base placement - ANSWER -Refers to the first arch (turn) gives curl definition and mobility
position of the rod in relation to its base section; hair between scalp and the first turn of the roller
base is determined by the angle at which the hair
is wrapped.
circle - ANSWER -forms a complete circle
the wave size of a curl will determine width/wave

control in which the hair is wrapped at a 45-
degree angle beyond perpendicular to its base
section, and the rod is positioned on its base. No stem curl - ANSWER -(Betty boo) on

half of base placement - ANSWER -hair is
wrapped at a 90° perpendicular to its base Half stem curl - ANSWER -Curl placed half
section rod is positioned half off its base section off the base; permits medium movement and
minimize stress and tension on hair gives good control to the hair.

Exothermic - ANSWER -produces heat
Base direction - ANSWER -Angle at which (alkaline) heats up waving solution
the rod is positioned on the head (horizontally,
vertically, or diagonally); also, the directional
pattern in which the hair is wrapped. Endothermic - ANSWER -Absorbs/require
heat (acid) use hooded dryer (less damaging)
base sections - ANSWER -Subsections of
panels into which hair is divided for perm ammonia-free waves - ANSWER -Perms
wrapping; one rod is normally placed on each that use an ingredient that does not evaporate as
base section. readily as ammonia, so there is very little odor
associated with their use.

low-pH waves - ANSWER -Perms that use
sulfates, sulfites, and bisulfites as an alternative curl activator - ANSWER -Helps new curl
to ammonium thioglycolate (atg) they have a low configurations retain their shape and provides
pH. Weak don't provide strong curl moisture; applied frequently after every shampoo
hair density - ANSWER -The number of Instant Moisturizer - ANSWER -Helps
individual hair strands on 1 square inch of scalp. replace natural moisture and oils lost during
chemical processes
hair porosity - ANSWER -The ability of the
hair to absorb moisture How many steps are in curl reformation -
ANSWER -2 steps
Hair elasticity - ANSWER -The ability of the
hair to stretch and return to its original length How many times do you unwind a curl for a curl
test - ANSWER -1/1.2
Low porosity - ANSWER -When the cuticle
is tight and the hair is resistant, it is difficult for exterior length - ANSWER -Bottom

describes this condition?
Interior length - ANSWER -On top
High porosity - ANSWER -When the cuticle
is lifted and the hair is overly porous and takes Volume indentation - ANSWER -Brush is
color quickly the hair would be said to have positioned underneath
Average porosity - ANSWER -The cuticle is indentation - ANSWER -Brush is positioned
slightly raised. The hair is normal and processes on top of hair strand
in an average amount of time. (Normal)
Resistant porosity - ANSWER -The cuticle
Curl rearranger - ANSWER -reduces layers are smooth, tightly packed and compact.
