Abstract
Thermal straightening of hair is a wide-spread consumer practice, which will impart
specific hair damage. For practically relevant, cumulative conditions of thermal
treatment (straightening iron, 200 oC, 100 - 800 s) untreated and oxidized (bleached)
hair were investigated by DSC in water to determine the time-dependent changes of
protein denaturation enthalpy (ΔHD) and temperature (TD). Assuming the standard two-
phase morphology, the parameters are associated in specific ways with the α-helical
proteins (ΔHD) in the intermediate filaments (IF) and their associated matrix (TD),
respectively. Both parameters show systematic decreases with treatment time with
synergistic effects of oxidation. The decrease can in all cases be described by a 1 st-order
type kinetic model. These predict that ΔHD, and thus the contents of α-helical material in
the IFs, will approach zero for longer times of thermal treatment. The half-life time for
the process is consistently about 20-25 min. A two-level, 1st-order approach shows that
TD approaches limiting lower values with comparatively short half-times (untreated: 5
min, oxidized: 1 min). The approaches thus succeed to provide specific kinetic models
for the thermal degradation in intermediate filaments (IFs) and matrix, including the
synergistic effects of bleaching. The kinetic approaches are expected to be useful in the
context of a range of further analytical investigations of thermal hair treatments.

1. Introduction
1.1 Practical context of the study
The well-established practice of treating slightly curly or frizzy European hair with flat,
heated ‘irons’ provides an effective grooming tool to achieve straighter hair.
Due to the relevance of this grooming practice in the market place, the expert working
group ‘Hair Care Products’ of the DGK (Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Wissenschaftliche
und Angewandte Kosmetik e.V.) has been conducting a comprehensive study to
contribute to our understanding of the objective as well as subjective changes of
European hair through thermal straightening. Part of the study has been an extensive
consumer survey.
The study shows that the majority of consumers applies temperature settings on their
devices between 150oC and 190oC, where there seems to be an acceptable trade-off
between styling effects and undesirable hair changes (1, 2).
1.2 Structural and molecular basis of non-permanent hair deformation
Human hair, similar to all other α-keratinous fibres, exhibits a complex set of structures
from the microscopic down to the molecular level (3). The two main morphological
components on the microscopic scale are the cuticle, as outer protective layers, and the
fibre core (cortex). Due to the limited amount of cuticle (approx. 10%) a specific
contribution is usually neglected in the context of mechanical and thermal analyses. The
cortex, in a first but rather plausible and successful approximation, going back to
Feughelman (4), is described as a two-phase, filament/matrix composite.

In this model the intermediate filaments (IFs) or rather their α-helical structures are the
filaments and the matrix consists of the IF-associated proteins (IFAPs). Applying the
model for the whole fibre, the term ‘matrix’ is extended to comprise all amorphous fibre
components, that is IFAPs as well as the cuticle and other minor components, such as
the cell membrane complex. For specific experimental contexts, (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) more
complex models are necessary for satisfactory data analysis and discussion.
The straightening effects of the heat treatment are primarily due to ‘cohesive set’
relating to the breakage and reformation of hydrogen bonds in the hair proteins (11, 12,
13, 14). The rearranged bond network is reasonably stable until exposure to humid
conditions or washing (1, 15, 16). This lack of stability is due to the sensitivity of the
hydrogen bonds to moisture, as reflected in the humidity dependent glass transition and
viscoelastic properties of keratin fibres, such as human hair (13, 17, 18, 19). A related
practice uses curved heated surfaces to impart more or less pronounced curls to straight
hair.
Hair straightening or other heat treatments at moderate or high temperatures may impart
extensive changes to the various morphological components of human hair (20, 21, 22,
23, 24, 25). In practice about 190oC are considered as a viable compromise between the
straightening results and hair damage (26, 27). However, in order to achieve faster and
longer lasting grooming results, higher temperatures are available in straightening
devices (28), which approach (≈ 210oC) or even enter (≈ 230oC) the range of keratin
denaturation and pyrolysis in dry hair (20, 29, 30, 31).

