Breaking down the hydrogen bonds in the hair sounds dangerous. What does this mean exactly and can curlaway damage your hair over years of use?
Breaking or loosening hydrogen bonds in the hair is not dangerous. It happens all the time when we shampoo or style our hair. When Caucasian curly hair gets wet and to a lesser degree when African-American hair gets wet the curl loosens or disappears. This is an example of breaking hydrogen bonds within the matrix of the hair. When you heat your hair to remove curl, this is also an example of hydrogen bonds releasing. So it is normal and not dangerous and using Curlaway for many years will not damage your hair, just like wetting your hair or heating your hair (as mildly as possible) won’t damage your hair over years of doing so.
