Perm Wraps
Type of perm wrap that has controlled sections of the hair in which perm rods are placed in a rectangular- shaped subsections.
9 block wrap or basic perm wrap
Bonds that can only be broken by chemical solutions
Disulfide Bonds
Chemically rearranging straight hair into a curly or wavy form
Chemical Waving
Product that is applied on the scalp/skin to protect from the chemicals
Base Cream also known as Protective Base Cream
Side of the pH scale that is 7.1 to 14
Alkaline
Type of perm wrap that consists of partings that follow the shape of your guest's head.
Curvature Perm Wrap
Weak physical side bond easily broken by changes in pH and reform when pH balance is restored.
Salt Bonds
Chemical solution that stops the waving process of a permanent wave and rebuilds bonds into new shape
Neutralizer
Strong alkaline ingredient used in chemical relaxers
Sodium Hydroxide (Lye)
Determines processing time needed for a perm
Preliminary Test Curl
Perm wrap that rods are placed within a staggered pattern of subsections.
Bricklay Perm Wrap
Physical side bond easily broken by water or heat and reforms when hair cools and/or dries.
Hydrogen Bond
Type of wave where the main ingredient is Thioglycolic Acid
Alkaline Waves also known as Cold Waves
A very strong alkaline ingredient used in chemical relaxers; typically marketed as no mix, no-lye
Potassium Hydroxide/ Lithium Hydroxide
End paper technique that uses one end paper that is folded in half
Book End Wrap
Perm wrap that consists of wrapping the hair at an angle other than parallel to the length of the rod. Creates a coil curl.
Spiral Perm
Another name for Peptide Bond
End Bonds (they connect amino acids to form polypeptides).
What type of wave has Glyceryl Monothioglycolate (GMTG) as the main ingredient, processes with heat because of the low acidic pH
True Acid Waves
Type of relaxer that is too strong to be applied without the application of a base cream
Base Relaxer
What is hair elasticity?
ability for the hair to stretch and return to its previous form without breaking
This perm wrap is also known as the double rod wrap. Used for longer hair- one rod is used to wrap from scalp to midshaft, and second rod is used to wrap the remaining hair in that section.
Piggyback Perm Wrap
Another name for Side Bonds
Cross Bonds (connect polypeptide chains side by side and responsible for strength and elasticity.
Permanent waves that are processed without heat, sit higher on the pH scale and produces a firmer curl and can process quick
Acid Balanced Waves
Type of relaxer that has ammonia and considered a no-lye relaxer
Thioglycolate Relaxers aka Thio Relaxer
Used to help remove any remaining chemicals left in the hair after a chemical relaxer and restores hair pH.
