Permanent Wave
Permanent Relaxer
100
Protein building blocks of hair
What is amino acid
100
the scale that ranges from 0-14 and measures if a product is an acid, an alkaline, or neutral
What is pH scale?
100
Side bond that is broken by heat or water then reforms when hair cools or dries
What is hydrogen?
100
two or more types of matter are blended but not chemically joined
What is physical mixture
100
To chemically alter naturally wavy or curly hair into a straighter form
What is a chemical relaxer
200
When two substances cannot mix with each other
What is immiscible?
200
These side bond are easily broken by a change in pH and reform when pH balance is restored
What is salt?
200
the measurement of a liquid's thickness and how that affects the liquid's flow
What is viscosity?
200
a chemical solution that stops the waving process of a permanent wave and rebuilds bonds into their new form
What is neutralizer
200
an oily cream used as a barrier to protect the scalp from chemicals
What is a base cream?
300
A combination of ammonia and thioglycolic acid that makes a reducing agent
What is ammonium thioglycolate?
300
The process where one sulfur atom is removed from a disulfide bond and is converted into a lanthionine bond
What is lanthionization?
300
Chemical side bonds that are broken only by chemical solutions
What is disulfide?
300
measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution
What is Potential Hydrogen (pH)
300
This neutralizes any remaining alkaline residue left by a hydroxide relaxer and helps restore pH
What is a hydroxide neutralizer
400
A spiraling chain of amino acids joined by peptide bonds
What is polypeptide?
400
Type of relaxer that requires the application of a base cream
What is a base relaxer?
400
Relaxer with high alkaline content
What is hydroxide relaxer
400
These bonds connect polypeptide chains side by side and are responsible for strength and elasticity
What is side bond
400
a relaxer that does not require a base
What is no-base?
500
when two substances are able to mix with each other
What is miscible?
500
Helps remove chemicals left after a chemical relaxer and restore hair to normal pH
What is neutralizing shampoo
500
These bonds connect amino acid that form polypeptides
What is peptide
500
combining a thio relaxer and a thio permanent wave in a two step process
What is soft curl reformation
500
A strong alkaline ingredient used in chemical relaxers
What is sodium hydroxide
