Of course we're talking about keratin crosslinking as a result of the ultra-high cysteine content of this abundant cytoskeletal protein. It's pretty clear that blowers induce a different molecular conformational change resulting in a more persistent, water-resistant type of disulfide bridging, as opposed to the less rigid architecture induced in hot, humid hair by wearing a motorcycle helmet.
I was thinking the same thing, I think.
K so maybe I have peculiar hair. But my hair does tend to retain it's shape if I wear a hat for a few days, no amount of washing will get rid of the hat hair dent.
I part my hair on the side so now I have to deal with the hair on the short side flipping up, and kind of an odd bouffant around the rest. The bottom strap does not seem to have as much impact for some reason. The top strap is the culprit.
I have a simple shampoo, rinse and blow-dry routine. The new "style flips" and "bizarre bouffant" remain. I wouldn't really care about it, but all the pointing and laughing is kind of distracting, and that's before I even leave for work!
