QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
◉ 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.
◉ Volatile organic compounds.
Answer: Compounds containing carbon that evaporate easily.
ex.) SD alcohol (ethyl) in hairspray
Used in nail polish, base & top coat & polish removers
◉ Ammonia.
Answer: Colorless gas with pungent odor composed of hydrogen &
nitrogen. Used to raise pH in hair products to allow solution to
penetrate hair shaft.
◉ amino acids.
Answer: Carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, sulfur, oxegyn
◉ What is waving lotion?.
Answer: Hair gel that keeps it in place during finger waving process
◉ alkaline solution.
Answer: A solution that has a pH above 7.0 (neutral) soften and
swells the cuticle.
