Study Notes
High Lift Tints and Bleach Application
- In virgin lightening, high lift tints and bleach are applied away from the scalp to achieve even porosity and color.
- When using high lift/high volume virgin tint, begin the application away from the scalp and up to the ends.
- For virgin bleach on the hair, start the application 1/2 inch away from the scalp and 1 inch from the ends.
- For virgin tints going darker, start applying 1/2 inch from the scalp until 1/2 inch from the ends
- Applied away from the scalp initially in virgin bleach/ high-lift tint to avoid scalp burns
- Sub-partings in a bleach application should be a minimum of 1/8 inch
- To reduce the strength of hydrogen peroxide, distilled water is utilized
- It's recommended to use cool water when rinsing a decolorizer to avoid tangling
- Decolorizing is also known as bleaching
- When decolorizing hair, strand tests are performed to test porosity and elasticity
Corrective Actions for Hair Color
- To correct a greenish cast in blonde hair, the simplest way involves using red
- Should a strand test reveal too much orange, do not add a warm toner to correct
- A strand test with too much yellow can be corrected using a violet toner
- A yellowish cast in hair could be camouflaged by using a bluing rinse
Hair structure
- All permanent chemical reactions occur in the cortex layer of the hair
- Hair is best decolorized when dry
Chemical Processes
- Para-phenylene-diamine is a synthetic organic compound from coal tar used to give color to hair dye and is the principal ingredient in semi, demi and permanent hair color
- A semi- or demi-permanent color deposits pigment and a aniline derivative tint color lifts and deposits pigment
- A high lift color with developer both lifts and deposits natural pigment
- Bleach with developer lifts natural pigment
- Dye solvent with developer lifts artificial pigment
- A deposit only color deposits pigment
- When H2O2 combines with aniline derivative tint, a chemical reaction occurs
- When removing a relaxer, the stylist should rinse with cool/ tepid water
- A "Lanthionine Bond" is formed when the hydroxide relaxers break the disulfide bond and it looses one atom of sulfur, these bonds can never be reformed
- A hydroxide relaxer removes on atom of sulfer from a disulfide bond through lanthionization
- If the relaxer is rinsed with cold water the relaxed hair may break, revert, or tangle
- In a permanent wave, neutralizers stop the action of the processing solution and reform broken bonds
- Chemical hair relaxers are alkaline
- Chemical relaxers are designed to break disulfide bonds of the hair
- Permanent waves also break disulfide bonds
- The action of perm solution on hair is to soften and swell
- Acid solutions will harden and shrink the hair
- Alkaline solutions will soften and swell on the hair and skin
- Shampooing, blow drying/curling irons, and brushing, will break hydrogen bonds
- A good chemical relaxer service includes rinsing well and acidic balanced shampoo to stop the relaxer's chemical action
- A thio relaxer is applied to damp hair
Allergic Reactions Safety
- Aniline derivative tints can be safely applied if the P.D test was negative and between 24-48 hours old.
- A positive reaction to a P.D. test indicates the client is allergic to the product
- If inflamed skin results from a patch test, it indicates a positive result condition called Dermatitis venenata
- An act/law requires a P.D test is the U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
- FDA mandates P.D. tests prior to using aniline tints.
- A positive patch test with inflamed skin is known as Dermatitis venenata
- Although anyone may decide an allergy, agency responsible is none of the above
Hair products and tools
- Applying higher volume H2O2 can cause burning of a client's scalp.
- The primary ingredient in most chemical relaxers is Sodium Hydroxide.
- Sodium Bromide or 2% Hydrogen Peroxide are used as a basic ingredient in most neutralizers
- Stylists use H2O2 as a catalyst, along with Activators, Boosters, and Protinators.
