Study Notes
Soft Curl Permanent Wave Overview
- Soft Curl Permanent Wave is also known as Jheri Curl.
- The technique is designed to reform uneven natural curls into softer waves.
Soft Perm Procedure
- Involves chemical breakdown and softening of curls using Thio Cream.
- Hair is wrapped around larger diameter perm rods than its natural curl pattern for desired results.
- The procedure includes chemically processing the hair to achieve new curl formation.
Chemicals Used
- Key chemicals involved are Protective Cream, Thio Cream, and Soft Perm Neutralizer.
- Thio Cream is noted for its thicker viscosity compared to other chemicals in the process.
- Ammonium Thioglycolate is the main ingredient in the permanent waving solution and Thio Cream.
Hair Processing Techniques
- After processing with Thio Cream, the hair is smoothed using a large tooth comb followed by a small tooth comb.
- Consistency of Thio Cream penetration in hair is determined by conducting a strand test.
Sectioning and Wrapping
- Hair is divided into nine sections post-chemical breakdown.
- Wrapped in large perm rods to facilitate new curling pattern.
pH Levels
- Ammonium Thioglycolate Soft Curl Permanent Waving Lotion has an alkaline pH typically between 9.0 and 9.6.
- Neutralizer has a pH ranging from 2.5 to 7.0 to help restore hair's pH balance after processing.
- Protective cream is acidic, providing further skin protection during applications.
Bonding and Neutralizing
- Ammonium Thioglycolate works by softening and swelling hair and breaking disulfide bonds in the hair cortex.
- Neutralizer rehardens hair, rebuilds disulfide bonds, and restores natural pH levels.
Client Preparations and Safety
- Clients must sign a Client Release Form prior to the service; however, it does not absolve the hairdresser of malpractice.
- Proper draping involves using two towels and a plastic cape for chemical services.
- Client record card should document essential information, including contact details and service outcomes.
Protective Measures
- Protective gloves are mandatory during chemical applications.
- Scalp should be examined for cuts, abrasions, or disease before starting the procedure.
- Protective cream should be applied around the hairline to safeguard the client’s skin.
Rinsing and Testing
- Hair should be rinsed with warm water following chemical application.
- Protective cotton can be used around the hairline to prevent drips during application.
- Periodic curl testing should be performed every five minutes to monitor curl formation, looking for a "C" shape.
