Many of us have used a reconstructor without really knowing what it does and why it works so well. A reconstructor is basically a deep conditioner that contains polymers. Polymers are large molecules composed of repeating structural units (or building blocks) often connected by covalent chemical bonds (the process that attracts atoms and molecules). A popular type of polymer is protein, of course!
So, how does a reconstructor work, you say? It works by penetrating and filling in the gaps on the surface of the hair strand (see the image above). Temporarily, of course. It's sort of like putting ointment on a fresh cut. It only protects it temporarily before dissolving away because of wear and tear, right? That's how a reconstructor works!

Good explanation. I wonder why it makes some hair dry though?

I honestly believe that the reason for the dryness would be that fact that reconstructors are filled with hydrolyzed proteins. I always follow up a reconstructor with a moisturizing conditioner rinse.
