Study Notes
Bacteria and Infection Control
- Bacteria are one-celled microorganisms thriving in dark, warm, and contaminated environments.
- Contamination is the presence of unclean materials on surfaces.
- Disinfectants are chemicals that destroy or inhibit the growth of microorganisms.
- Infections occur when pathogenic bacteria or viruses enter the body through openings or broken skin.
- Overexposure can cause allergic reactions or other unwanted side effects from excessive contact with substances.
Safety Regulations and Procedures
- Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides necessary information for handling and storing chemicals.
- OSHA sets and enforces employee training and education standards to improve workplace safety.
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) serves as a barrier against potential blood spills, including gloves and eye protection.
Types of Bacteria
- Two types of bacteria: Non-Pathogenic (helpful, making up 70% of bacteria) and Pathogenic (harmful, causing diseases).
- Pathogenic bacteria fall into three forms: Cocci (round), Bacilli (rod-shaped), and Spirilla (spiral).
Disease-Causing Agents
- Viruses are smaller than bacteria and invade human cells through cell walls.
- Examples of viruses include Herpes Simplex, Human Hepatitis (A, B, C), HIV, and AIDS.
- Animal parasites like Scabies and pediculosis cause diseases, while plant parasites cause infections like ringworm.
Infection Signs and Sterilization Methods
- Signs of infection include heat, ache, redness, pus, and swelling.
- Decontamination removes infectious materials from tools or surfaces.
- Three levels of controlling infection: Sanitation (removes dirt), Disinfection (destroys most bacteria), and Sterilization (destroys all microorganisms).
Massage Techniques
- Effleurage is a gentle gliding massage to relax muscles.
- Petrissage involves kneading movements that stimulate muscles.
- Friction is a deep rubbing movement enhancing circulation.
- Vibration involves rapid shaking for relaxation but is rarely used by cosmetologists.
Cell Structure Basics
- Cells consist of four main components: Cell Membrane (controls substance passage), Cytoplasm (contains nutrients), Centrosome (facilitates division), and Nucleus (contains DNA/RNA).
Tissue Types
- Four types of tissues: Epithelial (protective covering), Nerve (signal transmission), Muscular (movement), and Connective (support and protection).
Hair Structure and Growth
- Hair consists of the cuticle (protective outer layer), cortex (inner elastic layer), and medulla (deepest layer).
- Hair roots consist of the follicle, bulb, dermal papilla (nutrient supply), arrector pili muscle, and sebaceous glands (oil production).
Hair Growth Stages
- Three stages of hair growth: Anagen (growing stage), Catagen (intermediary stage where hair disconnects from the follicle), and Telogen (shedding/resting stage).
Hair Characteristics
- Average hair loss is 30-50 strands per day.
- Alopecia conditions include Alopecia Areata (patchy loss), Totalis (balding of the head), and Universalis (total body balding).
Scalp Stretching Techniques
- Scalp Extender is a stretchable sheet inserted during alopecia surgery.
- Scalp Expander is a balloon-like device gradually inflated to stretch the scalp prior to surgery.
Scalp Conditions
- Dry scalp occurs due to a lack of sebaceous gland activity, leading to flakiness and itchiness.### Oily Scalp
- Caused by overactive sebaceous glands, inadequate hygiene, poor diet, or unsuitable cleansing products.
- Characterized by a greasy appearance on the scalp and an oily coating on hair shafts.
Whorl
- A circular patch of hair that forms a distinctive pattern at or near the crown.
- More pronounced in children compared to adults.
Cowlick
- A tuft of hair that grows straight out from the scalp, differing in direction from surrounding hair.
Hair Stream
- Refers to hair follicles that are slanted and grow in the same direction.
- Opposite hair growth directions form natural parts or dividing lines in hair.
Texture
- Represents the tactile quality and measurement of each hair fiber's diameter.
Diameter
- The thickness or width of an individual hair strand.
Three Types of Hair Textures
- Hair can be classified into three textures: Coarse, Medium, and Fine.
