    Study Notes

    Specialist Haircare Products

    • Gabriela Daniels presented a lecture on specialist haircare products.
    • The presentation covered hairdressing history, hair colouring, perming/relaxing, and hair fibre properties vs chemical alterations.

    Hairdressing History

    • Images from the 1920s were displayed, illustrating hairdressing techniques of the era.
    • The presentation exemplified historical haircare processes.

    Lesson Agenda

    • The lecture included hair colouring.
    • Key differences in hair perming and relaxing techniques were discussed.
    • A comprehensive overview of hair fibre properties contrasted with the effects of chemical alterations.

    Hair Colour

    • Hair colour is influenced by eumelanin and pheomelanin, created in the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle by melanocytes within the hair follicle.
    • Hair greying is associated with cumulative oxidative damage within hair follicles, genetic factors, stress, and nutrition.
    • Research including a publication from the Journal of Investigative Dermatology (2024), details these factors and possible temporary/partial reversion.

    Hair Colouring

    • Hair colouring aims can be to cover grey, change existing colour, or a combination of both.
    • The longevity of results varies.
    • A table categorized temporary, semi-permanent, demi-permanent, permanent, and bleach treatments, categorized by duration.

    Basics of Hair Bleaching

    • Bleaching involves oxidizing agents (e.g., H2O2).
    • Alkalisers (e.g., Ammonium Hydroxide) contribute to cuticle swelling and oxidising agent access.
    • Persulfates are a recent alternative.
    • Thickened/creams are used to ensure proper product application.
    • Hair health preservation is paramount during the bleaching process.
    • Post-bleaching care recommendations are included, emphasizing the reduction of protein damage via acidic shampoos.

    Hair Colour Lightening

    • Hair colour lightening is a necessary component of permanent colouring.
    • The bleaching power required to alter various hair colours was illustrated in a table.

    Hair Colourants: Product Types and Modes of Action

    • Permanent oxidative dyes are composed of two components: a colourless precursor activated by an alkaline medium and hydrogen peroxide.
    • This causes dye products to be trapped inside the hair shaft.
    • Demi-permanent or tone-on-tone oxidative dyes utilize monoethanolamine or amino propanol as alkalizers, using 2-3% H2O2 solution.
    • Semi-permanent (direct) dyes involve small, coloured molecules that permeate the cortex, while temporary dyes reside on the surface with superficial colour.

    Hair Colouring: Subtle vs Dramatic

    • Hair dyeing can be subtle or dramatic.
    • P-phenylenediamine was an innovation in the synthetic hair dye industry (1883).
    • Current practices are regulated to minimize risks.

    Oxidative Hair Dyes

    • Two-component hair dyes are mixed before application.
    • Colourless precursors penetrate the hair; are oxidized to form dye molecules within.
    • These processes often include multiple intermediates and couplers to achieve varied colours.
    • Various techniques and methods are used for optimized hair colouring efficiency

    Hair Fibre and the Dye Molecules

    • Microscopic images illustrate the effect of semi-permanent and permanent red colourants on hair fibres.

    Temporary Hair Dyes

    • Temporary hair dyes last for one shampoo.
    • They present vibrant colours, are applied to the surface, and do not transfer to other materials.
    • Cationic dyes are attracted to hair.
    • Temporary dyes are used as colour boosters for oxidative colouring.

    Some Temporary Hair Dyes (Basic/Acid)

    • Some temporary dyes are large cationic or anionic molecules, residing on the hair surface, for subtle colouring.

    Hair Perming and Relaxing: Similarities and Differences

    • Similarities and differences between these techniques are discussed.

    Hair Straightening (Relaxing)

    • Aim: permanently reshape hair.
    • Regrowth requires repeated treatment (approximately 6 weeks apart).
    • Treatment is based on permanent waving methods but with thick formulations like creams.
    • Relaxing of curly hair involves using strong alkali to treat.

    Oxidation of Disulfide Bonds

    • Oxidation of disulfide bonds affects approximately 30-40% to achieve a straight style.
    • This weakens disulfide bonds and creates lanthionine bonds.
    • Hair loses elasticity and is weakened during the process.

    Chemistry of Hair Relaxing

    • The use of common alkaline agents involving sodium, potassium, or lithium hydroxide are used in thick emulsions.
    • These agents are applied in a controlled manner to aid in hair relaxing.
    • Guanidine hydroxide is a milder alternative but less common.
    • Terminology (e.g., 'lye relaxers') is sometimes used for products containing sodium hydroxide.
    • The differing properties of LiOH (Lithium hydroxide) and KOH (Potassium Hydroxide) are noted in this section.

    Hair Relaxing Technique

    • Important steps for hair relaxing techniques are described including a protective cream application for the scalp.
    • A thorough treatment-specific rinsing is critical.
    • Subsequent hair washings with a neutralising shampoo ensures proper hair care after relaxation.

    Summary of Chemical Treatments

    • Market trends related to hair altering are detailed.
    • Consumers are less inclined to alter hair colour/shape as frequently.
    • Fewer consumers exhibit interest in altering their hair colour or style, suggesting a trend towards more natural and less frequent changes and treatment.
    • Development of less aggressive chemical treatments is noted.

    Scenario Treatments for Hair

    • Three scenarios provide illustrations of current hair appearance and desired changes.
    • The scenarios are practical examples to identify treatments, order, and expected related hair damage. Each scenario provides data for detailed consideration.
