A Study on the Treatment Effect and Wave Efficiency of Heat Perm Added Camellia Oil

Abstract

This study is for the treatment effect and wave efficiency shown by using camellia oil, a natural material, for hair damaged by heat perm, a chemical treatment. For this, An experimental group containing camellia oil and a control group without it were prepared. and then, hair tensile strength measurement, absorbance measurement, SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) observation, and hair gloss measurement were tested. First, in the tensile strength measurement, the tensile strength of the heat perm with camellia oil was higher than that of the heat perm without camellia oil. And as a result of absorbance measurement using methylene blue, the average absorbance of hair containing camellia oil was low. Second, in SEM, heat perm containing camellia oil showed less cuticle damage. Also, there was no cuticle damage in the heat perm containing camellia oil compared to the heat perm without camellia oil in the time observation. As a result of the gloss measurement, the degree of damage according to the time of the heat perm increased, but the damage was less in the heat perm including camellia oil. Based on these results, it was found that camellia oil had a high treatment effect of heat perm.