1.3 Basis of the study and objectives
The material for the study consisted of commercial, brown hair tresses in their natural as
well as in strongly oxidized (bleached) form. The tresses were treated with a
commercial straightening device set to 200 oC for cumulative times of 100 s, 300 s, and
800 s, respectively. A group consensus had been reached that this would be expected to
represent roughly 2, 6, and 16 months of normal grooming practice. The temperature is
somewhat above the usual practical range, but still well below the pyrolysis range (20,
29, 30, 31) and was chosen to increase the probability that effects would in fact be
detectable, while avoiding the excessive temperature range (up to 230 oC).
Though effects of cohesive set, being related to the humidity-dependent glass transition
of hair (19) are expected to be fully reversible, it is nevertheless expected that practical
relevant heat treatments of human hair, namely with repeated use, will impart a variety
of substantial, cumulative and irreversible changes to human hair.
Here we report investigations of untreated and oxidized hair samples by Differential
Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) in water. This method specifically enables to assess
changes of the thermal stability of the main morphological components in the two-
component composite structure of the cortex of hair (4), namely, of the helical proteins
in the IFs and of the amorphous matrix (32, 33, 34).
The objective is to develop generally applicable approaches to model the time-
dependence of the parameter changes for a representative treatment temperature. These
will be linked to changes of the thermal stability of IFs and IFAPs and will furthermore
enable the assessment of the synergism of the oxidative pre-treatment.

2. Materials and Methods
Hair material: Commercial, Caucasian mixed hair, untreated, medium brown (Kerling,
Backnang, Germany) was used for the investigations, in what follows referred to as
‘natural’. The hair was in the form of tresses (19 cm long, 1.5 cm wide). An overall
number of 12 tresses was split into two groups. The first group was left chemically
untreated, while the second group was subjected to a bleaching process twice
(bleached).
Chemical treatment: The bleaching process (hair oxidation) was performed by
applying a commercial product (Wella, Darmstadt, Germany) based on an alkaline
solution (pH 10.5) of hydrogen peroxide (9%) and ammonium persulfate, applied for 30
min and at room temperature. This treatment was followed by rinsing and air-drying.
The treatment was repeated after a 24 h rest period.
Thermal treatment: Prior to the thermal treatment the hair was washed with 10%
sodium laurylether sulphate (SLES) solution, rinsed and dried by pressing between
paper towels. On these initially ‘towel-dry’ tresses the thermal treatment was applied,
using a commercial straightening iron set to a digital reading of 200 oC. The authors are
well aware that this is a nominal temperature. However in view of the objectives of the
study, no steps were taken at this stage to determine the actual temperature on the
surface or inside the tress, which is, however, expected to be reasonably homogeneous
(21). To control the conditions of the treatment, a tress was clamped into a tensile
testing machine (Instron, UK) and drawn through the iron such that a total contact time
along the tress of 1.67 s was achieved for each pass. For two tresses each, from the

groups of untreated as well as bleached tresses, total contact times of 60, 300, and 800 s
were realized through repetitions. In view of practical modes of applying thermal
straightening, after 30 repetitions each tress was washed, brought to a towel-dry state
and the thermal treatment procedure was restarted.
DSC-measurements: All investigations by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
were carried out in water, for reasons described elsewhere (33, 35) The measurements
were conducted on a power-compensated instrument (DSC-7, Perkin-Elmer, USA),
using stainless steel, large volume pans, which are pressure resistant up to 25 bar. The
temperature range was 50–190 oC with a heating rate of 10 K min-1. From the hair
tresses small subsamples were taken (approx. 100 hairs) and cut into snippets, about
2mm in length. The snippet samples were stored under standard room conditions and
would thus contain about 12% of water (3, 36, 37). Under these conditions hair snippets
(4-7 mg) were weighed into the DSC-pans and 50 μl of water added. The pans were
sealed and stored overnight prior to the DSC-measurement. Data obtained from the
measurement were denaturation temperature TD (peak location) and denaturation
enthalpy ΔHD (determined from the peak area on the basis of a linear baseline). No
corrections were applied with respect to the water content of the material. For each hair
type 22 data pairs were acquired across the experimental time range. Data analyses were
conducted using SPSS (Version 20, IBM Corp., 2011) and Statistica (Version 13, Dell
Software, 2015).

