Study Notes

Nail Disorders

Corrugations: Characterized by horizontal wavy ridges on nails due to uneven growth caused by illness or injury.
Furrows: Display vertical lines on the nail plate, resulting from nutritional issues, injury, or illness.
Leuconchia: Presents as white spots on the nail, typically caused by an injury at the nail's base.
Onychorrhexis: Refers to split or brittle nails resulting from injury, poor filing habits, vitamin deficiencies, illness, or exposure to chemicals.
Hang Nails: Occur due to dry cuticles and improper cuticle removal.
Onychomycosis Unguium: A fungal nail infection that is highly contagious.
Onychocryptosis: Known as ingrown nails, often resulting from excessive filing or wearing tight shoes.
Verruca: Warts caused by infectious viruses.
Onycholysis: Describes the separation of the nail from the nail bed without complete shedding.

Nail Shapes

Basic nail shapes include squoval, round, oval, pointed, and square.

Hair Coloring Techniques

Toner: Used on pre-lightened hair to achieve lighter, delicate shades.
Conditioning Filler: A protein conditioner that equalizes porosity and fills gaps in hair.
Color Filler: Replaces missing primary colors in hair.
Oxidative Color: Includes demi-permanent and permanent hair colors.
Non-Oxidative Color: Temporary and semi-permanent color changes with no lifting ability.

Lightening and Coloring Processes

Double Process Blonde: Involves simultaneous decolorization and toning of hair.
Melanin's Effect on Lightener Working Time: Higher melanin levels require longer processing time, while the scalp processes faster due to heat.
Lift: Refers to lightening hair by breaking down melanin.
Deposit: Technique that only adds color without lifting, due to the absence of ammonia or high alkalinity.
Developer: An oxidizing agent, often H2O2, that aids in breaking down melanin for color lift.

Types of Hair Color

Permanent Color: Lightens and deposits color simultaneously, contains more alkaline ingredients, and penetrates the cortex.
Demi-Permanent Color: Deposits only, deepening or changing hair tone.
Semi-Permanent Color: Non-oxidative, temporary color that stains the cuticle and fades with each shampoo.

Color Theory

Primary Colors: Red, blue, yellow.
Brown: An unequal mix of primary colors.
Black: Formed by equal proportions of all primary colors.
Warm Tones: Include red, orange, and yellow.
Cool Tones: Comprise blue, green, and violet.
Neutral Tones: A perfect balance of warm and cool tones.
Eumelanin: Responsible for brown to black pigment.
Pheomelanin: Provides red to yellow pigment.

Hair Texture Characteristics

Coarse Texture: Largest diameter, highest melanin content, affecting processing time and lift.
Medium Texture: Balanced melanin levels, typically presents no issues.
Fine Texture: Smallest diameter, least melanin, more prone to damage and undesirable color results.

Permanent Wave Techniques

Alkaline Wave: Known as cold waves, utilizes ammonium thioglycolate with a pH of 9.0-9.6; processes at room temperature.
Acid Wave: Also called heat waves, requires added heat, with a pH of 7.8-8.2.
Endothermic: Requires an external heat source for processing.
Exothermic: Self-heating waves that generate their own heat during processing.
Croguiqnole: Wrapping technique starting from the ends to the scalp, producing tighter curls on the ends.
Spiral: Wrapping hair in a spiral direction along the rod's surface, not perpendicular to the rod.

Hair Placement Techniques

On Base Placement: Hair is positioned at a 45-degree angle forward.
1/2 Off Base Placement: Hair is held 90 degrees straight up.
