    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.
