| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Use the same ammonium thioglycolate that is used in permanent waving, but at a higher concentration and a higher pH(above 10). | Thio relaxers |
| Conditioners with an acidic pH that restore the hair's natural pH after a hydroxide relaxer and prior to shampooing. | Normalizing lotions |
| Relaxers that do not require application of a protective base cream. | No-base relaxers |
| Ionic compounds formed by a metal(sodium, potassium, or lithium) which is combined with oxygen and hydrogen. | Metal hydroxide relaxers |
| Process by which hydroxide relaxers permanently straighten hair; they remove a sulfur atom from a disulfide bond and convert it into a Ianthionine bond. | Ianthionization |
| Very strong alkalis with a pH over 13; the hydroxide ion is the active ingredient in all hydroxide relaxers. | Hydroxide relaxers |
| An acid-alkali neutralization reaction that neutralizes the alkaline residues left in the hair by a hydroxide relaxer and lowers the pH of the hair and scalp; hydroxide relaxer neutralization does not involve oxidation or rebuild disulfide bonds. | Hydroxide neutralization |
| Also known as protective base cream; oily cream used to protect the scalp and skin during hair relaxing. | Base cream |
| The process or service that rearranges the structure of curly hair into a straighter or smoother form. | Chemical hair relaxing |
| The measurement of the thickness or thinness of a liquid that affects the how the fluid flows. | Viscosity |
| Combines the use of a thio relaxer with hair straightening. | Japanses thermal straightening |
| Formulated for fine, color-treated, or damaged hair. | Mild-strengh relaxers |
| Intended for normal hair texture with a medium natural curl. | Regular-strength relaxers |
| For maximum straightening on very coarse, extremely curly, and resistant hair. | Super-strength relaxers |
| How long should you wait to color hair after relaxing the hair? | Two weeks |
| What occurs when applying thio or hydroxide relaxers to hair treated with haircolor containing metallic salts? | Extreme damage or breakage |
| Most common relaxer often called lye relaxers. | Sodium hydroxide relaxers |
| When you stretch the strands to see how fast the natural curls are being removed. | Strand test |
| Contain silicone polymers and formalin or similar ingredients, which release formaldehyde gas when heated to high temperatures. | Keratin straightening treatment |
| Very effective for extremely curly hair. | Sodium hydroxide |
| Causes less skin irritation than other hydroxide relaxers. | Guanidine hydroxide |
| Compatible with soft curl permanents. | Ammonium thioglycolate |
| Less damaging to hair. | Ammonium sulfate/ammonium bisulfate |
| A combination of a thio relaxer and a thio permanent that is wrapped on large rods to make existing curls larger and looser. | Soft curl permanent |
| You should not apply a hydroxide relaxer that has been previously treated with a ___________. | Thio relaxer |
