Specifically, the fiber treating agent was stirred and then left to stand still, and the presence and absence of deposition in room temperature were checked. The results are shown in Tables 1 to 4.
  • A The deposition was not formed in one week or longer.
  • the above-mentioned base fiber was stretched at 100° C., and then the above-mentioned fiber treating agent was applied to the base fiber by a roll transfer method.
  • the radius of the roll was 125 mm
  • the roll was immersed in the fiber treating agent with a height of 20 mm from the lower end of the roll, and the roll rotation speed was 8 m/min.
  • annealing was performed at 120° C., and a fiber for evaluation (fiber for artificial hair) having a single fiber fineness of 20 to 100 decitex was obtained.
  • the stretch ratio was 3.25 times, and the relaxation ratio during annealing was 25%.
  • the relaxation ratio during annealing is a value calculated by the formula: “(Circumference of the outlet nearest portion of the roller of the annealing furnace)/(Circumference of the inlet nearest portion of the roller of the annealing furnace)”.
  • the amounts (unit: % by mass) of the metal ion and the antistatic agent attached to the surface of the fiber for evaluation are shown as the contents of active ingredients in the fiber for evaluation in each table. Assuming that the solid content in a decrement of the fiber treating agent is attached to the surface of the fiber for evaluation, the attached amount was calculated by the formula: “((Decrement of the fiber treating agent in the fiber treating step ⁇ (Active ingredient ratio [%] of each reagent in the fiber treating agent/100))/Total amount of the fiber for evaluation) ⁇ 100”.
  • the antibacterial activity of the fiber for evaluation was evaluated based on JIS L 1902. Staphylococcus aureus was used as a test bacterium, and the antibacterially active value (difference in the number of viable bacteria) before and after the bacteria was left to stand at 37° C. for 18 hours was measured.
  • the “antibacterially active value” is the following value defined in “Bacterial-liquid absorption method” of JIS L 1902.
  • the above-mentioned fibers for evaluation were bundled to obtain a fiber bundle having a length of 250 mm and a mass of 20 g. Subsequently, the fiber bundle was left to stand for 24 hours in the environment of 23° C. and 50% RH, and then the surface resistance value was measured under the condition of an applied voltage of 10 V using a digital ultra-high resistance/micro current meter (ADVANTEST CORPORATION, trade name: R8340). The antistatic property was evaluated based on an average value of five times measurements. The average value is shown in each table.
  • the stickiness and the roughness were evaluated as the tactile sensation.
  • the above-mentioned fibers for evaluation were bundled to obtain a fiber bundle having a length of 250 mm and a mass of 20 g.
  • the stickiness and the roughness of the fiber bundle were evaluated based on the following criteria by touching of ten technicians for treatment of the fiber for artificial hair (work experience: 5 years or longer). A case where even one person evaluating as “NG” existed was determined as “NG”, and in a case where there was no NG evaluation, the total score was calculated. The total score is shown in each table.
  • the above-mentioned fibers for evaluation were bundled to obtain ten fiber bundles having a length of 200 mm and a mass of 1 g. Subsequently, the fiber bundles were left to stand for 24 hours in the environment of 23° C. and 50% RH. Thereafter, the fiber bundles were exposed to fire for 3 seconds using an igniter (Tokai Co., trade name: CR Chakkaman), and whether or not the fire is spontaneously extinguished was checked. Determination was made based on the following criteria.
