| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Performed as part of your guest consultation to test how the hair will respond to the chemical application | Preliminary Strand test |
| Protein building blocks of hair that link together to format tiny protein fibers | Amino Acids |
| Spiraling chain of amino acids; joined together by peptide bonds | Polypeptide Chain |
| Also known as End Bonds, connect amino acids (end to end) that forms polypeptides | Peptide Bonds |
| Also known as Cross Bonds, connect polypeptide chains side-by-side; responsible for strength and elasticity | Side Bonds |
| Physical side Bonds ( cross bond) easily broken by water or heat; reforms when hair cools and/ or dries | Hydrogen Bonds |
| Weak physical side Bonds( cross bonds) easily broken by change in pH; reform when pH balance is restored | Salt Bonds |
| Strong chemical side Bonds that can only be broken by chemical solutions | Disulfide Bonds |
| Any illness caused by overexposure to certain products or ingredients | Occupational Disease |
| Consist of two or more types of matter that are blended together, but not chemically altered; each part in the mixture maintains its own properties | Physical Mixtures |
| When a substance is able to be mixed with another substance | Miscible |
| When a substance is not able to mix with another substance | Immiscible |
| A measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution | Potential Hydrogen (pH) |
| A scale ranging from 0-14 that measures if a product is an acid (0-6.9), an alkaline (7.1-14) or neutral (7) | pH Sale |
| To chemically altered naturally curly or wavy hair into a straighter form | Chemical Relaxing |
| The process of removing one sulfur atom and replacing it with a disulfide bond | Lanthionization |
| Solutions with an acidic pH that restores the hair's natural pH after a hydrogen relaxer | Normalizing lotion |
| Used to help to remove any remaining chemicals left in the hair after a chemical relaxer and to restore hair to normal acidic pH | Neutralizing shampoo |
| Also known as protective base cream is an oily cream applied on the scalp / skin to protect from chemicals in the relaxer | Base Cream |
| Also known as rebonding is chemically restoring disulfide bonds to harden into a new shape | Neutralizing |
| Also called an acid / alkaline neutralization reaction it neutralizes any remaining after alkalines residue left by the hydroxide relaxer and helps to restore the pH of the hair and scalp | Hydroxide Neutralization |
| Measurement of how thick or thin a liquid is and how that affects the liquid flow | Viscosity |
| Relaxers with a high alkaline pH content available in varying formulations | Hydroxide relaxer |
| A strong alkaline ingredient used in chemical relaxers | Sodium hydroxide (lye) |
| A very strong alkaline ingredient used in chemical relaxers typically marketed as no mix no lye | Potassium Hydroxide /Lithium Hydroxide |
| Relaxer requiring the mixing of two products advertised as no-lye' for sensitive skin | Guanine Hydroxide |
| Known as "thio" relaxers by industry standards are chemical compounds with the additive ingredient ammonia considered to be no-one relaxer suitable for soft curl reformation | Thioglycolate Relaxers |
| A combination of ammonia and thioglycolate acid that creates a reducing agent used in permanent waves and relaxers | Ammonium Thioglycolate (ATG) |
| A mild alternative relaxer containing a low pH compatible with thioglycolate Relaxers | Ammonium Bisulfite Relaxer |
| Globally Harmonized System | GHS |
| Every chemical has to have a SDS | OSHA |
| SDS | |
| An organic compounds that is colorless flammable and pungent gas present in the air and many food and beauty products | Formaldehtde |
| Results from the oxidation of primary alcohols there are several other chemicals in the class of highly reactive chemical compounds (composed of carbon hydrogen and oxygen | Aldehyde |
| Products are manufactured without the use of formaldehyde but could omit a formaldehyde gas upon use | Formaldehyde free |
| Chemically rearranging straight hair into a curl or wave form | Permanent waving |
| A cranberry applied around the hairline and ears to protect the skin from permanent wave lotions or hair colors | Protective cream |
| The process of stopping a permanent waves in reforming the hair into is new curl shape | Thio Neutralization |
| Determines the required processing time and it shows that the desire girl has been achieved for a permanent wave service | Test curl |
| Also known as cold waves proceed without heat the main ingredient is thioglycolic acid | Alkaline waves |
| The main active ingredient in true acid waves | Glyceryl Monothioglycolate GMTG |
| Permanent waves process with the application of heat that have a pH range between 4.5 to 7 the main ingredient is typically G MTG these acid waves process slower than alkaline waves | True Acid Waves |
| Permanent waves processed without heat that have a pH range between 7.0 to 8.2 produce a firmer curl and process more quickly than true acid waves | Acid balance waves |
| Process by the application of heat hold dryer heat processor | Endothelial Wave |
