Barber Vocabulary Ch. 18; Chemical Texture Services

Front 1

acid-balanced waves

Back 1

perms with a 7.8 to 8.2 pH range that process at room temperature; do not require hair dryer heat

Front 2

alkaline or cold waves

Back 2

perms that process at room temperature without heat with a pH range between 9.0 and 9.6

Front 3

ammonium thioglycolate (ATG)

Back 3

main active ingredient or reducing agent in alkaline waves

Front 4

base control

Back 4

the position of the perm rod in relation to its base section

Front 5

base cream

Back 5

protective cream used on the scalp during hair relaxing

Front 6

base direction

Back 6

angle at which the perm rod is positioned on the head; also the directional pattern in which the hair is wrapped

Front 7

base relaxers

Back 7

relaxers that require the use of a base or protective cream

Front 8

base sections

Back 8

subsections of panels into which the hair is divided for rodding; one tool is normally placed on each base section

Front 9

basic perm wrap

Back 9

rodding pattern in which all the tools within a panel are directed in the same direction

Front 10

bookend wrap

Back 10

perm wrap in which an end paper is folded in half over the hair ends

Front 11

chemical blow-out

Back 11

combination of a relaxer and hairstyling used to create a variety of Afro styles

Front 12

chemical hair relaxing

Back 12

the process of rearranging the basic structure of extremely curly hair into a straightened form

Front 13

chemical texture services

Back 13

hair services that cause a chemical change that permanently alters the natural wave pattern of the hair

Front 14

croquignole rodding

Back 14

rodding from the hair ends to the scalp

Front 15

end wraps

Back 15

end paper; absorbent papers used to protect and control the ends of the hair during perming services

Front 16

endothermic waves

Back 16

perm activated by an outside heat source, usually a hood-type dryer

Front 17

exothermic waves

Back 17

perms that create an exothermic chemical reaction that heats the solution and speeds up processing

Front 18

glyceryl monothioglycolate (GMTG)

Back 18

main active ingredient in true acid and acid-balanced waves

Front 19

hydroxide relaxers

Back 19

relaxers with a very high pH, sometimes over 13

Front 20

lanthionization

Back 20

process by which hydroxide relaxers permanently straighten hair; lanthionzation breads the hair's disulfied bonds during processing and converts them to lanthionine bonds when the relaxer is rinsed from the hair

Front 21

lotion wrap

Back 21

permanent waving wrapping technique in which the waving solution is applied to the section before rodding

Front 22

neutralization

Back 22

process of stopping the action of a permanent wave solution and hardening the hair in its new form by the application of a chemical solution called the neutralizer

Front 23

no-base relaxers

Back 23

relaxers that do not require application of a protective base

Front 24

permanent waving

Back 24

a process used to chemically restructure natural hair into a different wave pattern

Front 25

prewrap solution

Back 25

usually a type of leave-in conditioner that may be applied to the hair prior to permanent waving to equalize porosity

Front 26

reformation curl

Back 26

a soft-curl permanent; combination of a thio relaxer and thio permanent, whereby the hair is wrapped on perm rods; used to make existing curl larger and looser

Front 27

texturize

Back 27

a process used to semistraighten extremely curly hair into a more manageable texture and wave pattern

Front 28

thio relaxers

Back 28

relaxers that usually have a pH above 10 and higher concentration of ammonium thioglycolate than is used in permanent waving

Front 29

true acid waves

Back 29

perms that have a pH between 4.5 and 7.0 and require heat to speed processing; process more slowly than alkaline waves and do not usually produce as firm a curl
