Exam Questions And Correct Answers
thio-free waves
Perm that uses an ingredient other than ATG as the primary reducing agent, such
as cysteamine or mercaptamine.
Hydrogen bonds
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
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:
Aminomethylpropanol (AMP)
Monoethanolamine (MEA)
,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. (AMP or MEA)
Glycerol monothioglycolate
Main active ingredient in acid balanced waving lotions. Primary reducing agent in
most acid waves. Low pH
Sodium hydroxide relaxers are also known as?
Lye relaxers
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.
Side bonds
Disulfide, salt, and hydrogen bonds that cross-link polypeptide chains together.
, keratin proteins
Long, coiled polypeptide chains.
Silicones
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....
The bonds cannot be reformed with any other chemical treatment
True acid waves
-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
2.5-4.5
