    Study Notes

    Chemical Texture Services

    • Chemical texture services alter the natural wave pattern of the hair, including:
      • Permanent waving: Adding wave or curl to the hair
      • Relaxing: Removing curl or waves, leaving the hair smooth and straight
      • Curl re-forming (self curl permanents): Loosening overly curly hair, changing tightly curly or coiled hair into loose curls or waves

    Hair Assessment

    • Hair assessment involves examining the hair's natural characteristics, including:
      • Texture
      • Porosity
      • Density
      • Existing condition

    Hair Type and Condition

    • Hair type is determined by the hair's natural condition, which is the amount of sebum the body produces
    • Hair types include:
      • Fine hair: Lacks volume, often found on temples, hairline, and nape of the head
      • Medium hair: Strong and elastic, neither too thick nor too thin
      • Coarse hair: Abundant and heavy, with a tendency to grow outwards from the scalp
      • Dry hair: Looks dull, feels dry, and tangles easily
      • Normal hair: Neither oily nor dry, holds its style, and looks good most of the time
      • Oily hair: Looks lank and greasy, and needs frequent washing to look good
      • Combination hair: Oily at the roots, dry and sometimes split at the ends

    Hair Texture

    • Hair texture refers to the size and shape of the hair follicle, which is determined by:
      • Genetics
      • Hormones
      • Age
      • Racial characteristics
    • Hair texture can be:
      • Fine
      • Medium
      • Coarse

    Hair Density

    • Hair density refers to the number of hairs on the scalp per square inch
    • Average hair density is 100-200 hairs per square inch
    • Hair density can be:
      • Sparse (Low hair density)
      • Normal (Medium-Density Hair)
      • Dense (High-Density Hair)

    Hair Porosity

    • Hair porosity is the ability of the hair to absorb and preserve liquids or moisture in the cuticle
    • Hair porosity can be:
      • High porosity: Cuticles are widely spaced, hair absorbs moisture quickly but loses it quickly
      • Medium porosity: Cuticles are less tightly bound, hair absorbs just the right amount of liquid and holds on to it
      • Low porosity: Cuticles are close together, hair doesn't absorb moisture easily, but retains it for long when it does### Characteristics of Low Porosity Hair
    • Low porosity hair takes longer to get saturated and dry due to its natural resistance to water
    • It's difficult to hydrate and treat low porosity hair chemically, and it doesn't take color well
    • Low porosity hair is less prone to breakage and split ends
    • It has less volume and elasticity

    Causes of Low or High Hair Porosity

    • Porosity is typically genetic, but external factors can also affect it
    • Chemical and color treatments, daily heat styling, overexposure to the sun, pH imbalances, and pool water can weaken the bonds between cuticle cells and alter porosity

    How to Check Hair Porosity

    • The float test: if hair floats, it has low porosity, if it sinks, it has high porosity, and if it's in between, it has medium porosity
    • The slip and slide test: if hair feels smooth, it has low porosity, and if it feels bumpy, it has high porosity
    • The spray bottle test: if water sits on the surface for a bit, hair has normal porosity, if it takes longer to absorb, it has low porosity, and if it absorbs quickly, it has high porosity

    Hair Care for Different Porosity Types

    • High porosity hair:
      • Needs extra care and loving
      • Massage scalp and hair with oil for nourishment and moisturization
      • Use a good leave-in conditioner every other day
      • Avoid heat styling tools and use lukewarm or cold water for shampooing and conditioning
      • Try protein treatments
    • Low porosity hair:
      • Use a clarifying shampoo once a week to remove product buildup
      • Use conditioning hair masks to pamper hair
      • Give hair hot-oil treatment using oils like coconut, avocado, and olive
      • Try protein-free conditioners
      • Choose lightweight hair care products
    • Medium porosity hair:
      • Retains adequate moisture
      • Reacts well to chemical treatments
      • Avoid overindulging in chemical treatments to prevent hair fall and damage

    Hair Length Chart

    • Short hair:
      • Buzz cut: great for edgy girls who want freedom of expression
      • Ear length (pixie): great for girls with curls and spectacular bone structure
      • Chin length (bob): a classic, chic cut
    • Medium hair:
      • Shoulder length: universally flattering, great for growing out a buzz cut or pixie
      • Armpit length: great for girls with textured hair
    • Long hair:
      • Mid-back length: great for thick, coarse hair textures
      • Tailbone length: great for girls who want to grow out their hair

    Effects of Previous Chemical Services

    • Chemical reformation: softening or altering the disulfide bonds
    • Relaxing: breaking the bonds to alter the curl or wave
    • Lightening agents: hydrogen peroxide, persulfate salts, and other historical agents
    • Color treatments: used to deliver pigments, cover roots, and enhance color
    • Design and degree of relaxation: considering the client's preferences and desired finished design

    Client History

    • Historical hair analysis records: understanding the client's past hair needs and preferences
    • Desired degree of curl, volume, or both: considering the client's past styling preferences
    • Tool and product selection: understanding the client's previous experiences and preferences
    • Winding technique: historical experiences with winding techniques and styling methods
    • Outcome of service: reviewing past styling outcomes
