Study Notes
Chemical Texture Services
- Hair treatments inducing a chemical change to modify the natural wave pattern.
Amino Acids
- Organic compounds consisting of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur, essential for protein formation.
Peptide Bonds
- Chemical connections linking amino acids in long, continuous polypeptide chains.
Polypeptide Chains
- Extensive sequences of amino acids connected by peptide bonds.
Keratin Proteins
- Composed of long, coiled polypeptide chains, integral to hair structure.
Side Bonds
- Include disulfide, salt, and hydrogen bonds, responsible for stabilizing polypeptide chains.
Disulfide Bonds
- Robust chemical links formed between sulfur atoms in protein chains.
Hydrogen Bonds
- Weaker physical links that can be broken by water or heat, allowing hair to reform when dried or cooled.
Permanent Waving
- A two-step process combining physical wrapping on rods and chemical treatment for curl formation.
Thioglycolic Acid
- The primary reducing agent found in permanent wave solutions.
Ammonium Thioglycolate (ATG)
- Key active ingredient in alkaline permanent waves, facilitating hair texture modification.
Alkaline Waves
- Characterized by a pH range of 9.0 to 9.6, these waves rely on ATG, processing at room temperature without heat.
Glyceryl Monothioglycolate (GMTG)
- Main active component in true acid-balanced waving lotions.
True Acid Waves
- Have a pH between 4.5 and 7.0, require heat, and result in less firm curls compared to alkaline waves.
Acid-Balanced Waves
- Permanent waves with a neutral pH of 7.0, facilitating faster processing and firmer curls without extra heat.
Exothermic Waves
- Generate heat through a chemical reaction, enhancing the speed of the waving process.
Endothermic Waves
- Perms activated by an external heat source.
Ammonia-Free Waves
- Utilize a non-volatile ingredient, minimizing odor during the perming process.
Thio-Free Waves
- Permanent waves utilizing alternatives to ATG, including cysteamine or mercaptamine.
Low-pH Waves
- Employ sulfates and bisulfites instead of ATG and feature a lower pH for gentler processing.
Thio Neutralization
- Halts a permanent wave solution while reconstructing the hair into its new curly shape.
Perm Rods
- Various designs including concave rods (smaller center diameter) and straight rods (equal diameter).
Soft Bender Rods
- Flexible, uniform tools used in perming.
Loop Rod
- Circular perm tool allowing for a continuous wrapping process.
End Papers
- Also called end wraps, essential for controlling hair ends during perming.
Wrap Techniques
- Includes double flat, single flat, and bookend wraps to secure hair during the perming process.
Base Sections
- Subdivisions of hair into panels for uniform wrapping.
Base Control
- Determines rod positioning relative to the base section, influencing curl formation.
Perm Wrapping Styles
- Croquignole, spiral, double-rod and basic wraps are different methods employed for styling.
Chemical Hair Relaxing
- Adjusts curly hair structure to achieve a straighter appearance.
Thio Relaxers
- Utilize higher concentrations of ATG for more pronounced hair straightening effects.
Viscosity
- Refers to the thickness of a liquid, impacting flow during application.
Lanthionization
- The conversion of disulfide bonds into lanthionine bonds by hydroxide relaxers, permanently straightening hair.
Hydroxide Relaxers
- Strong alkalis with pH over 13, effectively used for straightening textured hair.
Metal Hydroxide Relaxers
- Compounds formed from metals combined with oxygen and hydrogen, used in hair relaxation processes.
Base Cream
- Protective oil cream applied to skin and scalp prior to hair relaxing.
Base vs. No-Base Relaxers
- Base relaxers require protective cream application, while no-base relaxers do not.
Hydroxide Neutralization
- Acid-alkali reaction neutralizing leftover alkaline residues post-relaxer application.
Normalizing Lotions
- Acidic conditioners restoring hair's natural pH following hydroxide relaxers.
Soft Curl Permanent
- Thio-based service creating loose and larger curls and waves from tighter textures.
