Study Notes
Permanent Wrap and Hair Relaxing
- A basic permanent wrap requires dividing the hair into nine sections.
- For a relaxer retouch application, start in the area most resistant.
- Scalp analysis for chemical procedures should check for abrasions.
- Chemical relaxers change hair shape by breaking down disulfide bonds.
- Incorrect use of relaxers can lead to hair melting.
Strand Tests and Hair Analysis
- Strand tests are performed for multiple reasons, but not to determine the best type of shampoo.
- Hair analysis before a chemical relaxer excludes the evaluation of color.
Waving Lotions and Relaxers
- The main ingredient in true acid and acid balanced waving lotions is glyceryl monothioglycolate.
- Ammonium thioglycolate is the active ingredient in relaxers with a pH of 9.6-10.0.
Regulatory Agencies and Cosmetic Safety
