Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This research investigates how much hair quality could be improved through the use of a hair-treatment agent produced by adding amino acids such as cystine, lysine, proline, arginine, glutamine acid, and alanine.
Methods: The research was implemented through measuring hair surface arrangements, amino acid contents, and tensile strength. The following procedure was taken as a research method. Firstly, we prepared bleached and dyed hair, which were based on healthy hair. Secondly, we applied a hair-treatment agent on them as follows: plain shampoo, hair treatment after plain shampoo (once), hair treatment after plain shampoo (twice). Thirdly, we measured absorbance of methylene blue (MB), amino acid contents, and tensile strength.
Results: The value of absorbance was lowered and amino acid contents was increased, according to the number of using a hair-treatment agent. The value of tensile strength was increased in the event of applying a hair-treatment agent.
Conclusion: We could find that there was improvement of hair quality under the condition of applying a hair-treatment agent rather than that of using a plain shampoo. Thus, hair-treatment agents could be developed as a new product for home use and use by professionals.
