Chemical Texturing Flashcards
Aldehyde
Results from the oxidation of primary alcohols;there are several other chemicals in the class of highly reactive chemical compounds (composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen)
Formaldehyde free
Products are manufactured ‘without’ the use of formaldehyde but could release a formaldehyde gas upon use
Permanent waving
Chemically rearranging straight hair into a curly or wavy form
Protective cream
A cream barrier applied around the hairline and ears to protect the skin from permanent wave lotions or haircolor
Neutralizer
A chemical solution that stops the waving process of a permanent wave; rebuilds the bonds into their new form
Thio neutralization
The process of stopping a permanent wave and reforming the hair into its new curly shape
Preliminary test curl
Determines the required processing time and insures that the desired curl has been achieved for a permanent position wave service
Alkaline waves
cold waves
Processed without heat, the main ingredient is thioglycolic acid
Glyceryl monothioglycolate (GMTG)
The main active ingredient in true acid waves
True acid waves
Permanent waves processed with the application of of heat that have a pH range between 4.5 to 7; the main active ingredient is typically glyceryl monothioglycolate (GMTG)
These acid waves process slower than alkaline waves
Acid balanced waves
Permanent waves processed without heat that have a pH ranging between 7 and 8.2; produce a firmer curl and process more quickly than true acid waves
Endothermic wave
Processed by the application of heat; hood dryer, heat processor
Exothermic wave
Processed by chemical reaction that releases heat; self heating
Ammonia-free waves
Uses an ingredient other than ammonia to reduce the odor associated with ammonia perms
Concave rod
A perm rod that has a small diameter in the center and larger diameter increase throughout the length
Straight rod
A perm rod with an even diameter throughout the entire rod length
Bender rod
flexible rods
Foam-covered rods that are easily bent into different shapes and used for permanent waving
Loop rod
circle rod
A long, plastic rod that is used to create spiral curls
Sponge rod
Pliable foam rods that allow hair to be chemically altered, creating a soft-end result
Double flat wrap
Requires hair to be placed between two end papers, one on each side of the hair strand
Book end wrap
Requires only one paper, which is folded in half much like a book
Single flat wrap
Requires only one paper used in conjunction with either the double end or book end wraps
Croquinole wrap
Wrapping the hair from ends to scalp in overlapping concentric layers
Spiral wrap
Consists of wrapping the hair at angle other than parallel to the length to the length of the rod, which creates a coiling effect of the hair
Base direction
The position of the perm rod: horizontal,vertical, or diagonal, within a section and or parting
Base sections
The subsections located within a larger panel section; the hair is divided into smaller subsections that hold one perm rod each
