Acid-balanced waves

Permanent waves that have a 7.0 or neutral pH that processes at room temperature, processes more quickly and produce firmer curls than true acid waves.

Alkaline waves

Aka cold waves; they have a pH between 9.0 and 9.6, use ammonium thioglycolate (ATG) as the reducing agent, processes at room temperature.

Base relaxers

Relaxers that require the application of protective base cream to the entire scalp prior to the application of the relaxer.

Concave rods

Perm rods that have a smaller diameter in the center that increases to a larger diameter on the ends.

Croquignole perm wrap

Perm where the hair strands are wrapped from the ends to the scalp in overlapping concentric layers.

Disulfide bonds

Strong chemical bonds formed when the sulfur atoms on two adjacent protein chains are joined together.

Endothermic waves

Perm activates by an outside heat source.

Exothermic waves

Create an exothermic chemical reaction that heats up the waving solution and speeds up the process.

Glyceryl monothioglycolate (GMTG)

Main active ingredient in true acid and Acid-balanced waving lotions.

Hydroxide relaxers

Very strong alkalis with a pH over 13.

Lanthionization

Process by which hydroxide relaxers permanently straighten hair; they remove a sulfur atom from a disulfide bond and convert it into a lanthionine bond.

Low pH waves

Perms that use sulfates, sulfites, and bisulfites as an alternative to ATG.

Peptide bond

Aka end bonds; chemical bonds that join amino acids together, end to end in long chains to form polypeptide bonds.

Soft curl perm

A thio based chemical service that reformats curly and wavy hair into looser and larger curls and waves.

True acid waves

Have a pH between 4.5 and 7.0 and require heat to process.

Viscosity

The measurement of the thickness or thinness of a liquid that affects how the fluid flows.

Ammonium thioglycolate

The main active ingredient or reducing agent in alkaline perms?

Glycerol monothioglycolate

The main ingredient in Acid-balanced waving lotions?

Expand the hair

The action of waving lotion is to?

Little or no elasticity

If hair breaks under slight strain it has?

Amino acids

Keratin proteins are made of long chains of _________ linked together end-to-end like beads.

Acid-balanced

Waves that process more quickly and produce firmer curls than true acid waves are considered to be?

Disulfide bonds

Bonds that are formed when the sulfur atoms in two adjacent polypeptide chains are joined together.

Waving lotion

The chemical action of ________ breaks the disulfide bonds and softens the hair.

Hydrogen, salt, and disulfide

Name the 3 types of side bonds.

4.5 to 5.5

What is the natural pH of hair?