- Vigorous brushing or shampooing before any chemical service may result in chemical burns
- Metallic dyes may leave the hair unfit for further chemical services
- A product protecting the scalp from irritation in a "no-base" relaxer is that no scalp cream is applied
- The agency that regulates & approves the efficacy of products used for infection control is the EPA
- Certified colors don't need a P.D. Test
- You are not suppose to speed up bleach, by adding protinators, activators, or boosters.
- It is recommended to shampoo with tepid water to avoid tangling.
- In a chemical relaxer, you need to stop the action of processing solution.
- Pressing creams, oils, and other products designed to protect the hair, should be used on dry hair after shampoo
- No scalp protective base is needed for no-lye relaxer
- Thicker hair works better when you use the wider side of the comb, because you avoid over stretching.
- For sensitive scalps guandine relaxers is recommended and is marketed for sensitive scalps,
- Fine steel wool is the most appropriate when cleaning curling or pressing irons.
- Pressing comb wooden handles comb parts is Copper and Brass.
Hair Tints
- A tone lacking warm pigments is everything but silvery tones
- Henna is a vegetable tint
- Oxidative tints, also know as aniline derivative tints or penetrating dyes, contain known allergens so require a P.D test
- Aniline derivative tints are known as oxidative and penetrating dyes
- When using thermal tools, test the heat on a piece of white tissue paper is to avoid burning accidents
- Modern thermal irons often use "fine steel" to evenly distribute heat
- Certified colors are temporary
- The application of virgin tint going lighter, should begin where the hair is the darkest
- A virgin tint going darker should be applied to the lightest parts of the hair
- The application of virgin tints going darker should begin where the hair is lightest
- Permanent hair color contains para-phenylene-diamine but most certified colors do not
- If your clients almost entirely gray use formula at the front
- A "tint-back" from a lighter color, use a filler
pH Levels
- The normal pH range of human hair, skin, and nails is 4.5 - 5.5
- Average pH range of Ammonium Thioglycolate relaxer is 8.5-11.5
- The PH levels of neutralizers are usually acidic
- Average pH range of Sodium Hydroxide relaxer is 11.5 - 14
- Average pH range approximately of Sodium Hydroxide 11.5-14
- Average pH range of Acid waves is between 5.8-6.8
- Cold wave permanent wave solutions have a pH between 8.2 and 9.6.
- pH is Acid-Balanced range between 4.5 - 6.5
Relaxer Applications
- The stylist should begin the application of the chemical relaxer at the nape or most resistant area.
- The application of virgin sodium hydroxide relaxer is done 1/2 inch from scalp and 1 inch from ends
- When applying a virgin sodium hydroxide relaxer, apply 1/2 inch from the scalp to 1 inch from ends
- Do not treat hair previously relaxed with a sodium hydroxide product with a flat iron
- Discontinue use of Sodium Hydroxide if hair previously relaxed
- Sodium Hydroxide relaxer leaves that hair unfit for any chemical service
- Applying virgin thio relaxer the application should be 1/2 inch from both scalp and ends
- Use 1/8 inch partings when working with a Thio relaxer
- Relaxer application generally begins at the nape
- Don't add Aniline derivative color, alcohol or metallic dye if there is already any product:
- At the start of the perm make sure the cotton is removed.
- Mild relaxers should be used on thin, or damaged hair
- A first step for relaxer service is discussing with the client
- The basic ingredient for neutralize is H2O2 or Sodium bromide
- The basic ingredient for most chemical relaxers is Sodium Hydroxide.
- In a virgin hair that should be applied ½ inch from the scalp and ½ inch from the ends.
- Don't apply with permanent color if you have done Hydroxide that's flat ironed.
