Florida Cosmetology State Board
(Clinical) 2024/2025 Exam Questions and
Answers | 100% Pass
thio-free waves - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Perm that uses an ingredient other than
ATG as the primary reducing agent, such as cysteamine or mercaptamine.
Hydrogen bonds - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Very weak side bonds; that are the
result of attraction between opposite electrical charges. Easily broken by
water or heat. Reform as the hair dries or cools. Accounts for 1/3 of hairs
total strength
Salt bonds - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Weak physical side bonds (cross bonds)
easily broken by change in pH; reform when pH balance is restored.
Accounts for 1/3 of hairs total strength.
Substitutes for ammonia in permanent waving solutions: - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔Aminomethylpropanol (AMP)
Monoethanolamine (MEA)

,ammonia-free waves - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Perms that use an ingredient that
does not evaporate as readily as ammonia, so there is very little odor
associated with their use. (AMP or MEA)
Glycerol monothioglycolate - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Main active ingredient in acid
balanced waving lotions. Primary reducing agent in most acid waves. Low
pH
Sodium hydroxide relaxers are also known as? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Lye
relaxers
acid-balanced waves - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔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.
Side bonds - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Disulfide, salt, and hydrogen bonds that
cross-link polypeptide chains together.
keratin proteins - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Long, coiled polypeptide chains.
Silicones - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Special type of oil used in hair conditioners,
water-resistant lubricants for the skin, and nail polish dryers.

, When a hydroxide relaxer breaks the disulfide bond converting them to
lanthonine bonds.... - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The bonds cannot be reformed with
any other chemical treatment
True acid waves - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔-Have a pH between 4.5-7.0 and require
heat to process.
-He process slower than alkaline waves
-GMTG is the active ingredient
pH level of Hydrogen Peroxide - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔2.5-4.5
Acid waves - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Glyceryl monothioglycolate is the main active
ingredient in true acid and acid-balanced waving lotions. It has a low pH
and is the primary reducing agent in most acid waves. Most acid waves
also contain ATG, just like a cold wave. Although the low pH of acid waves
may seem ideal, repeated exposure to GMTG is known to cause allergic
sensitivity in both hairstylists and clients.
Lanthonization - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The process by which a hydroxide relaxer
removes one atom of sulfur from a disulfide bond.