Codes for samples: According to the various steps of preparation, samples are coded as
follows:
N0 = natural hair, no thermal treatment (0 s)
N1 = N0 + 100 s cumulative thermal treatment
N2 = N0 + 300 s
N3 = N0 + 800 s
For oxidized, bleached hair sample coding is analogous (B0 – B3).
3. Results and Discussion
3.1 General Observations
After the heat treatment the tresses in the two groups were investigated with respect to
their denaturation performance by DSC in water. Figure 1 gives a typical DSC curve for
the natural material (commercial, untreated Caucasian human hair). Upon oxidation, the
peak becomes smaller and moves to lower temperatures (34).

Figure 1: Typical DSC curve for untreated Caucasian hair in water with a linear
baseline (heating rate: 10 K min-1). As indicated, the peak location signifies the
denaturation temperature TD, while the area gives the denaturation enthalpy ∆HD. The
inset shows the two-phase model (adapted from Ref.4) and illustrates the connection
between the DSC-parameters and the structural components.
DSC-curves for hair in water generally show a single peak with the general occurrence
of asymmetry or even a more or less prominent shoulder to higher temperatures. The
peak location as such, that is the denaturation temperature TD is generally associated
with the properties and, namely, the viscosity of the matrix, which kinetically controls
the denaturation of the alpha-helical material in the IFs, while the enthalpy ΔHD relates
to the energy required for this denaturation (31, 32). The assumption of a linear baseline
is an adequate simplification for the current investigation in view of the smallness of the
heat capacity change which is underlying the denaturation transition (31).

The asymmetry of the DSC-peak is attributed to the inhomogeneity of the cortex on the
cellular level, containing two major cells groups (ortho- and para-type-cells) with
different thermal performance (31, 38). The fractions of these cell groups, as well as
that of a further minor cell type, may be estimated by deconvolution of the DSC-curves,
as has recently been shown (39).
Figure 2 summarizes the results for the denaturation temperature and enthalpy for
thermally treated (200 oC) natural and oxidized hair samples, respectively. Figures 2A
and 2B show for both denaturation temperature and enthalpy generally a systematic
decrease with increasing time of exposure to the thermal treatment. For both parameters
values are off-set to lower values through the bleaching treatment, in line with previous
investigations (33, 34).

Since TD and ΔHD are assumed to be related to the properties of matrix and IFs,
respectively, plotting the parameter values against each other, as realized in Figure 3, is
an especially straightforward first step (33) to assess a potentially differentiating effect
of the thermal treatments. In view of the comparatively high precision of TD, this
parameter was chosen as independent variable for the plots.

and oxidized hair. The linear regression line through the data for natural hair is given.
The curved lined for oxidized hair is purely empirical and meant to emphasize the
apparent non-linear relationship.
Figure 3 shows the systematic and correlated decrease for TD and ΔHD for both types of
hair. For natural hair the data are well fitted by a straight line (Coefficient of

Determination, R2=0.89). The linear relationships implies that for natural hair thermal
treatment leads to equivalent changes to IFs and matrix, which are associated with
thermally induced structural damage.
The suggested non-linear relationship for oxidized hair indicates for lower TD -values,
that is for longer thermal treatment times, a faster drop for the denaturation enthalpy.
This may at first sight be interpreted as a specific sensitivity of the IFs in bleached hair
towards the thermal treatment. However, this deduction is not supported by the further
more detailed analysis of the data in what follows, which rather indicate a lower
limiting value for TD. Such non-linearity in the ΔHD vs. TD relationship, though into the
opposite direction, has previously been observed for hair after reductive + oxidative
treatment (permanent waving or straightening) (33).
3.2 One-step kinetic analyses
Though the results in Figures 2A and 2B are presented on what is essentially an ordinal
scale, the course of the data may be taken to suggest a generally exponential decay for
both TD and ΔHD. To progress beyond the essentially empirical considerations
underlying Figure 3, it is assumed in a first analysis step that in line with previous
investigations (33, 40):
TD = TD0 exp (- aT t) (1)
and
ΔHD = ΔHDo exp (- aH t) (2)
so that

ln TD = ln TD0 - aT t (3)
and
ln ΔHD = ln ΔHDo - aH t (4)
TD0 and ΔHD
o are the denaturation temperature and enthalpy, respectively, prior to the
thermal treatment and t is the treatment time. If Equation 3 applies, the data should form
a straight line in a ln TD vs t plot with an intercept of ln TD0 and a slope of –aT. Figure
4A shows the appropriate plot for both natural and oxidized hair. The analogous applies
for ΔHD according to Equation 4 with an intercept of ln ΔHDo and a slope of –aH (see
Figure 4B).

