CLINICAL EXAM ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
◉ 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.
