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.
