Synopsis It has been established after conducting an X‐ray diffraction study of the structure of hair treated with the thioglycolic acid solution that the preferable location of thioglycolic acid molecules should be the intrafibrillar unordered areas. Based on this fact it has been concluded that the redistribution of disulphide bonds of hair occurs mainly in the mentioned above areas when treated with thioglycolic acid solution.
