What services chemically change the hair's natural wave pattern?

Chemical texture services involve the use of chemical products to alter the hair's natural wave pattern. This includes processes like relaxing, perming, or wave techniques that introduce new shapes and textures to the hair. These treatments break down the disulfide bonds in the hair's cortex, allowing for a transformation in its structure, leading to either straighter or more curled textures depending on the desired result.

In contrast, thermal styling utilizes heat to change the hair temporarily, but it does not alter the hair's chemical structure permanently. Coloring services primarily affect the hue of the hair without altering its wave pattern or texture. Haircuts simply involve trimming the hair's length and shape, leaving the wave pattern unchanged.

Understanding these distinctions helps clarify the role of chemical texture services in reshaping hair's natural wave patterns compared to other hair care practices.
