Perm Theory
The two major phases of a perm are
What is Physical and Chemical
Breaks the disulfide bonds
What is Perm Solution
Hair’s Ability to absorb moisture, liquids or chemicals
What is Porosity
This is also known as the finger test
What is the porosity test?
The chemical phase of perming begins once the hair has been wrapped on perm rod, and
What is when perm solution is applied to hair?
The physical phase of perming involves
What is wrapping client’s hair around perm tool
Also called a Soft Wave
What is an Acid Perm
The four basic tool positions in perms include on, half-off and
What is off-base?
Here’s ability to stretch and return without breaking
What is elasticity?
Basic steps for processing perms is first apply perm solution
What is time, test, rinse and blot?
This is applied to reharden and fix hair into new waves/curls
What is Neutralizer
Employers are required to make these available for reference
SDS (Safety Data Sheets)
One in paper folded in half is which perm wrapping technique
What is book end?
Which perm tool is used to control hair ends and keep hair smoothly wrapped around perm rod
What are in the papers?
Thoroughly rinsing out the perm solution does
What is stop processing action?
Positioning texture in a particular area(s) of the head
What is zone perming
Also known as rebonding
What is Neutralizer
A pre-perm analysis includes porosity, elasticity, texture, and
What is density?
The degree of Coarseness or fineness in the hair strand is
What is texture?
This step is important to do so neutralizer is not diluted
What is blotting?
The reducing agent in the chemical phase of perming
What is Perm Solution (Ammonia Thioglycolate)
Don’t smell as strong
What is Ammonia Free Waves
This perm solution recommendation is for porous hair types
What is an acid perm?
Normal dry hair can be stretched
What is 20%
When testing for curl pattern this shape/pattern is prevalent
What is S – shape?
