Hair Dyeing with Hydrogen Peroxide Chemical Process
On the transformation of hair dye with hydrogen peroxide
In modern times, many people seek the color change of hair, and hydrogen peroxide is quite useful in hair dyeing. Dyeing hair with hydrogen peroxide has a complex chemical process.
Hydrogen peroxide is active. When it encounters hair, the structure of melanin in the first break. Melanin is also the main cause of hair color. Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidative properties and can break the chemical bonds in melanin molecules. Melanin contains sulfur bonds. Hydrogen peroxide exerts its oxidative force, breaking the sulfur-containing bonds, and the structure of melanin is chaotic.
At the same time, hydrogen peroxide decomposes to generate new oxygen. This new oxygen is very active, and can enter the stratum corneum of the hair, which is further in harmony with melanin. Melanin's conjugate structure is destroyed due to the action of oxygen. The conjugate structure is involved in the formation of hair color. If the structure is destroyed, the color of melanin becomes lighter, and the hair color also becomes lighter.
The stratum corneum of the hair is also affected by the action of hydrogen peroxide. In the stratum corneum, there are protein fibers intertwined. Hydrogen peroxide loosens the bonds between the protein fibers. Although the hair color changes, the texture of the hair may become fragile. After dyeing, the hair may lose its flexibility, and it is easy to break and fold, all because the protein fibers of the stratum corneum are damaged.
And the effect of hair dyeing is not static. Over time, when exposed to sunlight and air, external factors interact with the residual hydrogen peroxide in the hair. Ultraviolet rays in sunlight can promote the continued reaction of hydrogen peroxide, melanin may be oxidized again, and hair color may change again.
In short, dyeing hair with hydrogen peroxide, although it can cause changes in hair color, the chemical process is complicated and may be unfavorable to the quality of the hair. Those who want to dye their hair should be aware of the benefits and proceed with caution.
