This study aimed to understand the effects on the improvement of hair texture by producing a hair texture improvement agent with milk thistle oil, and then applying it to the damaged hair. Each sample before and after application was measured. To understand the effects on the improvement of hair texture, the tensile strength, absorbance with the use of methylene blue, and gloss were measured. In the results of measuring the tensile strength to understand the effects on the improvement of hair texture, In the results of analyzing the absorbance with the use of methylene blue, the value after application was decreased than the value before application. In the results of measuring the gloss, none of the samples showed huge differences. In the results of this study, the milk thistle oil showed the effects on the texture improvement of damaged hair.
