Hair relaxation after shaping – A kinetic approach
S. Breakspear,
B. Noecker,

Abstract:OBJECTIVEHair fibres have been shaped via either a thermal route or via a chemical route. The time‐relaxation transients of the shaped hairs in air, and in water, respectively, were evaluated. The collected data were kinetically modelled in order to reveal information about the rate controlling mechanism of the recovery process.METHODSHair fibres were thermally shaped at different temperatures between heated plates and left to relax in an environment of controlled humidity and temperature. Different hair fibre… Show more
