Term
Chemical Hair Texture services
Definition
Gives you the abiliity to permanently change the hair's natural wave pattern.
Term
Chemical texture services include these 3 things.
Definition
Permanent waving; adding wave or curl to the hair.
Relaxing; Removing curl, leaving it smooth and wave-free.
Curl Re-forming; (soft curl permanents) Loosening overly curly hair, such as turning curls into loose curls or waves.
Term
Cuticle
Definition
Tough exterior layer of hair. It surround the inner layers, and protects the hair from damage.
Term
Cortex
Definition
Middle layer of hair, located directly beneath the cuticle layer. It is responsibly for the incredible strength and elasticity of human hair.
Term
Medulla
Definition
Innermost layer of hair and is often called the pith or core of the hair. Does not play a role in chemical service and may be missing in fine hair.
Term
pH means
Definition
potential of hydrogen
Term
pH scales measures the
Definition
acidity and alkalinity of a substance measuring the quanity of hydrogen ions it contains.
Term
A pH of 7 is
Definition
neutral
Term
A pH below 7 is
Definition
acidic
Term
A pH above 7 is
Definition
alkaline
Term
Chemical texturizers raise the pH of the hair to an alkaline state in order to
Definition
soften and swell the ahir shaft.
Term
Keratin proteins are made of long chains of
Definition
amino acids linked together end to end like beads. The chemical bond the link amino acids together are called peptide bonds or end bonds. These chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds are called polypeptides.
Term
Hair is made up of
Definition
keratin proteins
Term
Amino acids are the building blocks of
Definition
protein
Term
Amino acids are compounds made up of
Definition
carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen.
Term
Peptide bonds or end bonds are
Definition
linked amino acids together end to end in long chains like bead to form a polypeptide bonds or end bonds.
Term
Polypeptide chains are
Definition
long chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds or end bonds.
Term
Keratin proteins are
Definition
long, coiled polypeptide chains.
Term
Side bond (disulfide, salt, and hydeogen bonds) cross-link
Definition
polypeptide chains together
Term
Disulfide bonds are
Definition
strong chemical side bonds formed when the sulfur atoms in two adjacent protein chains are joined together. They can only be chemically broken. The account for 1/3 of the hairs overall strength.
Term
Salt bonds
Definition
Are weak physical side bonds that are the result of an attraction between neg. and pos. electrical charges. They are easily broken by change in pH, and re-form when the pH is returned to normal. They account for 1/3 of the hair's strength.
Term
Hydrogen bonds
Definition
Are weak physical side bonds that are also the result of an attraction between opposite electical charges. They are easily broken by water (wet settings), or heat (themal styling), and re-form as the ahir dries or cools. They also account for 1/3 of the hair's total strength. Physical changes.
Term
In a client consultation ask open-ended questions and
Definition
find out what type of coloring product (if any) is currently being used. This is essential since certain types of haircolor agents especially those containing metallic salts should not be used on permed hair.
Term
Metallic salts leave a coating on the hair that my cause
Definition
uneven curls, severe discoloration, or hair breakage. They are more commonly found in men's haircolors that are sold for home use. Perform a metallic salt test if you suspect they've been used.
Term
In a scalp analysis look for
Definition
cuts, scratches, open sores, redness, or flaking. Don't proceed with service if any are present.
Term
When performing a hair analysis look for
Definition
texture, density, porosity, elasticity and growth direction.
Term
Hair texture describes
Definition
the diameter of a single strand of hair and is classified as coarse, medium, or fine. It differs from strand to strand on the sames person's head. It is determined by feeling a single dry strand between the fingers from the top, sides, and back of head.
Term
Coarse hair texture usually required
Definition
more processing that med. or fine hair. and is usually more resistant to that processing. It requires a thorough and careful chemical application to ensure success.
Term
Medium hair
Definition
Is the most common hair texture.
Term
Fine hair is more fragile, easier to process and
Definition
more susceptible to damage from a chemical service. Treating it gently during the entire chemical process is essential for healthy beautful results.
Term
Hair porosity is the
Definition
ability of the hair to absorb moisture. The degree of it is directly related to the condition of the cuticle layer. Classified as resistant, normal, or porous.
Term
Resistant hair has
Definition
a tight, compact cuticle layer that resists penetration. Requires a more alkaline texturizer.
Term
Hair with normal porosity
Definition
is neither resistant nor overly porous.
Term
Overly porous hair
Definition
has a raised cuticle layer that easily absorbs moisture and chemicals.
Term
Wet hair with low elasticity does not
Definition
return to its original length when stretched.
Term
Perment waving is a two step process
Definition
first is the pysical change and second is the chemical change.
