Question:
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
Question:
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.
Question:
Substitutes for ammonia in permanent waving solutions:.
Answer:
Aminomethylpropanol (AMP) Monoethanolamine (MEA)
Question:
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)
,Question:
Glycerol monothioglycolate.
Answer:
Main active ingredient in acid balanced waving lotions. Primary reducing agent in most acid waves.
Low pH
Question:
Sodium hydroxide relaxers are also known as?
Answer:
Lye relaxers
Question:
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.
Question:
Side bonds.
Answer:
Disulfide, salt, and hydrogen bonds that cross- link polypeptide chains together.
Question:
keratin proteins.
Answer:
Long, coiled polypeptide chains.
, Question:
Silicones.
Answer:
Special type of oil used in hair conditioners, water-resistant lubricants for the skin, and nail polish
dryers.
Question:
When a hydroxide relaxer breaks the disulfide bond converting them to lanthonine bonds.
Answer:
The bonds cannot be reformed with any other chemical treatment
Question:
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
Question:
pH level of Hydrogen Peroxide.
Answer:
2.5-4.5
Question:
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
