A water based fiber treatment agent and fiber treatmentnmethod impart to treated fibers a perfect smoothness, lubricity,nreduced tackiness, and pleasant tactile sensations. The waternbased fiber treatment agent contains a silicone oil emulsion ofncrosslinked silicone particles with an average diameter of 0.01nto 100 µm which are in silicone oil drops having an averagendiameter of 0.05 to 500 µm, and then the silicone oil drops arendispersed in water. The diameter of the crosslinked siliconenparticles is smaller than the diameter of the silicone oil drops. |
