It has to do with the hair strands natural disulfide bonds being reduced and then re-oxidized after you have set hair in the desired curlers so that when the sulfide bonds reform they are in the shape that you want them to be.

It changes the comformation of the protein bonds in the hair connecting weak bonds that are closer together in the chain therefore making the hair curly.
