As for tensile strength, the experiment group which consist of virgin hair, one time bleached hair, five times bleached hair was raised, when compared to the control group of which samples was underwent only for the procedure of permanent wave. As for wave formation, the experiment group which consist of virgin hair, one time bleached hair, five times bleached hair was raised by about 9.6%, 10.9%, 23.9% respectively, when compared to the control group. As for wave longlasting, the experiment group which consist of virgin hair, one time bleached hair, five times bleached hair was raised by about 9.6%, 10.9%, 23.9% respectively, when compared to the control group.
