27
Q

Base control

base placement

A

The position of the tool in relation to its base section and is determined by the angle at which the hair is wrapped

28
Q

Basic perm wrap
(straight set wrap)
(9-block wrap)

A

Controlled sections of hair in which perm rods are placed in rectangular-shaped subsections

29
Q

Curvature perm wrap

A

Consists of parting that follow the shape of your guests head

30
Q

Bricklay perm wrap

A

Perm rods are placed within a staggered pattern of subsections

31
Q

Weave perm wrap

A

Wrapping consisting of controlled sections of hair that replaces straight parting with ‘zigzag’ partings

32
Q

Piggyback perm wrap

double-rod

A

A wrap technique where hair longer than 10 to 12 inches is wrapped on one rod from the mid-shaft to scalp, and the remaining hair is wrapped around a second rod

33
Q

Soft curl reformation

A

A chemical texture service that restructure overly curly hair into loose curls or waves

34
Q

Porosity

A

The ability of the hair to absorb any liquid

35
Q

Elasticity

A

The capability of the hair strand to stretch and return to its previous form without breaking; elasticity is directly related to the condition of the hair

36
Q

Preliminary strand test

A

Performed as part of your guest consultation to test how the hair will respond to the chemical application

37
Q

Amino acid

A

Protein building blocks of hair that link to together to form tiny protein fibers

38
Q

Peptide bonds

end bonds

A

Connect amino acids (end to end) that form polypeptides

39
Q

Polypeptide chain

A

Spiraling chain of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds

40
Q

Side bonds

cross bonds

A

Connect polypeptide chains side by side; responsible for strength and elasticity

41
Q

Hydrogen bonds

A

Physical side bond easily broken by water or heat; reforms when hair cools and/or dries

42
Q

Salt bonds

A

Weak physical side bonds easily broken by change in pH; reforms when pH balance is restored

43
Q

Disulfide bonds

A

Strong chemical side bonds that can only be broken by chemical solutions

44
Q

Occupational disease

A

Any illness caused by overexposure to certain products or ingredients

45
Q

Physical mixtures

A

Consists of two or more types of matter that are blended together, but not chemically altered; each part in the mixture maintains its own properties

46
Q

A

When a substance is able to be mixed with another substance

47
Q

Immiscible

A

When a substance is not able to mix with another substance

48
Q

Potential hydrogen

pH

A

A measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution

49
Q

pH scale

A

A scale ranging from 0 to 14 that measures if a product is acid (0-6.9), an alkaline ( 7.1 to 14), or neutral (7)

50
Q

Chemical relaxing

A

To chemically alter naturally curly or wavy hair into a straighter form

51
Q
