Study Notes

Curl Reforming Overview

  • Curl reforming is a chemical service aimed at transforming tightly curled hair into softer curly or wavy hair.
  • Involves rearranging and neutralizing processes to achieve desired curl patterns.

Key Ingredients and Products

  • Ammonium Thioglycolate: Main component in rearrangers used to reduce natural curl during curl reformation.
  • Boosters: Mild, creamy forms of ammonium thioglycolate that initiate the formation of new curl patterns.

Techniques and Procedures

  • Partings during a curl reforming service should be thinner than normal for effective application.
  • The rod diameter used in the process should be at least two times larger than the natural curl diameter to ensure appropriate curl formation.

Hair Types and Chemical Product Compatibility

  • Various chemical rearrangers are matched with specific hair types; however, certain products labeled "Super for fine hair" may not be suitable for all hair types.

Safety and Testing

  • Brushing hair before chemical services should be avoided as it can prevent scalp irritations.
  • A preliminary strand test is crucial to predict how a client's hair will react to the chemical products used in the curl reforming process.

Terminology

  • Rebounding: Refers to the neutralizing phase, crucial for stabilizing the new curl structure after the application of rearrangers and boosters.
