Created when polypeptide chains link together with side bonds

Question 11

Hydrogen Bond

Answer 11

occurs between oxygen and hydrogen molecules

Question 12

Salt Bond

Answer 12

formed when the positive end of an amino acid chain links the negative end of an amino acid

Question 13

Disulfide Bond

Answer 13

Bonds link together by two sulfur atoms that are attached to cysteine amino acid

Question 14

Answer 17

The number of helix coils, micro fibrils, macro fibrils and fibrils

Question 18

Protein

Answer 18

65-95% of the hair and gives the hair strength to stretch and a combination of protein and moisture gives elasticity

Question 19

Lipids

Answer 19

Acts like glue holding protein together

Question 23

Eumelanin

Answer 23

Found in darker levels containing iron and turns red when oxidized

Question 24

Answer 24

Found in lighter levels contains copper and turns orange when oxidized

Question 25

PH Scale

Answer 25

Potential Hydrogen (PH) Scale indicates the amount of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (H-) in a solution (Anything that contains water will fall somewhere on the PH scale

Question 26

Anion

Answer 26

Negative ion

Question 27

Cation

Answer 27

Positive Ion

Question 28

As the Ph increase, the amount of ________ are removed, leaving _________

Answer 28

Positive ions; Negative ions

Question 29

Answer 29

Acidic positive ions H +

Question 30

Hydroxide ions

Answer 30

Alkaline Negative ions OH-

Question 31

The negative ions rep and push against each other, opening and swelling the ___________

Answer 31

Cuticle

Question 32

Three Formulas of PM Permanent Waves

Answer 32

Alkaline, Exothermic, Acid

Question 33

Alkaline

Answer 33

Resistant, normal, gray and white hair; true to rod size curl; ideal when a strong wave/close ended curl is wanted; curl eval: rod size and minimal separation

Question 34

Exothermic

Answer 34

Resistant, normal and fine hair; creates firm, long lasting conditioned curl; Processes hair at a neutral ph of 7

Question 35

Acid

Answer 35

Colored and 50 % highlighted hair; prevents damage and discoloration; Gentle creates a softer curl/body; curl eval: rod size and max separation; processing time 10-15 min

Question 36

End Wrap Techniques

Answer 36

Flat, Pinch and Twist

Question 37

Flat

Answer 37

Hair is evenly distributed across end paper. The end technique creates an even curl from the bae to the ends

Question 38

Pinch

Answer 38

Hair is gathered at the ends and placed in end paper. This technique softens the ends of the hair, creating inconsistency from base to ends

Question 39

Twist

Answer 39

Hair is gathered and spun 360 degrees. This end technique creates inconsistency in the curl from base to ends

Question 40

What do we look for in each curl eval?

Answer 40

Alkaline: rod size ad minimal separation; Acid: rod size with play and max separation; Exothermic: Rod size and separation

Question 41

Perm SMA

Answer 41

Perm rods, rat tail comb, water bottle, cotton, end paper, clips, detangling comb, Blow dryer + diffusers, Gloves, timer, chemicals cape, towels, PM products, On Demand product knowledge and Skill cards

Question 42

What does a consultation consist of?

Answer 42

What the guest would like? Desired end result? budget? commitment? Long term hair goals? Lifestyle?

Question 43

Curl Evaluation

Answer 43

Good results, Under processed, Over processed, porous ends, improper winding

Question 44

Formation

Answer 44

Identified by number 1. Straight 2. Wavy 3. Curly 4. Coily

Question 45

Texture

Answer 45

Identified by a letter A. Fine B. Medium C. Coarse

Question 46

Body Position for diffusing

Answer 46

Stand behind the panel on your dominant side through panel three and in front of the panel on your non dominant side. Your body position naturally transitions.

Question 47

Purpose of Pre Dry

Answer 47

Supports control and movement over various formations. Great for any formation and length of hair. Removes moisture and speeds up drying time.
