The present invention relates to a composition which includes a polymer compound and a neutralizing agent and can be applied to damaged hair, wherein the compound included in the composition has unshared electron pairs and thus forms strong polar bonds with alpha-hydrogen in amino acids of the hair to which the compound is to be bonded, the composition has both a hard segment and a soft segment in the compound, and thus imparts multifunctionality, such as elasticity, repellency, and bulkiness, and collagen included in the composition attaches to damaged cell membrane complexes (CMC), thus enabling the damaged hair to recover. Further, oxygen included in the compound forms hydrogen bonds with moisture in the air to form a film having high antistatic properties and a large refractive index, and thus imparts gloss and deep-color effects.
