chemical texture service✔️ Flashcards
Permanent waves that have a 7.0 or neutral ph; because of their higher ph, they process at room temperature, do not require the added heat of a hair dryer, process more quickly, and produce firmer curls than true acid waves.
Acid-balanced waves
Also known as cold waves; they have a ph between 9.0 and 9.6, use ammonium thioglycolate as the reducing agent, and process at room temperature without the addition of heat.
Alkaline waves
Compounds made up of carbon,oxygen,hydrogen,nitrogen,and sulfate.
Amino acids
Perms that use an ingredient that does no evaporate as readily as ammonia, so there is very little odor associated with their use.
Ammonium-free waves
Active ingredients or reducing agent in alkaline permanents.
Ammonium thioglycolate(ATG)
Position of the tool in relation to its base section, determined by the angle at which the hair is wrapped.
Base control
Also known as protective base cream; oily cream used to protect the skin and scalp during hair relaxing.
Base cream
Angle at which the rod is positioned on the head(horizontally, verticallly, or diagonally);also, directional pattern in which the hair is wrapped.
Base direction
Refers to the postion of the rod in relation to its base section; base placement is determined by the angle at which the hair is wrapped.
Base placement
Relaxers that require the application of protective base cream to the entire scalp prior to the application of the relaxer.
Base relaxers
Subsections of panels into which hair is divided for perm wrapping; one rod is normally placed on each base section.
Base sections
Also known as straight set wrap; perm wrapping pattern in which all the rods within a panel move in the same direction and are positioned on equal-sized bases; all the base sections are horizontal and are the same length and width as the perm rod.
Basic permanent wrap
Perm wrap in which one end paper is folded in half over the hair ends like and envelope.
Bookend wrap
perm wrap similar to actual technique of bricklaying; base sections are offset from each other row by row to prevent noticeable splits and to blend the flow of the hair.
Bricklay permanent wrap
A process or service that rearranges the structure of curly hair into a straighter or smoother form.
Chemical hair relaxing
Hair services that causes a chemical change that alters the natural wave pattern of the hair.
Chemical texture service
Perm rods that have a smaller diameter in the center that alters the natural wave pattern of the hair.
Concave rods
Perm in which the hair strands are wrapped from the ends to the scalp in overlapping concentric layers.
Croquignole perm wrap
Perm wrap in which partings and bases radiate throughout the panels to follow the curvature of the head.
Curvature permanent wrap
Strong chemical side bonds formed when the sulfur atoms in two adjacent protein chains are joined together.
Disulfide bonds
Perm wrap in which one end paper is placed under and another is placed over the strand of hair being wrapped.
Double flat wrap
