Study Notes
Bacteriology and Bacteria
- Bacteriology is the study of microorganisms called bacteria.
- Bacteria, also referred to as germs or microbes, are minute, one-celled organisms of vegetable origin observable under a microscope.
Types of Bacteria
- Cocci are spherical bacteria.
- Spirilla are spiral-shaped bacteria.
- Bacilli are rod-shaped bacteria.
Pathogenic vs Non-Pathogenic Bacteria
- Pathogenic bacteria are those that cause disease.
- Non-pathogenic bacteria are harmless and do not cause disease.
Organisms and Their Roles
- Parasites feed on a living host, often causing harm.
- Saprophytes feed on dead matter, playing a role in decomposition.
Human Relations
- Human relations involve studying workplace interactions and effective communication strategies.
Cell Biology
- Flagella are long, whip-like filaments aiding in cell motility.
- Mitosis is the process of cell division where cells split in half.
Immunity Types
- Natural immunity is innate, present at birth.
- Acquired immunity develops after overcoming diseases or through vaccinations.
Infection Types
- General infections affect the whole body as the circulatory system spreads bacteria and toxins.
- Local infections are confined to specific areas, evident as pus-filled lesions.
Regulatory Organizations and Safety
- EPA stands for Environmental Protection Agency, ensuring environmental sustainability.
- MSDS refers to Material Safety Data Sheet, crucial for chemical safety.
- OSHA is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, focusing on workplace health.
Personal Protection Equipment (PPE)
- PPE is essential for safeguarding individuals from health hazards in the workplace.
Chemical Knowledge
- Sodium hydrochlorite is recognized as household bleach, commonly used for disinfection.
- QUAT stands for quaternary ammonium compound, often used for disinfection at a dilution of 1:1,000 parts.
Draping Techniques
- Draping serves as the first line of protection for clients during services.
- The single drape method is used for non-chemical services, while double draping is for chemical services.
Shampooing and Scalp Care
- Shampooing creates a lasting first impression and reflects the stylist's confidence.
- A healthy scalp requires cleanliness and stimulation.
- Always test water temperature on the wrist before use.
Hair Care Techniques
- Keep fingertips cupped over the nozzle to prevent rapid temperature changes.
- Use a cushion of fingertips when shampooing.
- Scientific brushing before shampooing removes buildup and enhances shine.
- Avoid brushing hair prior to any chemical service to prevent scalp irritation.
Treatment Purposes
- Scalp treatments help alleviate dryness and promote blood circulation.
- Conditioning treatments aim to hydrate and moisturize damaged, dry hair.
Special Considerations
- Scalp massage isn't advised for clients with uncontrolled severe hypertension.
- Avoid performing scalp massages without medical permission when in doubt.
Ergonomic Practices
- Maintain good posture to avoid muscle fatigue.
- Be aware of ergonomic practices to prevent physical strain.
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and shift weight frequently.
- Keeping the head level and shoulders raised is important for body mechanics.
- Bend knees when lifting to avoid back strain.
Scalp Analysis
- Conduct thorough scalp analysis checking for abrasions, scalp conditions, and pests such as lice.
pH Levels and Hair Care
- The average pH for acid-based shampoos is between 4.5-5.5 and for conditioners 5.5-6.9.
- Alkaline shampoos have a higher pH, ranging from 7.1-9.5, which can cause color to fade faster.
- Hair's natural pH is around 4.5-5.5; choosing shampoos close to this level minimizes damage.
