Perms Flashcards
Permanent waving?
Adding wave or curl to hair
Relaxing?
Removing curl, leaving the hair smooth and wave-free
Curl re-forming (soft curl permanents)?
Loosening overly curly hair, such as when tight curls turned into loose curls or waves
____ involve chemically and physically changing the structure of the hair??
Chemical texture procedures
Tough exterior layer of the hair. It surrounds the inner layers and protects the hair from damage
Cuticle
Middle layer of the hair, located directly beneath the cuticle layer
Cortex
Innermost layer of the hair, often called the pith or core of the hair.
Medulla
A____Is compact and lies tight against the hair strand. It protects the hair from damage and makes it appear smooth and shiny.
healthy cuticle
A____ is chipped and dies not lie tight against the hair shaft. because it cannot adequately protect the hair against damage, the hair becomes rough, dull, and prone to split ends and brakeage.
Damaged cuticle
pH is an abbreviation used for?
Potential hydrogen
pH represents the quantity of??
Hydrogen ions
pH scale measures the ___ and ___ of a substance by measuring the quantity of hydrogen ions it contains.
Acidity and alkalinity
The pH scale has a range from?
0-14
pH of 7 is?
Neutral
pH below 7 is?
Acidic
pH above 7 is?
Alkaline
Natural pH of the hair is between?
4.5-5.5
Raises the pH of the hair to an alkaline state in order to soften and swell the hair shaft. This action opens the cuticle layer and allows the solution to reach the cortex layer, where the restructuring takes place.
Chemical texturizers
Coarse resident hair with a strong compact cuticle layer requires a?
Highly alkaline chemical solution.
Porous damaged or chemically treated hair requires a??
Less alkaline solution.
Compounds made up of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur??
Amino acids
