HAIR AND CHEMISTRY
Colour, cut, curl, straigthen, tie... Your hair is your
best friend who is always on your side. They are a
complementary part of a woman’s beauty so their healt
is important to any of us. Strong and shiny hairs are good
looking and healthy. As long as they are made up of
water, lipids, minerals and -most importantly- proteins,
human hair is directly related to the chemistery.
The Structure of Hair
Every single thread of hair is called as a shant of
hair. The shant of the hair consists of proteins. The
main raw protein is called keratin.Keratin is made of
eighteen different amino acids.keratin is produced by
kerotinocytes. Those kerotinocytes are functioning
differently. Some of them are going to form the outer
layer of the hair and some stay inside and grow.
Any modification on the hair is related to the bonds
between kerarines on the hair. There are some strong
bonds that are ionisc and some bonds and some
sulphur bridges; and some weak bonds of hydrogen
are also in the structure of hair.
What To Wash With?
Cleaning the hairwith soap or detergent. Eventhough
it sounds strange detergents are a better choice for
cleaining. The shampoo’s contain a kind of detergent
and rather than using soap, detergent is preferable. The
soap is leaving some Calcium and Magnesium behind
and also because it is alkaline it makes the cuticle get
loose and hair look more dull. Any acids are working
the vice versa, they make hair shrink in and make it
look shineer and be softer so using some vinegar or
lemon juice is reccommended.
