Study Notes

Chemical Texture Services Overview

Acidic pH is below 7, indicating stronger solutions.
Alkaline pH exceeds 7, useful for certain chemical processes in hair.
Chemical solutions alter hair pH to an alkaline state, allowing penetration into the cortex.

Hair Structure and Chemistry

Cortex contains polypeptide chains; chemical solutions manipulate cuticle and cortex interactions.
Coarse, resistant hair needs highly alkaline solutions for effective treatment.
Porous or damaged hair benefits from milder alkaline solutions to prevent additional damage.
Peptide bonds, also known as end bonds, connect amino acids, forming polypeptide chains.

Hair pH and Bonds

Healthy hair and skin have a pH range of 4.5-5.5.
Disulfide bonds are strong chemical side bonds crucial for hair strength.
Despite fewer in number, disulfide bonds contribute to about one-third of hair's overall strength.
Salt bonds are weak and susceptible to changes in pH but easily reform.
Hydrogen bonds are weak and impacted by water or heat, breaking and reforming during hair treatments.

Permanent Waving Process

Permanent waving alters side bonds without damaging the hair structure.
Alkaline solutions soften and swell hair, allowing deeper penetration.
Reduction reactions involve adding hydrogen, breaking disulfide bonds.
Common reducing agent in permanent waves is thio, specifically in the form of thioglycolic acid.
The strength of permanent waving solution mainly depends on thio concentration.

Types of Perm Solutions

Alkaline/cold wave and exothermic wave are suitable for coarse, thick, or resistant hair.
True acid waves are ideal for porous or very damaged hair.
Acid-balanced waves fit for porous or damaged hair whereas ammonia-free waves suit porous to normal hair.
Low-pH waves cater to normal, fine, or lightly damaged hair.
Ammonium thioglycolate serves as a reducing agent in alkaline waves.

Hair Processing Details

Initial processing during permanent waving happens within the first 5 to 10 minutes post-application.
Base placement refers to how the rod relates to its base section; angles impact results.
Base direction encompasses the position and wrapping pattern of the hair.

Relaxers Types

Common chemical relaxers include ammonium thioglycolate, guanidine hydroxide, and sodium hydroxide.
Thio and guanidine are no-lye relaxers, while sodium hydroxide is a lye-based relaxer.
Relaxers are highly alkaline, potentially damaging hair if misapplied.
Thio relaxers leverage the same compounds as permanent waves but with higher concentration and pH.
Viscosity of thio relaxers is greater than that of other types, contributing to their effectiveness.

Relaxer pH Levels

Sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, and potassium hydroxide have pH levels between 12.5 to 13.5.
Guanidine hydroxide has a pH of 13-13.5, while ammonium thioglycolate has a pH range of 9.6 to 10.
Ammonium sulfite/ammonium bisulfite is a gentler relaxer with a pH of 6.5 to 8.5.
