Question | Answer |
---|---|
acid balanced shampoos | shampoos that are balanced to the pH of hair and skin |
acids | solutions that have a pH below 7 |
alkalis | solutions that have a ph above 7 |
atoms | smallest particles of an element that still retain the properties of that element |
balancing shampoos | designed for hair and scalp conditions |
bases | also known as alkalis |
bluing rinses | temporary colors or shampoo products with a blue base used to offset yellow and gray tones in hair. |
chemical change | change in the chemical composition of a substance by which new substances are formed |
chemical properties | characteristics that can only be determined with a chemical reaction |
chemistry | the science that deals with the composition, structure, and properties of matter |
clarifying shampoo | shampoos containing an acidic ingredient that cuts through product buildup |
color-enhancing shampoos | created by combining surfactant bases with basic dyes |
compounds | two or more different atoms of different elements united chemically with fixed chemical composition, definite proportions, and distinct properties. |
conditioners | chemical agents used to deposit protein or moisturizers in the hair |
deep-conditioning treatments | chemical mixtures of concentrated protein and moisturizers |
dry/powder shampoo | shampoos that cleanse the hair without water |
element | the simplest form of matter |
emulsions | mixtures of two or more immiscible substances united with the aid of a binder or emulsifier |
inorganic chemistry | chemistry dealing with compounds lacking carbon |
instant conditioners | conditioners that typically remain on the hair from 1-5 minutes and are rinsed out |
ion | an atom or molecule that carries an electrical charge |
ionization | the separating of a substance into ions |
leave-in conditioners | conditioners and thermal protectors that can be left in the hair without rinsing |
liquid-dry shampoos | liquid shampoos that evaporate quickly and do not require rinsing |
matter | any substance that occupies space, has physical and chemical properties and exists in solid, liquid or gas form |
medicated rinses | rinses formulated to control minor dandruff and scalp conditions |
medicated shampoo | shampoos containing medical agents for control of dandruff and other scalp conditions |
moisturizing conditioners | contain humectants to absorb and promote the retention of moisture in the air |
moisturizing/conditioning shampoos | products formulated to add moisture to dry hair |
molecules | two or more atoms joined chemically |
organic chemistry | the study of substances containing carbon |
organic shampoos | formulated from natural organic ingredients |
oxidation | chemical reaction that combines an element or compound with oxygen to produce an oxide |
oxides | compounds of any element combined with oxygen |
pH (potential hydrogen) | relative degree of acidity or alkalinity of a substance |
pH scale | a measure of the hydrogen ions in acidic and alkaline solutions |
physical change | change in the form of a substance without the formation of a new substance |
physical mixture | combination of two or more substances united physically |
physical properties | characteristics of matter that can be determined without a chemical reaction |
protein conditioners | products designed to slightly increase hair diameter with a coating action and to replace lost proteins in hair |
pure substance | matter that has a fixed chemical composition, definite proportions, and district properties |
redox | contraction for reduction-oxidation |
reduction | the subtraction of oxygen from, or the addition of hydrogen to a substance |
rinse | an agent used to cleanse or condition the hair and scalp |
salts | compounds that are formed by reaction of acids and bases |
scalp conditioners | cream-based products and ointments used to soften and improve the health of the scalp |
shampoo | removes dirt, oil, perspiration, and skin debris from the hair and scalp |
surfactant | a substance that acts as a bridge to allow oil and water to mix or emulsify by reducing surface tension |
suspensions | formulations in which solid particles are distributed throughout a liquid medium |
synthetic polymer conditioners | formulated to prevent breakage and correct excessive porosity on badly damaged hair |
tonic | cosmetic solution that helps stimulate the scalp, helps to correct a scalp condition or is used as a grooming aid |
