Hair styling, straightening and waving Flashcards
HAIR STYLING AIDS (HAIR FIXATIVES)
Two types:
- Polymer-based products
- Emollient-based products
- Help smooth out frizz and increase hair shine by aligning fibers and reducing friction
- No stiffening unlike polymer
Emollient-based products
Improve hair volume and height by increasing hair strand stiffness and hair fiber interactions
Polymer-based products
Examples:
- Hair spray
- Styling gel
- Mousse
- Liquid setting products
Polymer-based products
Examples:
- Hair cream
- Wax
- Pomade
- Oil spray
Emollient-based products
Alter the natural configuration of hair fibers and modify hair’s natural straightness/curliness
HAIR WAVING AND STRAIGHTENING PRODUCTS
Make use of curling rods
Temporary waving
- Products applied in two separate
steps - There is chemical treatment
- Strong bonds: disulfide bonds (broken down during permanent waving process)
Permanent waving
Use flat irons
For temporary effect
- Products applied in two separate
steps - Break the disulfide bonds and
restructure them - the chemical treatment breaks
disulfide bonds and realigns them to the desired look
For permanent effect
- Non-flaky
- Non-tacky
- Rapid drying time
- Strong hold
QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS of Polymer-based products
- Non-greasy
- Does not make hair look oily and limp
- Aids in hair manageability
- Improves shine
QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS of Emollient-based products
Permanent styling products can change the appearance
of human hair and are considered as OTC drugs in the US (t or f)
F; Hair styling is always considered a cosmetic, regardless of whether it is temporary or permanent
-These products do not change the function of hair cells, since these are dead cells
