Uhm bc it chemically changed the structure of your hair it won't hold a curl. I could explain it in detail but probably loose you in the process of all the chemistry talk and such lol.

No shelby I fully understand that the formaldehyde and sodium hydroxide in the smoothing system breaks down the bonds and loosens the curls, the protein coats the hair and penetrates the cuticle thus sealing it and making it lay flat. its just that I didn't think it would be that effective lol.
