- Permanent wave maintenance includes using alkaline shampoo and conditioner, and brushing frequently for even curls.
- Permanent wave solution must be applied to both the top and bottom of each rod.
- To test for metallic dyes, use a solution of 1 oz of 20-volume hydrogen peroxide with 20 drops of ammonia.
Coloring Techniques
- Aniline derivatives create permanent dye molecules by combining small, uncolored dyes with hydrogen peroxide.
- Semi-permanent and demi-permanent colors deposit pigment only.
- To correct yellow hair, add violet; to counteract orange, use blue or a cool tone.
Hair Relaxing and Straightening
- Guanidine relaxers are less irritating to the scalp but harsher on hair.
- Hydroxide relaxers convert disulfide bonds to lanthionine bonds and cannot be reformed.

Cut and Style Considerations

- Shorter haircuts, such as chin length bobs, are not suitable for clients with prominent jawlines.
- Over-direction in styling creates maximum volume.
Product Application Guidelines
- Temporary color rinses coat the cuticle layer and should be applied with gloves to avoid skin staining.

Tools and Equipment
- Hydrogen peroxide should be stored in opaque containers, away from light and heat.
