Science Stories:Why does the rain make my hair curly?|

This lesson explains why hair tends to become curly or frizzy on rainy days, focusing on the role of hair structure and the influence of humidity. It highlights that hair is primarily made of keratin, which contains strong disulfide bonds that determine its shape, and weaker hydrogen bonds that are affected by moisture in the air. When humidity increases, hair absorbs water, leading to temporary curls and frizz due to the formation of additional weak bonds, but these effects are short-lived as the hair returns to its original state once the air dries out.
