Ch. 20 part 1 Flashcards
Chemical bonds that join amino acids together to form polypeptide chains are_______________bonds.
peptide
Polypeptide chains are long chains of amino acids joined together by:
peptide bonds
Keratin proteins are made of long chains of__________linked together end-to-end like beads.
amino acids
What type of bond forms when the sulfur atoms in two adjacent protein chains are joined together?
Disulfide
The action of alkaline permanent waving lotion is to soften and:
expand the hair
The chemical action of____________breaks the disulfide bonds through a chemical reaction called reduction.
waving lotion
__________hair with a strong, resistant cuticle layer needs the additional swelling and penetration that is provided by a stronger and more highly alkaline waving solution.
Coarse
_________hair with a damaged cuticle layer is easily penetrated and could be further damaged by a highly alkaline permanent waving solution.
Porous
The alkalinity of the perm chosen should correspond to the resistance, strength, and __________of the cuticle layer.
porosity
What is the main active ingredient or reducing agent in alkaline perms?
Ammonium thioglycolate
What is the main active ingredient in true acid and acid-balanced waving lotions?
Glycerol monothioglycolate
What type of perm is activated by heat created chemically within the product?
Exothermic
Waves that process more quickly and produce firmer curls than true acid waves are:
acid-balanced waves
A perm activated by an outside heat source, usually a conventional hood dryer, is known as:
endothermic
What type of hair is more fragile, easier to process, and more susceptible to damage from perm services?
Fine
What type of hair usually requires more processing than medium or fine hair and may also be more resistant to processing?
Coarse
The amount of processing should be determined by the _____________, not necessarily the perm’s processing time.
strength of the solution
In permanent waving, most of the processing takes place as soon as the solution penetrates the hair, within the first__________minutes.
five to ten
A properly processed permanent wave should break and rebuild approximately____________percent of the hair’s disulfide bonds.
50
If too many__________bonds are broken in the perming process, the hair will be too weak to hold a firm curl.
