Perm Set Flashcards
Perm that processes at room temperature and does not require external heat (normal to resistant hair types)
Alkaline waves
Perm that requires heat to process and are slower than alkaline waves with a less strong curl (porous hair types)
True acid waves
The active ingredient or reducing agent in alkaline perms
Ammonium thioglycolate (ATG)
Perm that processes at room temperature and is quicker than true acid waves with a stronger curl
Acid-balanced waves
Perm that creates a chemical reaction that heats up the solution and speeds up processing
Exothermic perm
Stops the action of a perm and rebuilds the hair
Thio neutralization
Perm that requires external heat to process
Endothermic perm
What is most commonly used to neutralize perms
Hydrogen peroxide
