Curl re forming
The chemical texture service that loosens overly curly hair or changes tightly curly or coiled hair into loose curls or waves
Cortex
The layer of the hair that provides the strength and elasticity of the human hair
4.5-5.5
The natural PH of hair
Permanent waving
The size of the curl is determined by the sides of the rod
Croquignole perm technique
Basic type of wrapping the hair around a perm rod
Reduction reaction
Involved either the addition of hydrogen or removal of oxygen
Reduction reaction
Involves either the addition of hydrogen or removal of oxygen
Cold waves
Most have a PH between 9.0 to 9.6
Neutralizer
One of the three separate components of acid waves
Endothermic wave
Activated by an outside heat source
Permanent wave solution
Should be rinsed from the hair for at least 5 mins
Chemical hair relaxing
The process of rearranging the structure of curly hair to a straighter or smoother form
Thio relaxers
Usually have a PH Above 10
Hydroxide ions
When left in the hair after a relaxer can be neutralized using an acid balanced shampoo
Metal hydroxide relaxers
Type of relaxer that contains only one component an is used exactly as it is packaged with no mixing necessary
