Chapter 20 A Flashcards
Chemical bonds that join amino acids together to form polypeptide chains are?
Peptide bonds
Polypeptide chains are long chains of amino acids joined together by
Peptide bonds
Keratin proteins are made of long chains of what? Link3d 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 bond
The action of alkaline permanent waving lotion is to soften and do what to the hair?
Expand the hair
The chemical action of what?, breaks down the disulfide bonds through a chemical reaction called reduction.
Waving lotion
What hair type has a strong resistant cuticle and needs the additional swelling and penetration that is provided by a stronger and more highly alkaline waving solution?
Coarse
What type of 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 what 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
Waves that process more quickly and produce firmer curls than true acid waves are?
Acid balanced waves
What type of perm is activated by heat created chemically within the product?
Exothermic
A perm activated by an outside heat source like a hooded dryer
Endothermic
What type is more fragile, easier to process, and more susceptible to damage from a perm service?
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 what?
Strength of the solution
In permanent waving, the most of the processing takes place as soon as the solution penetrates the hair, within the first how many minutes?
Five to ten minutes
A properly processed permanent wave should break and rebuild approximately, what percent of the disulfide bonds?
50
The hair will be to weak to hold a curl when to many of these bonds are broken. What are those bonds?
Disulfide
