Chemical hair straightening changes hair proteins and mostly fixes broken bonds.
research Solubility of Structurally Complicated Materials: 3. Hair
Hair is hard to dissolve because of its complex proteins, but certain solvents that break specific bonds and hydrate can do it.
research Investigation of the damage on the outermost hair surface using ToF‐SIMS and XPS
Bleaching hair causes significant damage by breaking down proteins and fatty acids.
research Bleached Hair as Standard Template to Insight the Performance of Commercial Hair Repair Products
K18® and Olaplex® both effectively repair bleached hair, improving its strength, smoothness, and overall health.
research Impact of acid (”progressive brush”) and alkaline straightening on the hair fiber: Differential effects on the cuticle and cortex properties
Glyoxylic acid straighteners cause more protein loss but have similar hair strength effects as traditional alkaline straighteners.
research Damage limitation: comparing the impact of polymers on bleached hair, when applied within or as post-bleach treatments
Polymers help reduce damage and improve bleached hair when used during or after bleaching.
