Thermal Design Flashcards
Define “Thermal Design”
the technique of drying
Define “Air Forming”
Process of drying hair
Define “Rough Drying”
80% of water out by blow drying
Define “Fingerstyling”
Technique used by fingers manipulating and designing hair as its being dried with a hair dryer
Define “Scrunching”
A form of finger styling gently squeezing hair lengths as hair dries with a diffuser
Define “Diffuser”
The Spread of airflow to larger areas used with scrunching
Define “Air forming with concentrator”
Focus airflow to smaller areas controlling the air flow. Smooth affect
Define “Vent Brush (flat wrapping)”
Quickly dries hair
Creates directional movement such as waves
Define “7/9 Row Brush”
Smooths hair and creates a bevel effect
Define “Round Brushing”
Creates waves and curls
Blow Drying Considerations
Volume
Brush is positioned underneath hair strand rolled upward ends to base
Blow Drying Considerations
Indentation
Brush is positioned top of hair stand rolled upward ends to base
Blow Drying Considerations
Brush Sectioning
No thicker then brush
Blow Drying Considerations
Airflow Direction
Air form in direction of cuticle. Keep dryer pointing down
Blow Drying Considerations
Airflow Speed
High - rough dry
Medium - Styling
Blow Drying Considerations
Dryer Distance
Keep dryer 3 to 5 inches away from hair. Move back and forth
What’s the name of the curling iron and who it was dedicated too?
1875 Marcel Grateau
Curling Iron Techniques
Base to Ends
Creates volume and support at the base
Curling Iron Techniques
Ends to base
Achieve stronger end curl. Weaker base
Curling Iron Techniques
Ends
Achieve a curved under or bevel up effect
Curling Iron Techniques
Marcel Waves
Achieve an alternating wave pattern along hair strand
Curling Iron Techniques
Spiral
Achieve elongated spiral curls or a cork screw effect
Define “Hair Pressing”
Temporarliy straightening curly and tightly curled hair with a press comb
Define “Soft Press”
Pressing hair once each side with less pressure and heat
Define “Hard/Double Press”
Pressing hair twice on each side with more pressure and heat
Define “Press and Curl”
Involves pressing first then curling or waving with thermal iron
Curling Iron Techniques
Pressing Comb
Use for heat and tension
Define “Hydrogen Bonds”
Physical bonds that are weakened or broken by water or heat. Hydrogen bonds are temporary bonds. Hydrogen bonds break then protein chains shift then hydrogen bonds reform
