Human hair is primarily composed of amino acids, and its texture is largely influenced by cysteine, an amino acid that contains sulfur. The Onyx formula penetrates the hair fiber and temporarily modifies the sulfur-based bonds in cysteine. This process allows the hair to be reshaped during flat ironing, which aligns and smooths the strands. A neutralizing step with conditioner then stabilizes the hair in its new, straighter form, leaving it manageable, shiny, and smooth.
