An acid-alkali neutralization reaction that neutralizes (deactivates) the alkaline
residues left in the hair by a hydroxide relaxer and lowers the pH of the hair and
scalp; hydroxide relaxer neutralization does not involve oxidation or rebuild
disulfide bonds.

Acid-Balanced Waves Permanent waves that have a 7.0 or neutral pH;
because of their higher pH, they process at room
temperature, do not require the added heat of a hair
dryer, process more quickly, and produce firmer
curls than true acid waves.
, Alkaline waves Also known as cold waves; have pH between 9.0 and
9.6, use ammonium thioglycolate (ATG) as the
reducing agent, and process without the addition of
heat according to the manufacturer's instructions
Ammonia-free waves Perms that use an ingredient that does not evaporate
as readily as ammonia, so there is very little odor
associated with their use.
ammonium thioglycolate (ATG) Active ingredient or reducing agent in alkaline
permanents.
Base control Perm rod's position in relation to its base section;
determined by the angle at which the hair is wrapped
Base cream Also known as protective base cream; oily cream
used to protect the skin and scalp during hair
relaxing process
Base direction Angle at which the rod is positioned on the head
(horizontally, vertically, or diagonally); also, the
directional pattern in which the hair is wrapped.
Base placement Refers to the rods position in relation to its base
section; base placement is determined by the angle
at which the hair is wrapped
Base relaxers Relaxers that require a separate application of a base
cream before a relaxer application; applied on the
entire scalp, next to the entire hairline, the nape of
the neck, and the top and back of the ears
Base sections Subsections of panels into which hair is divided for
perm wrapping; one rod is normally placed on each
base section.
