The process of permanently altering the natural wave pattern of hair is described as:
Chemical Texture Services
-
The tough exterior layer of the hair structure is called the:
cuticle
-
To change the natural wave pattern of hair, the side bond of what layer of hair must be broken?
Cortex
-
Another term that is used to describe the medulla of the hair structure is the:
core
-
The term used to measure the hydrogen ions in a solution that determine its alkalinity or acidity is:
potential hydrogen
-
The range of numbers used in the pH scale is:
0-14
-
Chemical hair texturizers temporarily raise the pH of the hair in order to:
soften and swell the shaft
-
In the restructuring process, coarse, resistant hair with a strong compact cuticle requires a chemical solution that is:
highly alkaline
-
Chains that are formed by peptide bonds that are linked together are:
polypeptide
-
A correct permanent wave service alters only what bonds?
side bonds
-
The building blocks of proteins are:
amino acids
-
Chemical-based side bonds that are formed when two sulfur-type chains are joined together are:
disulfide bonds
-
Hydrogen bonds are easily broken by water or hear and are re-formed when the hair is:
styled
-
Chemical services should not be performed if the scalp analysis shows any signs of:
abrasions
-
The key to ensuring complete penetration of permanent wave solution on coarse hair is:
saturation of the cortex
-
More then any other single factor, what determines the ability of the hair to hold a curl?
elasticity
-
In permanent waving, the shape and type of curl are determined by the shape and type of rod and the:
wrapping method
-
The wrapping technique that provides the most control over hair ends and keeps them evenly distributed over the entire length of the rods is a:
double flat wrap
-
The wrap that is used on endpaper folded in half over the hair ends like an envelope is a:
bookend wrap
-
All perm wraps begin by sectioning the hair into:
panels
-
Rods that are equel in circumference aking their entire length or curling area are:
straight rods
-
In permanent waving, panels of hair are divided into smaller subsections called:
base rods
-
The angle at which a permanent wave rod is positioned on the head is referred to as:
base direction
-
Caution should be used with on-base rod placement to avoid additional:
stress and tension on hair
-
The two meathods of wrapping the hair around a perm rod are:
croquignole and spiral
-
In the croquignole method of wrapping, the hair is wound from:
scalp to ends
-
The most common reducting agents used are:
hydrogen peroxide
-
The main active ingredient or reducing agent in alkaline permanent waves is:
ammonium thioglycolate
-
Most alkaline permanent waves have a pH between:
4.4 & 5.5
-
Exothermic waves create a chemical reaction that heats the solution and speeds up:
processing
-
An acid with a low pH that is the primary reducing agent in acid waves is:
sodium hydroxide
-
Most acid waves have a pH value between:
7.8 and 8.2
-
The most common reducing agents used in thio-free waves are mercaptamine or:
cysteamine
-
Hair that has too many disulfide bonds broken and will not hold a firm curl is considered:
overprocessed
-
Two important functions performed during the neutralization process are:
activates solution and normalizes hair
-
Before applying a neutralizer to the hair, it should be thoroughlt:
rinsed
-
The bands of permanent wave rods should be smooth and fastened:
straight across the top of the rod
-
The process of rearranging the basic structure of extremely curly hair into a straighter or smoother form is:
chemical hair relaxing
-
The neutralizer used in thio relaxers is an oxidizing agent, usually:
hydrogen peroxide
-
Hydroxide relaxers remove one atom of sulfur from a disulfide bond, converting it into a:
lanthionine bond
-
Unlike thio neutralization, the neutralization process of hydroxide relaxers does not involve:
oxidation
-
The application of a sodium hydroxide relaxer causes the hair to:
swell and soften
-
Relaxers that contain only one component and are used without mixing are:
neutralizing relaxers
-
Hydroxide relaxers that do not require the application of a protective base are:
no-base relaxers
-
To avoid over processing tand scalp irritation in a virgin relaxer application, start at least:
1/2 inch away from the scalp
-
Conditioners with an acidic pH that condition and restore the natural pH of hair after a relaxer but prior to shampooing are:
normalizing solutions
-
The application for chemical relaxers should be started in the most resistant area, usually the:
back of head
-
Prior to sodium hydroxide relaxer retouch service, the hair should never be:
shampooed
-
During a retouch relaxer application, to avoid over processing ot hair breakage, do not:
overlap the relaxer
-
Hair that is treated with hydroxide relaxers must not be treated with:
thio relaxers
-
Chains that are formed by peptide bonds that are linked together are:
polypeptide
-
Hair coloring products that contain metallic salts are not compatible with:
permanent waving
-
Chemical services performed on overly porous hair requires solutions that are:
alkaline
-
In permanent waving, the size of the curl us determined by the:
rod size
-
Permanent wave rods that produce a tighter curl in the center and looser curls on either size of the strand are:
concave rods
-
Once in the cortex, the waving solution breaks the disulfide bonds through a chemical reaction called
reduction
-
In permanent waving, the reduction reaction is due to the addition of:
hydrogen
-
The most common reducing agents used are:
thioglycolic acids
-
All acid waves have three components consisting of the waving lotion, neutralizer and:
activator
