Hair straightening: Hair with quite healthy and coarse hair is more suitable for hair straightening, because the hair is relatively healthy, and the absorption of the straightening potion is not very good, so it needs to be straightened through a splint to make the hair style straighter and the effect is better.

Hair softening: people with poor hair quality, soft hair or people who have done hair a few times still choose to soften, firstly, because of poor hair quality, the absorption of the potion is better, so it is easier to straighten up, and secondly, the damage to the hair is much smaller, which is very suitable for damaged hair, and the effect is more natural.

The difference between softening hair and straightening hair is that softening hair is an indispensable and important part of straightening hair, while straightening is only a necessary technical process after softening, and only when these two processes are combined can it be regarded as a complete process of straightening hair.

Softening is a means of changing the disulfide bonds in the hair in perm, and it is an essential and important link in hot perm technology and ion perm straightening technology.

Softening can also be understood as making the hair soft, that is, the internal structure of the hair becomes loose through chemical potions, in which the amino bonds will be weakened, the elasticity of the hair will be reduced, and about 45% of the disulfide bonds in the hair can be cut, this process is called softening.

By softening, the amino bonds in the hair are less elastic and the disulfide bonds are cut off, which changes the shape of the hair.

In the softened state, the disulfide bond in the hair becomes a monosulfide bond, which will move with the thickness and shape of the curl, and finally under the action of the second agent (styling agent) of the perm, the monosulfide bond and another adjacent monosulfide bond will form a new disulfide bond, so that the hair will change from straight hair to curly hair, which is the process of perming.

Straightening hair is literally easy to understand, straightening can be done with a hair dryer and a comb to straighten the hair, or with a special electric plate clip, the hair can be straightened. This process is customarily called straightening, and if it is only straightened by a hair dryer and an electric splint, it is temporary. If the softened hair is straightened with an electric splint, this practice is permanent.
