Safety and Disinfection
Which method is the following? Clean tools with warm, soapy water; be sure to remove visible debris. Next, submerge tools in an EPA-registered disinfectant. Always follow manufacturer’s directions for proper contact time and mixing ratios. Contact time is the amount of time the disinfectant must stay moist on a surface in order for it to be effective
Disinfecting (method 1)
is the technical term for the study of the hair, the disorders and diseases of hair and hair care.
trichology
also known as Cross Bonds, connect the polypeptide chains side-by-side and are responsible for the hair’s strength and elasticity.
side bonds
the smallest part of an element
atom
is a barrier that is applied directly to the scalp before the chemical relaxer process
Base cream
a form affirming that your Guest was advised of the potential risks that could result during the requested chemical service.
release statement
the protein building blocks
of hair and link together to form tiny protein fibers
amino acids
weak, physical side bonds that are easily broken by water or heat.
hydrogen bonds
are created when 1 or 2 atoms combine and retain their chemical
and physical properties to form matter
molecule
developed with the purpose that chemicals ‘should be harmonized in order to develop a single, globally harmonized system to address classification of chemicals.
The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals or GHS
Which method is the following? Clean tools with warm, soapy water; be sure to remove visible debris. Next, place tools in a high-pressure steam unit, called an autoclave. Sterilization will destroy all microbial life, including spores.
Sterilization (method 2)
The living cells that start this whole process, and are the building blocks for the hair, skin, and nails, are composed of a strong, fibrous protein
keratin
are also weak, physical side bonds that are easily broken by changes in pH.
salt bonds
are chemical substances consisting of atoms or
ions of 2 or more elements in definite proportions, which cannot be separated by physical means
compunds
mandates that every chemical located within a business must have a Safety Data Sheet
osha
performed as part of your Guest consultation to test how the hair will respond to the chemical application.
preliminary strand test
Amino acids are connected end to end forming aka an end bond
peptide bonds
are strong chemical side bonds that can only be broken by
chemical solutions.
disulfide bonds
matter altered to a different shape temporarily, but eventually returning
to its original state.
physical change
These sheets detail the proper storage and disposal of all chemicals used in the salon.
SDS or safety data sheet
any illness caused by overexposure to certain products or ingredients.
occupational disease
are a spiraling chain of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds.
polypeptide chains
