Question 1: ammonium thioglycolate (ATG)
Answer:
Active ingredient or reducing agent in alkaline permanents
Question 2: thio neutralization
Answer:
Stops the action of a permanent wave solution and rebuilds the hair in its new curly form
Question 3: soft curl permanent
Answer:
A thio based chemical service that reformats curly and wavy hair into looser and larger curls and waves
Question 4: soft bender rods
Answer:
Tool about 12 inches long with a uniform diameter along the entire length.
Question 5: thio-free waves
Answer:
Perm that uses an ingredient other than ATG as the primary reducing agent, such as cysteamine or mercaptamine.
Question 6: disulfide bonds
Answer:
Strong chemical side bonds formed when the sulfur atoms in two adjacent protein chains are joined together
Question 7: curvature permanent wrap
Answer:
Perm wrap in which partings and bases radiate throughout the panels to follow the curvature of the head.
Question 8: endothermic waves
Answer:
perm activated by an outside heat source, usually a conventional hood- type hair dryer
Question 9: half off-base placement
Answer:
Base control in which the hair is wrapped at an angle of 90 degrees or perpendicular to its base section, and the rod is positioned half off its base section.
Question 10: straight rods
Answer:
Perm rods that are equal in diameter along their entire length or curling area
Question 11: peptide bonds
Answer:
Also known as end bonds; chemical bonds that join amino acids together, end-to-end in long chains, to form polypeptide chains.
Question 12: lanthionization
Answer:
Process by which hydroxide relaxers permanently straighten hair; they remove a sulfur atom from a disulfide bond and convert it into a lanthionine bond.
Question 13: bricklay permanent wrap
Answer:
Perm wrap similar to actual technique of bricklaying; base sections are offset from each other row by row to prevent noticeable splits and to blend the flow of the hair.
Question 14: weave technique
Answer:
wrapping technique that uses zigzag partings to divide base areas
Question 15: base placement
Answer:
Refers to the position of the rod in relation to its base section; base placement is determined by the angle at which the hair is wrapped.
Question 16: metal hydroxide relaxers
Answer:
Ionic compounds formed by a metal (sodium, potassium, or lithium) which is combined with oxygen and hydrogen.
Question 17: concave rods
Answer:
Perm rods that have a smaller diameter in the center that increases to a larger diameter on the ends.
Question 18: loop rod
Answer:
Also known as circle rod; tool that is usually about 12 inches long with a uniform diameter along the entire length of the rod.
Question 19: thio relaxer
Answer:
Use the same ammonium thioglycolate (ATG) that is used in permanent waving, but at a higher concentration and a higher pH (above 10).
Question 20: spiral perm wrap
Answer:
Hair is wrapped at an angle other than perpendicular to the length of the rod, which causes the hair to spiral along the length of the rod, similar to the stripes on a candy cane.
Question 21: base control
Answer:
Position of the tool in relation to its base section, determined by the angle at which the hair is wrapped.A
Question 22: viscosity
Answer:
The measurement of the thickness or thinness of a liquid that affects how the fluid flows
Question 23: basic permanent wrap
Answer:
Also known as straight set wrap; perm wrapping pattern in which all the rods within a panel move in the same direction and are positioned on equal-sized bases; all the base sections are horizontal and are the same length and width as the perm rod.
Question 24: single flat wrap
Answer:
Perm wrap that is similar to double flat wrap but uses only one end paper, placed over the top of the strand of hair being wrapped.
Question 25: polypeptide chains
Answer:
Long chains of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds
