Hi saddos and non-LARPers what are you up to these evening?
I'm gonna do a little light housework and go to bed, rock and of roll!
I might even wrap a few birthday presents if the excitement gets too much.

I must be a saddo then, that's about right. I have a cup of tea and later I might read some Tolstoy because right now everything Russian is brilliant.

And I'm guessing that the stuff they used probably wasn't too far removed from Hydrogen Peroxide - rocket propellant, very unstable, rejected by NATO but used by the Eastern Block until Kursk.

The first is breaking down the hair's structure with a waving lotion containing reducing agent (usually thioglycollic acid), which is almost as dangerous in its own right. The second is fixing it in place with a neutraliser containing an oxidising agent (usually, as you say, hydrogen peroxide).
Chemical straighteners ("relaxers") use caustic soda - which is more typically used to unblock drains or shift really stubborn grease.

But wouldn't thioglycollic acid in thermite make a basic explosive?
If I'd put my granny head down in an improvised tube I could probably have set a trajectory and fired her at Morecambe.

No, no,
Head down on Malcolm, not Morecombe. He does the aiming. Cos yer granny can't see where her erse is aiming.
(, Tue 23 Oct 2012, 21:13, Reply)
But the thioglycollic acid would have been inactivated when they put the neutraliser on, so your granny's hair was unlikely to have made a good explosive - unless they made a total hash job of it.
(, Tue 23 Oct 2012, 21:15, Reply)
The Eastern Block used Hydrogen Peroxide routinely as missile propellant and even submarine propellant.
I reckon I could have got her to Burnley with that.
Thermite and thiogloccic makes a loud but localised bang - railway detonators.

Not in torpedos any more. Many years ago I took the safe handling course for HTP - it's very nasty stuff - over 90% H2O2! The peroxide in hair products is extremely tame in comparison, about 3-5%.

Hate to disagree, winders but when I were a lad everybody, well, lots, did it. I once got warned for riding a horse while drunk. There wasn't an offence to cover it apparently. The bobby wanted to get me incarcerated for a very long time.
Now folk get jailed for a second offence. Involving a car, that is.
