Abstract

Purpose: The study aims to manufacture paper mulberry-added formulations to improve hair quality, apply it to damaged hair, and examine the effect of the formulations in improving hair quality.
Methods: Formulations were manufactured by varying the contents of paper mulberry extract at 0, 2, 4, and 6 g. Then, the formulations were applied to discolored sample hairs, which were treated with heat and left in nature. Then, the conditions of the sample hairs before and after application of the formulations were compared. To examine the effect of the formulations on hair quality, the study measured tensile strength, optical absorption using methylene blue, and luster.
Results: For all samples, the average values for tensile strength increased after application of the formulations, especially for samples 7L(1), 7L(2), 7L(3), and 9L(3). The analysis of optical absorption using methylene blue demonstrated that the average values for optical absorption decreased for all samples except in the case of healthy hair. Such decreases were noted for samples 7L(1), 7L(2), 7L(3), and 9L(3). Finally, the average values for luster increased samples 7L(3) and 9L(3).
Conclusion: The study found that paper mulberry extract is effective for improving tensile strength, optical absorption, and luster of damaged hair. However, the study only verified the results on a limited number of hair characteristics and used one ingredient. Thus, further research using various measurement methods and other ingredients is necessary.
