| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Performed as part of your guest consultation to test how the hair will respond to the chemical | Preliminary Strand Test |
| Protein building blocks of hair that link together to form tiny protein fibers | Amino Acids |
| Also known as End bonds, connect amino Cods (end to end) that form polypestisides | Peptide Bonds |
| Spiraling chain of amino acids, that join together by peptide bonds | Polypeptide Chain |
| also known as CROSS BONDS, connect polypeptide chains side-by-side, responsible for strength and elasticity. | Side Bonds |
| Physical side bond (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 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 blended together, but not chemically altered;each part in mixture maintains its own properties | Physical Mixtures |
| When a substance is able to mix with another substance | Immiscible |
| A measure of mthe acidity or alkalinity of a solution | Potential Hydrogen (pH) |
| A scale ranging from 0 to 14 that measures if a product is a acid (0 to 6.9), an alkaline (7.1 to 14), or neutral (7) | pH Scale |
| To chemically alter naturally curly or wavy hair into a straighter form | Chemical Relaxing |
| The process of removing one sulfur atom and replacing one sulfur atom and replacing it with a disulfide bond | Lanthoionization |
| Solutions with an acidic pH that restore the hair's natural pH after a hydroxide relaxer | Normalizing Lotions |
| 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 a Protective Base Cream, is an oily cream applied on the scalp/skin to protect from the chemicals in the relaxer | Base Cream |
| Also known as REBOUNDING, chemically restoring disulfide bonds to harden into a new shape | Neutralizing |
| Also called an acid/alkali neutralization reaction;it neutralizes any remaining alkaline residuey left by 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's flow | Viscocity |
| 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 | Guanudine Hyrdroxide |
| Requires a protective base cream to be applied to the hairline and scalp, When a relaxer is labeled 'base relaxer' it means it's to strong to be applied without the application on a base cream | Base Relaxer |
| Also known as No-Lye Relaxers, do not require a base cream to be applied to the skin and scalp | No-Base Relaxers |
| Known as THIO RELAXERS by industry standards, are chemical compounds with the additive ingredient ammonia,considered to be 'no-lye' relaxer, suitable for soft curl reformation | Thioglycolate Relaxers |
| A combination of ammonia and this thioglycolic acid that creates a reducing agent used in permanent waves and relaxers | Ammonia Thioglycolate (ATG) |
| A combination of ammonia and this glycolic acid that creates a reducing agent used permanent waves and relaxers | Ammonium Thioglycolate (ATG) |
| A mild, alternative relaxer containing a low pH compatible with thio relaxers | Ammonium Bisulfite Relaxer |
| An organic compound that is colorless, flameable and pungent gas, present in the air and many food and beauty products | Formaldehyde |
| 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 curly or wavy form | Permanent Waving |
| Cream barrier applied around the hairline and ears to protect the skin from permanent wave lotions or haircolor | Protective Cream |
| Chemical solution that stops the waving process if permanent wave; rebuilds the bonds into the new form | Neutralizer |
| The process of stopping a permanent wave and reforming the hair into its new curly shape | Thio Neutralization |
| Determines the required processing time and ensures that the desired curl has been achieved for a permanent wave service | Test Curl |
| Also known as COLD WAVES, process without heat; the main ingredient is this glycolic acid | Alkaline Waves |
| The main active ingredient in true acid waves | Glyceryl Monothioglycolate (GMTG) |
| Permanent waves processed with the application pof heat that have a pH range between 4.5 to 7; the main ingredient is typically glyceryl monothioglycolate (GMTG); these acid waves process slower than alkaline waves | True Acid Waves |
| Permanent waves processed without heat that have a pH ranging between 7.0 to 8.2; produced a firmer curl and process more quickly than true acid waves | Acid Balanced Waves |
| Processed by the application of heat; hood dryer, heat processor | Endothermic Wave |
| Processed by chemical reaction that releases heat; self-heating | Endothermic Wave |
| Use an ingredient other than ammonia to reduce the odor associated with ammonia perms | Ammonia-Free Waves |
| A permanent rod that has a small diameter in the center and a larger diameter increase throughout the length | Concave Rod |
| A perm rod that has a even diameter/ width throughout the entire rod length | Straight Rod |
| Also known as FLEXIBLE ROD, are fiam-covered perm rods that are easily bent into different shapes and used for permanent waving | Bender Rod |
| Also know as CIRCLE ROD, is a long, plastic rod that is used to create spiral curls | Loop Rod |
| Pliable foam rods that allow hair to be chemically altered, creating a sift-end result | Sponge Rod |
| Requires hair to be placed between two end papera, one on each side of the hair strand | Double Flat Wrap |
