Lawsone's covalent bonding mechanism (michael addition to keratin cysteine thiols) is fundamentally different from synthetic oxidative hair dyes (which form new chromophores by oxidative coupling inside the hair shaft). lawsone reacts with exposed thiol groups primarily at the hair surface and cuticle, providing surface-level colour that is permanent (covalent bond) but can be stripped by bleaching or thiol-reducing treatments.
