Composition Of Hair
Types of side bonds
Mixtures
Relaxing
100
are the protein building blocks of hair and link together to form tiny protein fibers.
Amino Acids
100
Amino acids are connected end to end and form a what?
Peptide Bonds
100
Weak and broken by water
Hydrogen Bonds
100
matter that are blended together but not chemically altered
Physical Mixtures
100
to chemically alter hair to a straighter texture
Chemical Relaxing
200
scale ranging from 0-14
PH Scale
200
a chain of acids joined together by peptide bonds
Polypeptide Chains
200
Easily broken by the change of PH
Salt Bonds
200
Substances that can mix
Miscible
200
A barrier on the scalp to protect it from chemicals.
Base Cream
300
remove any remaining chemicals left in the hair and restore hair to normal acidic PH
Neutralizing Shampoos
300
(Cross Bonds) are responsible for the hair's strength and elasticity.
Side Bonds
300
Only broken by chemicals
Disulfide Bonds
300
it rebuilds bonds into their new form
Neutralizer
300
It neutralizes any remaining alkaline residue left by hydroxide relaxer and helps to restore the pH of the hair and scalp
Hydroxide Neutralization
400
used in chemical relaxers and permanent waves
ATG
400
require a protective base cream to be applied to the hairline and scalp
Base Relaxers
400
Can't mix
Immiscible
400
Strong alkaline used in chemical relaxers
Sodium Hydroxide
400
allows the product to stay on the hair while being manipulated
Viscosity
500
1 sulfur atom is removed, replacing the disulfide bond with a Lantionine
Lanthionization
500
do not require a base cream applied to the skin or scalp
No-Base Relaxers
500
measuring the acidity or alkalinity
Potential Hydrogen
500
require a protective base cream to be applied to the hairline and scalp
Base Relaxers
500
Have a high alkaline
Hydroxide Relaxer
