apply a pre-rinse treatment to remove hair styling residue, a
shampoo treatment to clean the hair, a scalp treatment to clean
the scalp surface residue, an antimicrobial treatment to control
bacteria, a bionutrient treatment to nourish the hair, and hair
conditioner treatment to soften or help damaged hair. Next, styling
products are applied to achieve a desired style of the hair. Finally,
the hair care system recommends an oral supplement vitamin and apply
their overnight treatment to your scalp.
[0006] The main thrust of the problem when applying multiple products
or their extensive use is to the hair, scalp and follicle. The duplicitous
or extensive treatment may cause scalp irritation, damaged hair,
or may result in acute hair root shock due to over exposure of chemical
treatments.
[0007] In these respects, the present invention departs from the
conventional concepts of the prior art and in doing so, provides
a scalp composition treatment suitable to protect against hair loss
by unblocking the follicle, releasing entrapped hair and oxidizing
proteins into metabolism.
THE PRIOR ART
[0008] U.S. Pat. No. 6,689,348, to Jeon discloses a composition
for a method of treating hair loss with herbal extracts, diethanol
or triethanol amine, diocytl sodium sulfosuccinate and benzoic acid.
The composition as stated in claim 2 and 3, is fermented in a ultrasonic
fermenting apparatus between 12 to about 24 hours. The present invention
stated herein departs from the prior art in the ingredients and
the method of comprising said ingredients.
[0009] U.S. Pat. No. 5,767,104, to Bar-Shalom, et al., discloses
a method of treating or preventing baldness with sulfated saccharine.
The prior art as stated in Example 14: Effect of a treatment with
sucralfate on common male-pattern baldness; states the preparation
was used in two daily topical applications by a 40-year-old male
who had a normal, common male-pattern baldness. After 3-4 weeks,
there was appearance of hair in the otherwise bald lateral-frontal
areas in the scalp. The present invention stated herein departs
from the prior art in the ingredients and the amount of daily treatments.
[0010] U.S. Pat. No. 5,597,575, to Breitbarth discloses a topical
treatment for the scalp. Claim 1 states a composition for stimulating
and inducing hair growth. Claim 2 states the ingredients consisting
of vitamin D.sub 3 component attached to said micro particles via
charged ionic groups. Claim 4 states a composition comprising of
vitamin D.sub.3, non-metallic particles, a surfactant of 3.5%-6.0%
by volume, a preservative, and aloe. Claim 9 specifically identifies
the surfactant as Tween 20. The prior art and its stated ingredients
have no similarity to the present invention. In the prior art claim
8-12 describe a method to prepare its composition. In the prior
art claim 13, 14 and 15 states a method of treating a subject to
stimulate and induce hair growth is by applying the effective amount
of the composition to the scalp and massaging the drops of the composition
into the scalp for a period of five minutes once a day. In conclusion,
the present invention stated herein departs from the prior art as
a topical composition in ingredients, method of preparation and
directions for use.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0012] The object of the present invention is a scalp treatment
suitable to protect against hair loss. This claim is accomplished,
in accordance with the present invention by providing a liquid composition
of anionic surfactants and a chelate. The composition develops to
a critical miscelle concentration (CMC) and essentially the optimum
of activity. The force acting on the surface of the liquid is minimized
as the surface tension is reduced providing a zero tolerance of
follicle assimilation laminate during the hair growth cycle.
[0013] The present invention is a rheology of agents with properties
that strongly absorb along the entire hair shaft and follicle providing
a boost of foam in the presence of lipid oils. The addition of a
chelate agent, combines the chelate power with the potential to
chelate transition metals which catalyze lipid per oxidation. The
main ingredient, sodium diisopropyl naphthalene sulfonate is a highly
effective surface active agent, even more effective, once the other
agents are precipitated or decomposed. The sodium diisopropyl naphthalene
sulfonate is a unique ingredient. According to Cytec Industries
brochures and literature, the manufacturer makes no reference or
claim to document its use in a shampoo, cosmetic or hair care application
and moreover, the present invention comprising sodium diisopropyl
naphthalene sulfonate in a scalp shampoo was discovered independently
without manufacturers' or supplier's recommended use.
[0014] To protect against hair loss, the present invention as applied
to the scalp skin, has active ingredients to eliminate follicle
laminate. Moreover, the separating of the acidic containing impurities
and protein decay occurs particularly, at the mouth of the follicle.
Within a blocked follicle, the population of normal bacteria increases
dramatically. A blocked follicle can trap the hair and other bacteria
inside, too. Proteins that are vital in the anagen phase are spent
fighting bacteria. Also, a blocked follicle can produce depression
or deactivation of the hair bulb. While the presence of the hair
and its movements may help prevent the hair follicle from becoming
blocked, this usually occurs during the anagen phase. The risk of
a blocked follicle, entrapped hair and protein loss occur in the
catagen resting or the telogen regression phase. The excess shedding
of hair and hair loss may be caused by any of the above circumstances.
[0015] The alkyl is selected from the group consisting of ethyl,
hexyl, heptyl, isobutyl, isopropyl, methyl, n-butyl, octyl, pentyl,
propyl, and tertbutyl. The alkyl has from 1 to 10 carbon atoms and
can have 9 to 10 carbon atoms, or can have 5 to 7 carbon atoms,
and preferably has 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and most preferably has
3 carbon atoms. The sodium diisopropyl naphthalene sulfonate can
be a solid or liquid and substituted with sodium diisobutyl naphthalene
sulfonate, alkyl aryl naphthalene sulfonates or dodecyl diphenyl
oxide sulfonate.
[0016] The present invention can be used in a variety of methods.
It can be added to hair or scalp products. It can be comprised to
a solid or aqueous form and used as a powder, gel, rinse, lotion,
cream, tonic, spray, or overnight treatment.
[0017] The composition can have ingredients added such as preservatives,
antiseptics, nutrients, vitamins, herbs, fragrances, dyes and detergents.
[0018] While only a single embodiment of the present invention
has been shown and described, it is to be understood that many changes
and modifications may be made thereunto, without departing from
the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended
claims. |