The linear fit for denaturation temperature is good for natural hair but actually quite
poor for oxidized hair. For the denaturation enthalpy the fit is again good for natural
hair, but less so, but still highly significant well beyond the 95%-level, for oxidized
hair. This is attributed to the decrease of data precision for longer treatment times, that
is for smaller ΔHD –values, in the latter case.
As qualitatively suggested by the overlap of the standard errors for the aH-values (see
Table 1), it can be shown (41) that the slopes of the lines in Figure 4B are not

significantly different on the 95%-level (0.1 > p > 0.05). The common slope for both
lines is aH = 4.8 * 10-4 s-1.
From the equality of the slopes and assuming the denaturation enthalpy to be a property
of the helical material in the IFs, it can be concluded that the oxidative pre-treatment
systematically lowers the enthalpy compared to the natural material. However, by itself
the oxidative pre-treatment has no accelerating effect on the further development of
thermally induced damage in this structural component of hair, as may have possibly
been expected.
The behaviour of TD in this respect is different from ΔHD, in that the slopes for the lines
in Figure 4A are significantly different (p<0.05). For natural hair TD appears to decrease
faster with time than for oxidized hair. With TD considered to be associated with the
viscosity of the matrix and thus its cross-link density through disulphide bonds (32, 33),
the decrease of TD reflects a decrease of the concentration of these bonds with thermal
treatment time. In practice this corresponds to the slight sulphide smell when thermally
treating, namely, wet hair. Oxidation reduces the concentration of disulphide bonds
through breakage of cystin and the formation of cysteic acid (3). This changes the
course of the thermally induced damage in the matrix.
To proceed beyond the very general considerations underlying Equations 1-4 and based
on previous investigations (33, 34, 40) it is assumed that the value of ΔHD is related to
the amount of unchanged α-helical material in the IFs of hair, so that the relative helix
content HXrel is given by:

HXrel = ΔHD/ ΔHD0 (5)
Combining Equations 2 and 5 yields:
HXrel = exp (- kH t) (6)
where kH is the rate constant of the process at 200 °C and, in view of Equation 2, is
equal to aH. Equation 6 is in fact the integrated 1st-order rate law for the decrease of the
amount of native α-helix content in hair during the thermal treatment. Similar 1 st-order
processes have been observed for the thermally induced chemical changes in wool (42)
and hair (43).
As outlined above, the slopes of the lines in Figure 4B and thus the reaction rate
constants kH,200°C (= aH) are not statistically significantly different for natural and
oxidized hair. From the common value for kH = 4.8*10-4s-1 we can calculate the mean
half-life time of the α-helical material under 200 °C thermal treatment t1/2, 200°C = ln(2)/kH
~ 1400 s, with an obviously substantial error range (see Table 1). This means that under
the chosen thermal conditions (straightening iron, intermittently wet hair, nominally 200
oC) 50% of the α-helical material in untreated as well as oxidized hair has become
undetectable by DSC roughly after 20-25 min of cumulative treatment. This effect is
attributed to thermally induced cross-linking and/or denaturation in the IFs. The course
of the process is independent of chemical hair pre-treatment.

