Chapter 20- Chemical Texture Services Flashcards
what gives you the ability to permanently change the hair’s natural wave and curl pattern thereby offering clients a variety of styling options that would not otherwise be possible.
Chemical Hair texture services
without a through understanding of chemistry, cosmetologist could ______,___________, and _______ their clients and themselves
damage hair
cause hair loss
harm
though exterior layer of the hair. it surrounds the inner layers and protects the hair from damage
cuticle
middle layer of hair, located directly beneath the cuticle layer. Responsible for the incredible strength and elasticity
cortex
innermost layer of the hair, often called the pith or core of the hair
medulla
what does the symbol pH represent
quantity of hydrogen ions
pH scales measures the ______ and _______ of a substance by measure the quantity of hydrogen ions it contains
acidity
alkalinity
pH scale ranges from ____ to ____
0
14
chemical solutions _____ the pH of the hair to an _________ state
raise
alkaline
coarse, resistant hair with a strong compact cuticle layer requires a __________ ___________ chemical solution
highly alkaline
to understand how a chemical solution changes the structure of the hair, it is important to _______ the basic building blocks of hair
understand
compounds made up of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulfur
amino acids
also known as end bonds , are chemical bonds that join amino acids together, end to end in long chains, to form a polypeptide chain
peptide bonds
long champions of amino acids joined together by polypeptide chains
polypeptide chains
long, coiled polypeptide chains
keratin proteins
disulfide salt and hydrogen bonds that cross link polypeptide chains together
side bonds
strong chemical side bonds formed when the sulfur atoms in two adjacent protein chains are joined together
disulfide bonds
relatively weak physical side bonds that are a result of attraction between negative and positive electrical charges. they are easily broken by changes in pH and they reform when the pH rea turns to normal levels
salt bonds
weak physical side bonds that are also the result of an attraction between opposite electrical charges; they are easily broke. by water or heat and they re-form as the hair dries or cools
hydrogen bonds
two step process whereby the hair undergoes a physical change cause by wrapping the hair on perm rods; the hair then undergoes a chemical change cause by the application of permanent waving solution and neutralizer
permanent waving
what determines the size of the curl when performing a permanent waving service
the size of the rod
the shape and type of curl are determines by
the shape and type of rod and the wrapping method used
once in the cortex, the waving solution breaks the disulfide bonds through a chemical reaction called
reduction
the reduction reaction in permanent waving is due to
the addition of hydrogen
