This study investigates the damage to hair fibers caused by direct heat perms compared to softening heat perms. It aims to objectively assess the morphological changes to the hair surface and cross-section after each perm treatment. The research is motivated by the popularity of direct heat perms for their time efficiency and simplicity, despite the increased damage they may cause. By analyzing these effects, the study seeks to provide foundational data for future research on the impact of heat perms on hair health.

research Evaluation of Changes and Characteristics of Hair According to the Application of the Hair Dryer Plasma Functional Module

4 citations , August 2021 in “Journal of the Korean Society of Cosmetology”

This study found that using a plasma hairdryer for 90 minutes caused significantly less hair damage, such as cuticle cracks or layer separation, compared to traditional hot air dryers.

research Hair Shaft Damage from Heat and Drying Time of Hair Dryer

34 citations , January 2011 in “Annals of dermatology/Annals of Dermatology”

This study found that using a hair dryer at 15 cm with continuous motion causes less surface damage to hair compared to natural drying, although higher temperatures increased overall surface damage.

research Structural Change of Keratin Protein in Human Hair by Permanent Waving Treatment

70 citations , June 1998 in “Polymer”

This study found that permanent waving treatment partially disrupts the α-helical structure in human hair microfibrils, primarily during the initial reduction phase, rather than just affecting disulphide bonds.
