Study Notes
Scalp and Infection Guidelines
- Avoid massaging a client's scalp if abrasions are present.
- Infestation of the hair and scalp with head lice is called Pediculosis Capitis.
- Clients with infectious diseases should be referred to a physician for appropriate care.
Massage Techniques
- Petrissage is a kneading movement involving lifting, squeezing, and pressing tissue with light pressure.
Disinfection Protocols
- Implements requiring disinfection must be completely immersed in a covered container.
- Chemical products known as disinfectants destroy bacteria, fungi, and viruses (excluding spores).
- Material Safety Data Sheets provide safe-handling guidelines and proper storage information for chemical products.
Hair Styling Guidelines
- A client consultation is critical for understanding client needs and preferences.
- Elevation in haircutting is described in degrees, while the angle used when cutting refers to the cutting line.
- Vertical lines create graduated or layered haircuts and are essential for removing weight from hair.
Chemical Treatments
- Normalizing lotion restores hair and scalp pH to a normal acidic level.
- Soft curl permanent refers to a thio permanent wrapped on large tools to create loose curls.
- Sodium Hydroxide relaxers, also known as lye relaxers, require protective gloves during application.
- The process of breaking disulfide bonds during chemical hair relaxing is termed lanthionization.
Licensing and Regulations
- Members of the Indiana State Board of Cosmetology cannot exceed five members from the same political party.
- A cosmetology license is valid for four years, and a list of sanitary requirements must be provided to salon operators.
- Sanitary requirements must be posted in a conspicuous place within salons.
Hair Color and Texture
- Overlapping hair color on previously tinted hair can lead to breakage and visible demarcation.
- Temporary colors do not require a patch test, while other coloring products do.
- Hair texture refers to the thickness or diameter of the hair strand, while elasticity relates to its ability to stretch and return to its original form without breaking.
Permanent Waving and Chemical Texturing
- Permanent waving alters hair shape through chemical processes (disulfide bonds).
- Acid waves have a pH of 7.8-8.2 and are composed of wrapping lotion, neutralizer, and activator.
- Exothermic reactions occur during chemical services, characterized by releasing heat.
Chemical Hair Relaxers
- Sodium hydroxide relaxers (lye relaxers) and thioglycolic acid are the most common reducing agents in relaxing treatments.
- Hair should be rinsed thoroughly after sodium hydroxide relaxer processing and before shampooing.
- Periodic strand testing checks relaxer processing by assessing how natural curls react when pressed to the scalp.
Health and Safety
- Always wear a clean towel or neck strip under the client's cape during services.
- Waste containers should be present for every four workstations to maintain cleanliness.
- Chemical services should not be performed on scalps with abrasions or signs of infection.
Hair Density and Wave Patterns
- Hair density indicates the number of individual hair strands in a square inch of the scalp.
- The shape of hair strands (straight, wavy, curly) defines the wave pattern, which is associated with styling options.
- Melanin granules in the cortex provide natural pigmentation, contributing to variations from red to yellow and blond tones.
