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.
