The bonds are elongated.
The bonds are compressed.
How is temporary curl and movement in hair formed according to the text?
By permanently breaking the disulphide bonds.
By elongating the bonds on the outside of the curl and compressing them on the inside.
By applying heat to the hair.
By changing the hair to beta keratin state.
What happens to the hydrogen bonds and salt bonds in the hair when it is stretched or styled into a new temporary shape?
They are permanently broken
They are temporarily realigned and are in beta keratin state
They become stronger and unbreakable
They are unaffected and remain in alpha keratin state
What is used to harden the bonds into their new shape after styling hair?
Warm air
Water
Cool air
Hair products
How does the hair hold its new form after being styled?
By forming new hydrogen and salt bonds
By permanently changing the hair structure
By using hair products to maintain the shape
The newly styled hair holds its new form longer because the bonds are contracted into their new temporary shape