Term
Concave rods are the most common
Definition
type of perm rod used.
Term
Perm solution
Definition
soften and swells the hair.
Term
Neutralizer
Definition
Shrinks and hardens hair.
Term
Straight rods are
Definition
equal in diameter and produces a uniform curl.
Term
End papers or end wraps
Definition
are aborbent papers used to conrtol the ends of the hair when wrapping and winding hair on the perm rods.
Term
Double flat wrap
Definition
uses two end papers
Term
Single flat wrap
Definition
uses one paper on top of the strand being wrapped.
Term
All perms begin with sections hair into
Definition
panels
Term
Base sections
Definition
Each panel is further divided into subsections called
Term
Base placement
Definition
Refers to the position of the rod in relation to its base section and is determined by the angle at which the hair is wrapped. Can be on base, 1/2 off base, or off base.
Term
On base placement the hair is wrapped
Definition
45 degrees beyond perpendicular.
Term
Half off-base placement refers to wrapping the hair
Definition
at a 90 degree angle or straight out from the center of the section. It minimizes stress and tension on the hair.
Term
Off-base placement refers to wrapping the hair
Definition
at 45 degrees below the center of the base section. Creates the least volume and results in a curl pattern that begins farthest away from the scalp.
Term
Base direction refers to
Definition
the angle which the rod is poistioned on the head: horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. It also refers to the direction the hair is wrapped.
Term
Croquingnole perms are wrapped from
Definition
the ends to the scalp in overlapping concentric layers.
Term
Spiral perm wrap the hair is wrapped
Definition
at an angle other than perpendicular to the length of the rod.
Term
Reduction
Definition
Once in the cortex, the waving solution breaks the disulfide bonds through chemical reaction called this.
Term
Thioglycolic acid is a
Definition
colorless liquid with a strong, unpleasent odor, is the most common reducing agent.
Term
Ammonium thioglycolate (ATG)
Definition
The addition of ammonia to thio acid produces a new chemical called this. It is the active ingredient or reducing agent in alkaline permanents.
Term
Alkaline waves or cold waves.
Definition
The first of these were developed in 1941. Most alkaline waves have a pH between 9.0 and 9.6
Term
Glyceryl monothioglycolate or GMTG
Definition
is an acid with a low pH. Although this is the primary reducing agent in all acid waves, it may not be the only reducing agent.
Term
Acid balanced waves
Definition
process more quickly and produces firmer curls than true acid waves.
Term
Exothermic waves
Definition
create an exothermic chemical reaction that heats up the solution and speeds up the processing.
Term
Endothermic waves
Definition
are activated by an outside heat source.
Term
Ammonia free waves used an ingredient that
Definition
does not evaporate as readily as ammonia, so very little odor is associated with their use.
Term
Thio free waves
Definition
use an ingredient other than ATG as the primary reducing agent. The most common rely on cysteamine or mercaptamine.
Term
Low pH waves
Definition
The use of sulfates, sulfites and bisulfites present an alternative to ATG know as
Term
The amount of processing should be determined by
Definition
the strength of the solution, and not necessarily how long the perm processes.
Term
In permanent waving most of the processing takes place
Definition
as soon as the solution penetrates the hair, within the first 5-10 minutes.
Term
Over processing usually happens in the
Definition
first 5 to 10 minutes.
Term
If too many disulfide bonds are broken
Definition
the ahir may not have enough strength left to hold the desired curl.
Term
Under processed hair usually has
Definition
very weal curl, but it may also be straight. Straighter at top than bottom.
Term
Thio neautralization
Definition
stops the action of the waving solution and rebuilds the hair into its new curly form.
Term
Neutralization performs two important functions.
Definition
any waving solution that remains on the hair is deactivated and disulfide bonds that were broken are rebuilt.
Term
Proper rinsing the hair the after permanent has processed
Definition
removes any remaining perm solution prior to applying the neutralizer. To avoid scalp irritation and unwanted lighting or hair color, always rinse the solution from the hair for at least 5 minutes and then blot with towels to remove as much moisture as possible. Excess water left in the hair reduceds the effectiveness of the neutralizer.
Term
Neutralization rebuilds the disulfide bonds by removing "extra" what
Definition
hydrogen
Term
Base control
Definition
The position of the tool in relation to its base section, determined by the angle at which the hair is wrapped.
Term
Weave technique
Definition
This uses zigzag partings to divide base areas.
Term
Double rod technique is also called a
Definition
piggyback
Term
Preliminary test curl
Definition
help you determine how your client's hair will react to a perm. Wrap one rod in ea. different area of the head. Top, side and nape.
Term
Male clients get perms for
Definition
added texture, fullness, style, and low maintenance
