What is HAIR SHRINKAGE? Is it good or bad?

Hey there TKN Beauty,

I know you do ask sometimes why is my hair  shrinking, but, do you know if it's good or bad? Read more to find out.

 

HOW DOES SHRINKAGE HAPPEN?

When water is applied to our hair, the hair cuticles are lifted, and the water is absorbed. Once the water is absorbed, the hair curls or shrinks into its natural curl pattern. Also called shrinkage.

 

Another is, that the hair’s shape is controlled by the curvature of its strand. If the strand is curved, the hair emerging will be curled. If the follicle is straight, the emerging hair will be straight. In addition to this, the transition of curly and coily hair shafts undergoes asymmetrical keratinization making a strain that results in twists and curves.

The hair shaft itself is composed of proteins (keratin) that are attached to one another by three different types of bonds: hydrogen, salt, and disulfide. These side bonds link together and play a major role in the elasticity and strength of hair.
