Question

Demonstrate through chemical modeling what happens to the protein structure (keratin) of curly hair after a chemical relaxer and heat are applied and what happens to straight hair after a chemical perm or relaxer is applied.

Answer 1

Answer:

Denaturation occurs.

Explanation:

When a chemical relaxer and heat applied to a curly hair, the protein present inside your hair get denature. Due to this denaturation of protein in the hair, the hair are soft and flexible which can be converted into any direction and different styles can be done. If chemical perm or relaxer is applied to straight hairs, it also denature the protein and make the hair curly.
