What makes hair Curl / Straight?
Notes: Melting temperature of hair is from 185°C to 280°C (depend on hair quality); For safety, hair must not be heated over 185°C. Unlike Asian or European hair types, African hair is typically very curly or kinky and is more elliptical in shape. With curling iron and straightener, temperature is important. The higher the heat, the quicker the curl is formed and the longer it will last in the hair. However, thin hair can be easily damaged and burned with over-heat. As a result, its cuticle life will be shortened, and split ends and frizz occur. The following is the temperature limits for your reference:

It is the hydrogen bonds found in the hair's cortex which cause hair to bend and become curly. Curling Iron / Straightener works by driving moisture out of the hair and locking the ionic hydrogen bonds in the hair. Once the bonds are broken, hair is prevented from holding its original and natural form, though the hydrogen bonds can reform if exposed to moisture. Therefore the moister within the hair needs to be heated up to at least 100°C. |