3.3 Two-level kinetics for denaturation temperature
The empirical approach to analyse the time-dependent changes of TD (Equations 1 and
3) is of limited success (see Table 1). However, a model-based approach, equivalent to
Equation 6, cannot directly be applied for TD, since the denaturation temperature will
not approach zero at long times, but a finite value (see Figure 2), which may be
approached well outside the experimental time range. This consideration suggests the
application of a two-level process, in which TD decreases from the initial value TD0 to a
final value TD∞ according to a 1st-order process, leading in analogy to Equation 6 to:
TD = TD∞ + (TD
0 – TD∞) exp (-kT t) (7)
where kT is the rate constant for the TD-drop between TD0 and TD
∞. Parameter values for
Equation 7 were determined through non-linear regression analysis (SPSS, IBM) and
are summarised in Table 2.
The results of the non-linear fit according to Equation 7 predict a substantial, but in
effect rather limited, ultimate decrease of the denaturation temperature for natural hair
by 9.3 oC from 154.9 oC to 145.6 oC. This decrease, for the chosen 200 °C
treatment conditions, is in general agreement with the results of Zhou et al. (28). The
difference between temperature levels (see Equation 7) is expected to become more
pronounced for higher treatment temperatures. There is also an expectation for a
synergistic effect of hair water content (40, 44).

Values are given with their 95% confidence ranges. t1/2 = ln(2)/kT is the mean half-life
time for the 200 °C treatment. R2 is the coefficient of determination of the fit.

R2 0.981 0.939
The treatment time to achieve half of the TD-drop is estimated to be about 5 min. This is
much faster than the damage development for ΔHD, that is in the IFs. The decrease of TD
for bleached hair is smaller with 6.5 oC from 140.6 oC to 134.1 oC, arriving at a
substantially lower TD∞ (134.1 oC). This is attributed to the lower start concentration of
cystine cross-links in the pre-oxidized hair.
Figure 5 gives the TD-values and their fit on the basis of the parameter values in Table 2.

Figure 5: Denaturation temperature values TD for natural and oxidized hair vs.
treatment time at 200 °C. The solid lines through the data are based on Equation 7,
applying the parameter values in Table 2.
In contrast to the empirical 1st-order fit (see Table 1), the more realistic two-level model
(see Table 2) now shows, that the decrease of TD between its limiting values is in fact
substantially faster for oxidized (t1/2, 200°C = 1.1 min) compared to natural hair (t1/2, 200°C =
4.8 min). For both types of samples the final value of TD (TD∞) is essential reached
within the experimental time range of the thermal treatment (800 s). Oxidized hair thus
exhibits not only pre-damage in the matrix but is also prone to much faster thermal
damage development in this component, in pronounced contrast to the performance of
the IFs. This highlights the special, chemical and thermal sensitivity of the disulphide
bonds, which are concentrated in the matrix proteins.

4. Conclusions
For the example of a single, rather high, but still practically relevant application
temperature, the development of the changes in IFs and matrix as the two main
morphological components of hair was investigated by DSC in water. It is shown that
the analytical approach enables the detection of specific types of damage and their
development with treatment time within the two components.
Analysing the data through two stages, it is shown for both natural and oxidized hair
that denaturation temperature and enthalpy decrease with thermal treatment time,
essentially according to 1st-order kinetics. While ΔHD is expected to go to zero, TD is
plausibly predicted to assume a finite value for the chosen treatment conditions (200 oC)
largely within the maximum treatment time of 800 s. The decrease of the parameter
values is considerably faster for TD, that is for the matrix properties, than for ΔHD (IFs)
and accelerated by the oxidative pre-treatment. Oxidation thus induces specific
synergistic effects for the development of thermal damage in the morphological
components. The various aspects of the analyses emphasize the need for plausible
kinetic models to reliably systematize the data.
It is, namely, the cumulative damage in the IFs, which is expected to reduce the ability
of a hair fibre to recover from the imposed deformation and will thus lead to permanent
effects through thermal straightening (1, 45, 46). A strict relationship between
permanent straightening effect and denaturation of the helical material in the IFs, as
reflected in a decrease of the denaturation enthalpy, has been shown for the relaxation
of African hair (47, 48).

Against the background of earlier research (40), it is suggested that the theoretical
models to describe the time-dependent decrease of denaturation enthalpy as well as
temperature will be generally applicable and are expected to enable the systematic
analysis and possibly even prediction of the damage formation in hair at other
temperatures, measured by DSC or other analytical approaches, including the expected
synergistic contributions of hair moisture content. These aspects are part of a wider
investigation to further understand and assess hair damage from thermal treatment, as
well as to develop reliable tools to determine the efficacy of protective ingredients and
products.