- When attempting to tint highly resistant hair you should use a pre-softener
- Applying a virgin relaxer, the relaxing product should be applied ½ inch from the scalp and ½ inch from the ends
Relaxer Safety
- Refrain from flat ironing hair previously treated with a sodium hydroxide product
- The chemical relaxer is to stop the action of the processing solution
- To remove relaxers from the hair and stop chemical actions, its necessary to rinse the hair and use an acid balanced shampoo
- If relaxer touches skin rinse gently with a moist towel
- Stretching the hair during application of relaxing cream will cause it to break
- If relaxer is left in too long hair can break or discolor
- A retouch relaxer should happen at 3 to 4 months
- In a chemical relaxer, the action of fixative and neutralizer, is to stop processing, reform broken bonds, and straighten hair
- If relaxer is rinsed in cold water the relaxed hair may break, revert, or tangle
- The best step in a chemical relaxer service is to discuss with the client.
- Avoid overlapping hair during a retouch relaxer service
- With chemically relaxed hair, it is best to use shears when cutting
Hair Porosity
- With extremely porous hair, a cosmetologist should probably use a filler
- Hair with good porosity will absorb products quickly and process quickly.
- Porosity is the hair's ability to absorb moisture
- A sign of good porosity is hair will absorb products easily and will usually process quickly
- Poor porosity means hair absorbs the least amount of moisture
Contradictions
- Permanent waves, chemical relaxers, decolorizing, and permanent hair coloring are all contraindicated with metallic salts.
- Hair that was relaxed with thioglycolate can never be treated with sodium
- Chemical relaxers and permanent wave solutions often cause smoking on the client's head if metallic dyes are on the hair
- Use pressing creams, oil, and products designed to protect the hair
- Permanent waves, chemical hair relaxers, decolorizing, and permanent hair coloring with metallic salts
- Aniline derivative tints are oxidative tints
- Avoid brushing hair prior to tinting unless doing a strand or P.D. test first
- Never overlap hair when doing a retouch relaxer.
- In a permanent wave procedure, the cotton should be removed before rinsing, and after saturation
Metallic Dyes
- Metallic dyes may leave the hair unfit for further chemical services and are classified as progressive hair dyes
- Testing for matallic contains is done by placing 20 vol H2O2 and 20 drops of ammonia, 30 minutes
Hair color
- Hair that is soft, fine and light decolorizes the fastest
- Temporary colors will not penetrate the cortex
- Certified colors are temporary and are FDA approved
- When clients have almost entirely gray hair the best to start is at front
- A tone lacking warm pigment includes everything but silvery tones
- The terms ash, smoky, and drab are interchangeable and refer to green, blue, or violet
- Henna is a vegetable tint
- Permanent colors, color rinses, and mousses contain certified colors
- A compound dye generally contains vegetable dyes
- After decolorizing a client's hair toner is used.
- The decolorization process is best done on hair that is dry
Governmental Agencies
- The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates and approves infection control products
- The agency that regulates & approves the efficacy of products used for infection control is the EPA
- The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates cosmetics in the US
- The FDA mandates P.D. tests prior to using aniline tints.
- The agency enforces health and safety standards in the workplace OSHA.
Hair relaxing and straightening
- A soft press and A soft perm is recommended for Large curls temporarily relaxed hair on clients with kinky hair.
- If clients kinky hair to be permanently relaxed (straight) you do with Sodium hydroxide relaxer.
- If client kinky hair wants temporarily relaxed (completely straight), do a Hard press or Double press
- Fine hair around the face/hairline has low heat and pressure and use a soft press
- It is safe to do thermal styling on remy or human hair wigs, refrain from synthetic
- Thermal styling is unsuccessful on synthetic wigs
- A hard press is best suited for coarse hair
- Use Cream oils, and other products during thermal to protect hair against heat damage
- When using the curling iron if the ends are not in the iron, the results will be burnt ends and hook ends.
- Don't preform permanent waves or chemical hair relaxers
- When styling extremely processed hair need to be done a low heat, light pressure
- Usually made out of copper and brass are pressing combs.
- Remember that the thermal treatment will be temporary
- Hair Is most broken in the front part because it is easier to reach the hairline.
- Clean A curling or pressing iron only used find and soft wool.
- Wood is for pressing comb handle
