Study Notes
Perm Techniques and Hair Structure
- Croquignole perm wrap: Involves wrapping hair from the ends toward the scalp using overlapping layers, creating defined curls.
- Perm rod: Size of the rod determines the size of the curl in permanent waving.
- Cold wave: A type of permanent wave with a pH level ranging from 9.0 to 9.6.
- Disulfide bonds: Bonds that are broken down by chemical relaxers, altering the shape of the hair strand during processing.
Hair Analysis and Chemical Processing
- Allergic reaction: Determined through a patch test before applying chemicals.
- Testing elasticity and porosity: Essential preliminary steps when performing a virgin relaxer.
- Ianthionine relaxer: It's important to recognize which products are not classified as relaxers in treatment.
- Low porosity hair: This hair type resists color application effectively.
Coloring and Hair Treatment Considerations
- Avoid bleaches or high lift color: These should not be used in conjunction with chemical relaxers.
- Demipermanent color: It may not effectively cover gray hair completely.
- Orange tint: A result left behind on under-lightened hair that may indicate insufficient processing.
- Green cast: Suggestive of improper color treatment; associated with insufficient hair structure.
Hair Cutting Techniques and Styles
- Uniform layers: Achieved by cutting hair at a 90° elevation, resulting in equal length throughout.
- Notching: A technique involving the tips of scissors aimed at adding texture or layers to the hair.
- Thinning shears: Recommended for removing bulk from thick hair without sacrificing length.
Safety Protocols in Salon Practice
- First degree burn: Characterized by redness and irritation without blisters, commonly from wax applications.
- Blood exposure incidents: Respond by stopping the service immediately and following proper disinfecting protocols.
- Sanitization: Consistent hand sanitizing is the most effective practice to minimize cross-contamination in the salon.
Product Knowledge and Application
- Lash adhesive: Essential for securing false eyelashes in place.
- Caustic alkali depilatories: Used for hair removal, but caution is necessary due to potential skin irritation.
- Clarifying shampoo: Contains active ingredients that bind to and remove metal residues from the hair.
- Humectant: A key ingredient in conditioners that helps absorb and retain moisture in hair.
Equipment and Maintenance
- Autoclave: A sterilizer that ensures tools are free of bacteria and safe for use in salons, representing the highest level of decontamination.
- Sanitizing a surface: Considered the lowest level of decontamination and critical for maintaining hygiene standards.
- Covered containers: Recommended for storing disinfected tools to prevent contamination.
General Practice in Cosmetology
- Head drape: Necessary for thermal ironing, but certain requirements may vary.
- Growth pattern: Not a major factor when conducting hair analysis despite its importance in styling.
- Appointment times and service time: Important elements for client consultation that must be accurately recorded for effective scheduling.
Miscellaneous Techniques
- Wringing: A massage technique utilized on arms and legs to promote relaxation.
- Fragrance during service: Note that burning human hair wigs emits a distinctive odor, which may be a concern in salon settings.
