Question
Answer
The scientific study of hair, its diseases, and care is called   trichology  
🗑
The follicle, bulb, papilla, arrector pili muscle, and subsceous glands are main structure of the   hair root  
🗑
The tubelike depression or pocket on the skin or scalp that contains the hair root is the   follicle  
🗑
The follicle extends downward from the epidermis, where it surrounds the   dermal papilla  
🗑
A small, cone-shaped area at the base of the hair follicle that fits into the hair bulb is the   dermal papilla  
🗑
A tiny, involuntary muscle fiber inserted in the base of the hair follicle is the   arrector pili  
🗑
An oily substance secreted from the sebaceous glands is   sebum  
🗑
The overlapping layer of hair with transparent, scalelike cells is the   cuticle  
🗑
Swelling the hair raises the cuticle layer and allows for   penetration  
🗑
For chemicals to penetrate a healthy cuticle hair layer they must   have an alkaline pH  
🗑
The fibrous protein core of the hair, formed by elongated cells containing melanin pigment, is the   cortex layer  
🗑
The medulla is the innermost layer of the hair is composed of   round cells  
🗑
Hair is composed of a protein that grows from cells originating within the   hair follicle  
🗑
The process by which living cells mature and begin their journey up the hair shaft is   keratinization  
🗑
The five main elements that make up the chemical composition of human hair   carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur  
🗑
The chemical bonds that hold together the amino acid molecules are   peptide bonds  
🗑
The end bon is also known as a   peptide bond  
🗑
When peptide bonds hold together a very long chain of amino acids, it is called a   polypeptide chain  
🗑
The three types of cross-links that form the bonds between the polypeptide chains are hydrogen bonds, salt bonds, and   disulfide bonds  
🗑
A weak type of physical side bond that is easily broken by water or heat is a   hydrogen bond  
🗑
A salt bond is easily broken with the use of   strong alkaline or acidic solutions  
🗑
Bonds that must be chemically treated separated are   disulfide bonds  
🗑
Hydrogen chemical hair relaxers break disulfide bonds and during rinsing convert them to   lanthionine bonds  
🗑
Pattern of extremely curly hair grows   in long twisted spirals  
🗑
Four important factors to consider in hair analysis are   texture, porosity, elasticity, and density  
🗑
The thickness or diameter of the individual hair strand is the   hair texture  
🗑
The measurement of individual hair strands on one square inch of the scalp is   hair density  
🗑
The ability of the hair to absorb water or oil is   porosity  
🗑
Chemical services performed on hair with low porosity require   more alkaline solutions  
🗑
Hair with high porosity is often the result of   over processing  
🗑
The ability of the hair to stretch and return without breaking is   elasticity  
🗑
Wet hair with normal elasticity will stretch up to   50 percent  
🗑
Dry hair and scalp can be caused   inactive sebaceous glands  
🗑
Oily scalp and hair can be treated by properly shampooing with   normalizing shampoo  
🗑
Hair that is not pigmented and almost never has a medulla is   vellus  
🗑
Long, soft hair found on the scalp, legs, arms, and bodies of males and females is   terminal  
🗑
The phases of hair growth are anagen, catagen, and   telogen  
🗑
The growth phase where new hair is produced is   anagen  
🗑
The average growth of healthy scalp hair is   one inch per month  
🗑
The final or resting phase in the hair growth cycle is   telogen stage  
🗑
Two products approved by the fda to stimulate hair growth and allowed for sale in the US are   minoxidil and finasteride  
🗑
The technical term for gray hair   cantities  
🗑
A variety of cantities characterized by alternating bands of gray and pigmented hair is   ringed hair  
🗑
A condition of abnormal hair growth on area of the body   hypertrichosis  
🗑
Trichorrhexis nodosa is characterized by brittleness of the hair and formulation of   swellings along the hair shaft  
🗑
The technical term used to describe beaded hair is   monilethrix  
🗑
The medical term for dandruff is   pityriasis  
🗑
The medical term used to describe a fungal organism characterized by itching, scales, and painful circular lesions is   tinea  
🗑
the type of fungal infection characterized by red papules at the opening of the hair follicles is   tinea capitis  
🗑
The highly contagious skin disease caused by a mite parasite is   scabies  
🗑
An acute localized bacterial infection of the hair follicle that produces constant pain   a furuncle  
🗑
And inflammation of the subcutaneous tissue caused by staphylococci is   a carbuncle  
🗑
