Hair is made of a-keratins. The hair perm process involves the changes of the structure of a-keratins in the hair. Briefly explain the purpose for each of the treatments performed (Step 1 to Step 4) during the hair perm process. Step 1: Hair is treated with a thiol reducing agent. Step 2: Hair from Step 1 is moist heated. Step 3: Treat the hair with diluted hydrogen peroxide as oxidizing agent. Step 4: Wash and cool the hair from Step 3.
