Hair Structure
The strongest part of the hair.
What is the CORTEX?
This is the weakest bond.
What is the HYDROGEN BOND?
This makes up 65-95% of hair.
What is PROTEIN?
This is an atom with an electron imbalance.
What is an ION?
In lightener, this controls how fast the desired result will be achieved.
What is DEVELOPER?
May contain 4-18 layers depending on hair texture.
What is the CUTICLE?
These are affected by a change in pH.
What are SALT BONDS?
This gives the hair the ability to stretch.
What is MOISTURE?
The pH scale is used to measure these 2 types of ions.
What are ACIDIC & ALKALINE?
The percentage in developer indicates the percentage of this to water.
What is HYDROGEN PEROXIDE?
Amino acids that can be created by the body.
What are NONESSENTIAL amino acids?
These are affected by reactive chemicals.
What are DISULFIDE BONDS?
These 3 PM products contain carbohydrates.
What are SCULPTING FOAM, SUPER SCULPT & REWORKS?
pH is only present when this is present.
What is WATER?
This PM color line has a synthetic beeswax base.
What is THE COLOR XG?
50 amino acids linked together by the peptide bond create this.
What is a PROTEIN?
7-9 of these twist & bind to form larger bundles to form microfibrils.
What are HELIX COILS?
This makes up only 1% of hair.
What is Melanin?
When hair is colored, these ions are removed.
What are POSITIVE IONS?
These are used as a pH adjuster.
What are MEAs?
Polypeptide chains are cross-linked by cross bonds & twist around each other to form this.
What is a HELICAL COIL?
7-9 macrofibrils twist & bind to form these.
What are FIBRILS/CORTICAL CELLS?
This contains copper & turns orange in the oxidation process.
What is PHEOMELANIN?
When 2 negative ions repel each other, they cause the cuticle to do this.
What is SWELL?
This is used to increase the pH of the hair by removing positive ions.
What is AMMONIA?
