PERMS AND RELAXERS MAKE HAIR WEAK

Keratin refers to family of fibrous structural proteins and is also the key structural component of hair.

Hair contains a high amount of sulfur because the amino acid cysteine is a key component of the keratin proteins in hair fiber. The sulfur in cysteine molecules in adjacent keratin proteins link together in disulfide chemical bonds. These disulfide bonds are very strong and very difficult to break apart. These disulfide chemical bonds linking the keratins together are the key factor in the durability and resistance of hair fiber to degradation under environmental stress. They are largely resistant to the action of acids but the disulfide bonds can be broken apart by alkali solutions. 
This property is exploited in perms and chemical hair straightening processes. Alkali is used to break the disulfide bonds in the keratins and make the hair weak. The hair is formed into a new shape and then acid is applied to neutralize the alkali and enable the disulfide bonds to reform. The reformed disulfide bonds hold the hair in its new shape.
