What Are The Chemicals Bond In Hair?

Posted by sleepyguy in Prescription Sleep Medicine on October 18th, 2009

If we have bindings in our hair, do we break them on a daily basis? The answer to this peculiar question is yes, we do break them. We break them when we touch our hair, we break them when we take a shower and we break them when we roll around in our sleep.

Nonetheless, a few strokes later our hair is back to its original look. After taking a shower and drying our hair, our strands magically fall back into their original orientation. After a strong gust of wind, we simply have to shake our heads and the hair style re-forms itself easily. Why is this?

This is due to chemical bonds that exist in the hair. Nature had been so detailed in designing hair that it even gave us a means to style our hairs naturally without harmful chemicals. Just what are these chemical bonds that naturally bind?

The 3 Chemicals Bond in Hair

1. Hydrogen Bonds

Like most chemical bonds, the bindings on our hairs are actually invisible to the naked eye. The first kind of binding are the hydrogen bonds. Why do we need hydrogen for healthy hair? First, hydrogen provides the hair a means to be as flexible as it can. Without hydrogen, our hair would be as stiff as twigs. You know what this means: the hair will break easier.

2. Salt Bonds

The second type of binding are called the salt bonds. True to its name, salt bonds are dependent on specific pH environments. These bindings are the most easily disposed of. Since the hair is continually under ‘assault’ from different chemicals, salt bonds are progressively weakened on a daily basis. If you wish to maintain your salt bonds, simply purchase a chemical normalizing solution for your hair.

3. Disulfide Bonds

The third type of binding are called the disulfide bonds. What makes disulfide bonds special and more important than the other two bonds mentioned before? Disulfide bonds are the actually the reason why the hair is intrinsically resistant to stresses. This is also the reason why plain old water can’t break hair that easily.

How to Naturally Curl Hair?

Do you want to naturally curl your hair without making use of harmful chemical agents? There is a way! The first thing that you should do is to wet your hair thoroughly from the roots in the scalp area to the very tips. Do this because hair is far more flexible when wet than when it is dry. Dry hair has the tendency to break without softening agents.

After wetting your hair, get six or seven rollers. Rollers are the oldest means to curl your hair, and the older generation would recognize these especially those who liked hot curls in the past decades. Now, curl your hairs using the plastic rollers. Keep the rollers on for most of the day.

Since the hydrogen bonds have been temporarily dispelled during the wetting of the hair, the reformation of the bonds would take place around the plastic rollers.

The police arrive at the accident scene promptly. A driver has run his automobile into a guardrail while exiting a highway. The driver does not seem to be injured but is somewhat incoherent and is slipping in and out of consciousness. Did he strike his head? Is he inebriated? Is he on drugs? A quick review of the driver’s attire reveals a medical alert bracelet that identifies him as a <a href=”http://www.onlinepharmacylist.net/102/1/Coumadin/”>Coumadin user. This is crucial information for those responding to the incident.

Coumadin (the brand name for Warfarin) is a medication that has offered protection from strokes, heart attacks, pulmonary embolisms other conditions resulting from blood clots. Coumadin is an anti-coagulant, or blood thinner, that helps to prevent the formation of blood clots. Those with certain heart conditions or who are subject to irregular blood clotting can benefit significantly from Coumadin. That’s the good news. The bad news is that Coumadin is a medication that must be carefully monitored to insure the correct balance in the user’s system to avoid serious complications.

Coumadin dosage is a very precise science and is determined by the specific condition being treated, certain characteristics of the person with the condition and the rate of clotting as determined by regular testing. In order to achieve the proper levels of Coumadin it may be necessary to take different doses each day. This requires that the user be very aware of the schedule and keep good records of dosage requirements and testing schedules.

Warfarin (generic Coumadin) was actually used as rat poison. Large doses of the compound caused rodents to hemorrhage internally and die. While the doses for humans are relatively miniscule, the dangers of excess bleeding are still a concern. The delicate balance of Coumadin in the system is the reason that many users will wear some form of medical alert identification. In the event of an emergency or an accident, attendants can readily identify a Coumadin user and attempt to discern whether to avoid certain other medications that may interact adversely with Coumadin. Emergency personnel can also determine if Coumadin may be the culprit.

There are many medical conditions and medications that can cause a situation or a reaction whereby a person cannot communicate. Conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes, food allergies and the use of medications like Coumadin can be easily and readily identified by wearing medical alert jewelry with the proper information engraved or stored. A small problem can become a large problem if someone takes the wrong course of action, or no action, based on a lack of information. A small, attractive, fashionable piece of jewelry can help you look sharp…and save your life.
