    Chemical Bonds and Hair Behavior: A Review

    Steven Breakspear, Bernd Nöcker, C. Popescu
    Studysummary This review highlights that hair's chemical bonds, particularly disulfide bonds, are not homogeneous, as previously thought, but instead vary in response to different cosmetic treatments, suggesting a need for further exploration of ionic bonds and hydrophobic interactions.
