ammonia-free waves - (Correct Answer) Perms that use an ingredient ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
that does not evaporate as readily as ammonia, so there is very little
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
odor associated with their use. (AMP or MEA)
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
Glycerol monothioglycolate - (Correct Answer) Main active ingredient
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
in acid balanced waving lotions. Primary reducing agent in most acid
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
waves. Low pH
ji ji ji
Sodium hydroxide relaxers are also known as? - (Correct Answer) Lye
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
relaxers
ji
acid-balanced waves - (Correct Answer) Permanent waves that have a ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
7.0 or neutral pH; because of their higher pH, they process at room
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
temperature, do not require the added heat of a hair dryer, process
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
more quickly, and produce firmer curls than true acid waves.
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
, Side bonds - (Correct Answer) Disulfide, salt, and hydrogen bonds
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
that cross-link polypeptide chains together.
ji ji ji ji ji
keratin proteins - (Correct Answer) Long, coiled polypeptide chains.
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
Silicones - (Correct Answer) Special type of oil used in hair ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
conditioners, water-resistant lubricants for the skin, and nail polish
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
dryers.

When a hydroxide relaxer breaks the disulfide bond converting them
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
to lanthonine bonds.... - (Correct Answer) The bonds cannot be
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
reformed with any other chemical treatment
ji ji ji ji ji ji
True acid waves - (Correct Answer) -Have a pH between 4.5-7.0 and
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
require heat to process.
ji ji ji ji
-He process slower than alkaline waves
ji ji ji ji ji ji
-GMTG is the active ingredient ji ji ji ji
pH level of Hydrogen Peroxide - (Correct Answer) 2.5-4.5
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
Acid waves - (Correct Answer) Glyceryl monothioglycolate is the main
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
active ingredient in true acid and acid-balanced waving lotions. It has
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
a low pH and is the primary reducing agent in most acid waves. Most
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
acid waves also contain ATG, just like a cold wave. Although the low
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
pH of acid waves may seem ideal, repeated exposure to GMTG is
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
known to cause allergic sensitivity in both hairstylists and clients.
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
Lanthonization - (Correct Answer) The process by which a hydroxide ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
relaxer removes one atom of sulfur from a disulfide bond.
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
Volatile organic compounds - (Correct Answer) Compounds ji ji ji ji ji ji
containing carbon that evaporate easily.
ji ji ji ji ji ji
ex.) SD alcohol (ethyl) in hairspray
ji ji ji ji ji ji
Used in nail polish, base & top coat & polish removers
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
Ammonia - (Correct Answer) Colorless gas with pungent odor ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
composed of hydrogen & nitrogen. Used to raise pH in hair products
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
to allow solution to penetrate hair shaft.
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
amino acids - (Correct Answer) Carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, sulfur,
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
