Hair Setting Flashcards
The hair structure is held together, mainly, by
.
are the strongest. They can only be changed by chemical methods such as perming or relaxing.
.
are much weaker than the disulphide linkages and more easily broken, and they give hair its flexibility
.
On wetting the hair by humidity or shampoo,…….. are broken, the hair becomes soft, easily stretched
.
In this softened condition, the hair can be fashioned into a ……by positioning and holding the hair in the new desired position or shape during drying.
.
The new “set” or curl pattern is …….. until the water dry out, at which time …….configuration pulls the hair back into its permanent configuration.
.
Curling or straightening produced by setting ……. hair are tight when they are first formed, but they are dis- configured when hair get ……
.
Using setting lotions or hair sprays or any other hair setting product gives ……and helps to hold the temporary “set” in …….
.
Product components
.
Solvents
.
Cosolvents and propellants
.
Is typically ….. because of its efficiency to break hydrogen bonds and other good characters
.
ethanol
.
isopropanol
.
Typically, ethanol or isopropanol to allow for:
.
Styling polymer(s)
L
PVP K-30 ( ~ 60,000 Kd) is the most common one because of:
.
Its ready solubility in water or ethanol,
L
Ease of sprayability at low to high concentrations (1-8%),
.
Versatility in modifying its stiffness or brittleness,
.
Good adhesion to keratin and clarity of its film.
.
Its nonioninc character offering compatibility with ionic
agents
L
Polymer modifiers and viscosity increasing agents
.
plasticizers
.
humectants
L
wetting agents
.
antistatic agents
.
These help the polymer flow to attach to the keratin or hair surface
.
propylene glycol,
.
glycerin
.
silicones
.
have been used for reducing static (cationic).
L
Modifier are kept at ……of the polymer solids level
.
Using higher levels of polyol plasticizers or wetting agents can cause
.
Preservative
.
May not be needed for some products containing <25% alcohol or < 35%
.
Vegetable and animal oils and/or mineral oil (mineral oil is not preferred but allowed up to
.
panthenol
