Hair Straighteners - some facts...
Here's the science bit which you might find interesting...
Your hair contains hydrogen bonds in its cortex, and it's these that make hair wavey and curly, and give it shape. When these hydrogen bonds become broken down your hair loses its natural appearance, natural form and flattens out, but these bonds can come together again when your hair is wetted.
