More Information
Hair straightening and waving are achieved through the use of chemical substances known as "keratin treatments" or "perming solutions."
The process of hair straightening or waving consists of employing substances, often containing thioglycolic acid or its derivatives, which can disrupt the inherent composition of the hair. These chemicals can modify the disulfide bonds present in the hair, thereby facilitating its restructuring into either a sleeker or more wavy configuration.
Factors influencing hair straightening or waving:
● Chemical Composition: Different chemicals like thioglycolic acid or ammonium thioglycolate affect the hair's bonds.
● Hair Type: Hair texture, thickness, porosity, and previous chemical treatments influence the solution.
● Processing Time and Heat: The duration the solution remains on the hair affects the results.
