A perm or permanent wave works by breaking, realigning and then reforming the disulphide bonds between the proteins in the hair. The reforming of these bonds cannot be perfect, so the hair becomes more brittle and weak. Some perms are more thorough than others at reforming the bonds, but all damage the structure of the hair to some degree.
