Chapter 20 Flashcards
_______ gives you the ability to permanently change the hairs natural wave and curl pattern, thereby offering clients a variety of styling options that would not otherwise be possible
Chemical Hair Texture Sevices
Without a thorough understanding of ______, cosmetologists could damage hair, cause hair loss, and harm their clients and themselves
Chemistry
What tough exterior layer of the hair has the purpose of surrounding the inner layers and protecting the hair from damage?
Cuticle
Which layer of the hair is located directly beneath the cuticle layer and is responsible for the incredible strength and elasticity of human hair?
Cortex
Which layer of hair is the innermost layer of the hair, and often called the pith or core of the hair?
Medulla
The term pH is an abbreviation used for ____ and the symbol pH represents the quantity of ____ ions in solution
Hydrogen
The ____ measures the acidity and alkalinity of a substance by measuring the quantity of hydrogen ions it contains
pH Scale
The range of numbers used in the pH scale is
0-14
Chemical hair texturized temporarily raise the pH of the hair to an alkaline state 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
What are the basic building blocks of hair that affect how chemical solutions react?
Amino Acids, Peptide Bonds, Polypeptide Chains, Keratin Proteins, and Side Bonds
Which compounds are made up of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur?
Amino Acids
Which chemical bonds aka end bonds, join amino acids together, end to end in long chains, to form a polypeptide chain?
Peptide Bonds
What are long, coiled polypeptide chains linked together end to end like beads?
Keratin Proteins
The cortex of the hair is made up of millions of polypeptide chains cross linked by three types of side bonds that are responsible for the elasticity and strength of the hair. These bonds are ____
Disulfide, Salt, and Hydrogen
What chemical side bonds are formed when two sulfur type chains are joined together?
Disulfide Bonds
Which bonds are relatively weak physical side bonds resulting from an attraction between negative and positive electrical change and are easily broken by water or heat, but reform as the hair is _____
Salt Bonds
_________ is a two step process in which the hair first undergoes a physical change caused by wrapping the hair on perm rods, and then a chemical change caused by the application of permanent waving solution and neutralizer
Permanent Waving
What determines the size of the curl in a permanent waving process?
The size of the rod
In permanent waving, the shape and type of curl are determined by the shape and type of rod and the _____
Wrapping Method
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
What are the most common reducing agent used in permanent waving?
Thioglycolic Acids
The _____ of the permanent waving solution is determines do primarily by the concentration of the reducing agent, or this
Strength
The active ingredient or reducing agent in alkaline permanent waves is _________
Ammonium Thioglyodate
What is the factor in the overall strength of the waving solution?
Degree of Alkalinity
Alkaline waves aka _______ we’re developed in 1941
Cold Waves
Most alkaline permanent waves have a pH between _____
9-9.6
What is the main active ingredient in true acid and acid balanced waving lotion?

Activator
Most acid waves used in salons have a pH value between ____
7.8-8.2
Modern acid waves are actually _______ waves, which are permanent waves that have a 7 or neutral pH
Acid Balanced
Exothermic waves create a chemical reaction that heats the waving solution and speeds up _____
Processing
Waves that are activated from an outside heat source, such as a conventional hood type dryer are ________ waves
Endothermic
