Hair Structure and perming
100

In 1905, this person created the first heat permanent waving machine

Charles Nessler

100

This perm wrap creates uniform curls throughout the hair

Basic Perm Wrap

100

These thin, absorbent papers are used to control the ends of the hair when wrapping or winding hair on the perm rods

End Papers

100

Perm solutions that generate heat as a result of their chemical reaction are known as __________

Exothermic

100

This layer of the hair is primarily affected during the perming process

The Cortex

200

In this decade, the first heatless chemical perm was introduced

1930s

200

This perm techniques involves wrapping hair along the length of the rod to create elongated curls

Spiral Perm Wrap

200

These rods are equal in diameter along their entire length to produce a uniform curl

Straight Rods

200

Perm Solutions that are activated by an outside heat source are known as __________

Endothermic

200

These bonds are broken and reformed to create permanent curls during a perm service

Disulfide Bonds

300

In the 1970s, Acid waves appeared on the market which did not contain _______________

Ammonia

300

In this technique, two rods are used on the same section of hair to create extra volume and tighter curls

Piggyback Wrap

300

These rods have a smaller diameter in the centre that increases to a larger diameter on the ends

Concave Rods

300

This chemical is the active ingredient in alkakine and exothermic waves

Ammonium Thioglycolate (ATG)
300

This protein found in the hair's cortex is responsible for the hair's strength and is altered during the perming process

Keratin

400

In 1938, Arnold F Willatt invented the first__________

Cold Wave
400

This technique involves varying the size and placement of rods to create a natural looking wave pattern

Bricklay Perm Wrap

400

These soft foam rods have flexible wire inside that permits them to be bent into almost any shape

Benders

400

This perm solution should be used on porous/damaged hair

Acid Wave

400

The role of this chemical is to re-establish the disulfide bonds in the hair structure

Neutralizer

500

In the 1920s, this method of wrapping hair was created to accomodate short hair

Croquignole (overlap) method

500

This perm pattern uses pie shaped base sections to move with the shape of the head

Curvature/Contour Perm Wrap

500

These pointed tools are used during the perm process to lift and separate the hair wrapped around perm rods

Perm Picks

500

This perm solution has a pH of 9.0-9.6

Alkaline Waves

500

This hair attribute determines the processing time for a perm and can affect the outcome
