Hair Waving Flashcards
Three basic methods to style, perm or
straighten hair:
.
The application of pomades and oils, or resin
based fixatives
.
The use of chemical processes (cold
perming).
.
Using heat from a comb, rollers or iron (hot
pressing)
.
Advantages and disadvantages of each: •Oil and resin based fixatives

you can change the style of hair as often as you like
;
temporary, but last a little longer than using oils and resins
.
act on hydrogen, salt and some S-bonds
.
can cause hair damage and even skin burns if they are overused
.
the products will not do significant damage to the hair.

you can change the style of hair as often as you like
.
carry the risk of greater damage to the hair.

Act on the S-bond and give the most permanent results
.
requires extensive alteration of the biochemical bonds in hair fibers
