A polymer treatment agent for rehabilitating damaged hair contains a block copolymer including a hydrophilic polymer chain segment and a hydrophobic polymer chain segment that is derived from a polyamino acid. The polymer treatment agent is not limited to methods for rehabilitating damaged head hair, but also can be applied to body hair including eyelashes and eyebrows; furthermore, it can increase the physical strength of hair even when applied in a very small amount and without using a silicone component.
