The Jennifer Aniston sedu hairstyles, made popular by Jennifer Aniston, is really a method of de-frizzing and straightening hair. The method involves the use of a heated flat iron. This flat iron usually has Tourmaline or ceramic plates to aid in straightening the hair.
Hair, as you may well know, is made up of a protein called keratin. Keratin is an extremely strong protein used to make skin, hair and nails. Depending on how strong the disulfide bonds are that the keratin contains will determine how hard or soft the keratin is. The wave or curl in hair is made possible by very strong disulfide bonds between hair proteins. Depending on the number of bonds will determine whether the hair is curly or straight. These bonds, however, can be broken at very high temperatures. As the disulfide bonds are broken, the hair straightens. However, this is only a temporary solution, as the new hair that grows will still contain the strong disulfide bonds.
Jennifer Aniston sedu hairstyles are made possible by the use of the sedu flat iron. The flat iron will heat up to very high temperatures, which will then break the strong disulfide bonds, while at the same time minimizing damage to the hair itself.
Protection of the hair is achieved in two ways:
First, thermal protection spray is sprayed over the hair before straightening and a straightening balm is used. The hair may also have been washed and conditioned with moisturizer prior to heat treatment.
Second, The sedu flat iron has Tourmaline plates, which emit negative ions. These negative ions protect the hair, leaving it looking soft, silky and smooth. Tourmaline, by the way, is actually a precious stone.
The shiny appearance of the hair is determined by the way the hair cuticles overlap. If they all overlap neatly, the light will reflect off the hair shaft, making it appear very shiny. If the cuticles do not overlap properly, the light will not be fully reflected off the hair, making it appear dull.
So, next time you see Jennifer Aniston with the latest sedu hair styles, you will know a little about how it was achieved.
