If you have these thoughts, then you may want to revisit the effects of perming and coloring on your hair. Because perming and dyeing hair are not the same, they can damage your hair to different levels and in different ways. Today, I will give you a science popularization of the principles, differences and precautions of perm and hair coloring, so that you can choose more wisely before making the decision to perm or dye your hair.
Perming and coloring hair are both chemical reactions that change the appearance of hair, but their principles are different.
Perming is the use of perm and high temperature to break the disulfide bonds in the hair to make the hair soft, then use a curling iron or other tools to shape the hair, and finally use styling agents to reattach the disulfide bonds to allow the hair to be fixed in the new shape. During the perm process, the hair's proteins are denatured, causing the hair to become dry, brittle, inelastic and shiny.
Hair coloring is the use of hair dyes and oxidants to remove natural pigments from the hair, and then artificial colors are added to give the hair a new color. During the hair dyeing process, the hair cuticle is opened, allowing the hair dye to enter the cortical layer of the hair, and at the same time, the hair will also lose moisture and nutrients, causing the hair to become dry, dull and prone to breakage.
In principle, we can see that both perming and dyeing hair can cause certain damage to the hair, but their differences are:
Perming is mainly to change the shape of the hair, and dyeing is mainly to change the color of the hair;
Perm hair mainly affects the protein of the hair, and hair coloring mainly affects the pigment of the hair;
Perming is mainly about destroying and rebuilding disulfide bonds, and dyeing hair is mainly about removing and adding pigments;
