Florida cosmetology state
board (clinical) questions
and answers
thio-free waves - (Correct Answer) Perm that uses an ingredient
other than ATG as the primary reducing agent, such as cysteamine
or mercaptamine.
Hydrogen bonds - (Correct 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 - (Correct 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: - (Correct
Answer) Aminomethylpropanol (AMP)
Monoethanolamine (MEA)
ammonia-free waves - (Correct 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 - (Correct 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? - (Correct Answer)
Lye relaxers
acid-balanced waves - (Correct 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 - (Correct Answer) Disulfide, salt, and hydrogen bonds
that cross-link polypeptide chains together.
keratin proteins - (Correct Answer) Long, coiled polypeptide chains.
Silicones - (Correct 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.... - (Correct Answer) The bonds cannot be
reformed with any other chemical treatment
True acid waves - (Correct 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 - (Correct Answer) 2.5-4.5
Acid waves - (Correct 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 - (Correct Answer) The process by which a hydroxide
relaxer removes one atom of sulfur from a disulfide bond.
Volatile organic compounds - (Correct Answer) Compounds
containing carbon that evaporate easily.
ex.) SD alcohol (ethyl) in hairspray
Used in nail polish, base & top coat & polish removers
Ammonia - (Correct Answer) Colorless gas with pungent odor
composed of hydrogen & nitrogen. Used to raise pH in hair products
to allow solution to penetrate hair shaft.
