Chemical texturizers:
*raise the pH to soften and swell the hair
• lifts the cuticle
•allows solution to reach the cortex
*coarse, resistant hair requires a highly alkaline chemical
solutionwww.pgbeautyscience.com/.../Damage%2016.jpg

Not in Book: Do not add, just listen
The Client Consultation
*most important part
*first:
-determine exactly what the client expects
-what is possible
*nothing will compensate for a lack of communication

The Perm Wrap
•Wet set versus PW
-difference: PW breaks the disulfide bonds
Size, shape, and type of curl =
size, shape, and type of rod
End of story!!!!!

•The correct perm rod and wrapping method=successful PW
***selection of solution
***What you wrap is what you get
Q. Without a perm tool, can I achieve a curl in the hair if the PW solution is applied to just the natural hair? Hair wrapped on a tongue depressor
Q. What curl pattern can we expect to achieve ?

Base Placement
•Position of rod to its base
On base
-45 degrees angle beyond perpendicular
-greater volume
-my preference
-can mark or break the hair…use picks

Off base
-45 degrees below center (perpendicular)
-least volume (scalp area-no curl)
Half off base-
-90 degree angle
-minimizes tension
***minimizes crispness of curl

Base Direction
*horizontally, vertically, or diagonally
*backward, forward, or to one side
*wrapping with the natural direction of hair growth causes
less stress/less breakage
-against hair growth “band” or breakage

FYI: Not on Test
Direction of Hair Growth
Streams, whorls, and cowlicks
• base direction
• wrapping pattern
***wrapping the hair in the opposite direction will help
client manage an area better for about 2 months

Wrapping Techniques
Croquignole perm wrap
*ends to scalp
*in overlapping concentric layers -perpendicular
*produces a tighter curl at the ends and a larger curl at
the scalpNote-not noticeable on short hair/will be obvious in long hair
![Page 52: Chapter 20 Chemical Texture Services](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102410/568145ef550346895db2f3c3/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Spiral perm wrap
*from ends to scalp
*wrapped at an angle
-like a grip on a tennis racket
-angle remains constant
*conventional or loop rods
*produces a uniform curl from scalp to ends
![Page 53: Chapter 20 Chemical Texture Services](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102410/568145ef550346895db2f3c3/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

Chemistry of Permanent Waving
*alkaline solution
-softens and swells the hair
-raises the cuticle
-solution penetrates into the cortex

*five minutes-swelling of cuticle (pH 9.4)
Fig. 20-29
*five minutes with acid-balanced
(pH 7.5)
-far less swelling of the cuticle

Reduction Reaction
*once in the cortex, waving solution breaks the disulfide bonds through a chemical reaction called reduction
-either the addition of hydrogen (in PW)
-or the removal of oxygen
![Page 59: Chapter 20 Chemical Texture Services](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102410/568145ef550346895db2f3c3/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
*PW-due to the addition of hydrogen
*PW solution breaks a disulfide bond by adding a hydrogen atom to each
sulfur atom
*breaks their attachment to each other
*once broken, polypeptide chains forms into new curled shape

*acids do not swells the hair or penetrate the cortex, so manufacturers add an alkalizing agent-ammonia
*new chemical called ATG
“ammonia thioglycolate” (alkaline)
*ATG is the active ingredient or reducing agent

Q. How do you determine the resistance, strength and porosity of the cuticle layer?
Q. If the hair has low porosity, will it require a high alkaline or a
milder alkaline solution?
Q. If the elasticity of the hair is poor, which strength of perm solution should be used?

Types of Permanent Waves
*First alkaline waves (cold waves)
*Developed in 1941
*pH between 9.0-9.6
(10,000 times stronger than hair)
*room temperature (without heat)

*introduced in 1970’s
*pH between 4.5-7.0
*requires heat
*processes more slowly
*does not produce as firm a curl
*GMTG low pH/active ingredient
![Page 74: Chapter 20 Chemical Texture Services](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102410/568145ef550346895db2f3c3/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Q. Since acidic solutions contract the hair (close the cuticle), how does a pH of 7.0 cause the hair to swell?
Look at Fig. 20-324.bp.blogspot.com/.../HellaciousHair222.jpg
![Page 75: Chapter 20 Chemical Texture Services](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102410/568145ef550346895db2f3c3/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
*pH of 7-neutral*pH of 5-hair*every step-tenfold change
pH of 7 is 100 times more alkaline than hair
*pure water is pH 7-can damage the hair-causes it to swell
![Page 76: Chapter 20 Chemical Texture Services](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102410/568145ef550346895db2f3c3/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Acid-balanced waves (used today)
*pH between 7.8-8.2
*not true acid (actually acid-balanced waves)
*process at room temperature
*process more quickly
*produces a firmer curl
![Page 77: Chapter 20 Chemical Texture Services](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102410/568145ef550346895db2f3c3/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
FYI
*all acid waves have three components:
-permanent waving solution
-activator
-neutralizer
*activator tube contains GMTG
-must be added to the waving solution IMMEDIATELY before use
![Page 78: Chapter 20 Chemical Texture Services](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102410/568145ef550346895db2f3c3/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Just know…
-never mix until client is completely wrapped and
draping procedure is complete
-product begins to oxidize immediately
Q. What happens to the solution if it is mixed for 5 minutes prior to
the application?

Q. What will the result be if a weak solution is used on coarse hair?
Q. What will the result be if a strong formula is used on porous hair?
Q. If a plastic cap is not used or is not tight enough, what will be the end result of the PW?
![Page 90: Chapter 20 Chemical Texture Services](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102410/568145ef550346895db2f3c3/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
*most of the processing takes place in the first 5-10 minutes
*additional time allows for the polypeptide chains to shift into
their new configuration
(hair takes the shape of the rod)

Overprocessed Hair
*thorough saturation with stronger solution=more disulfide bonds broken
*does not give more curl
*a properly processed PW should break and rebuild about 50%
of the disulfide bonds
![Page 94: Chapter 20 Chemical Texture Services](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102410/568145ef550346895db2f3c3/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
*if too many disulfide bonds are broken, hair may not have
enough strength left to hold the desired curl

Underprocessed hair
*too few disulfide bonds were broken
*not sufficiently softened
*usually very weak curl/sometimes straight
*processing it more will make it curlier

Neutralization: Stage Two
•rebuilds the disulfide bonds by removing the “extra”
hydrogen
*20-36
*side bonds are reformed to new shape as different pairs
![Page 108: Chapter 20 Chemical Texture Services](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102410/568145ef550346895db2f3c3/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
To recap in layman's terms:
Waving solution softens and swells the hair to break the disulfide bonds…
Q. What would be the result if the perm rods were removed at this point and the hair shampooed?
The neutralizer rehardens the hair so it keeps the shape of the perm rod.

Safety Precautions for Permanent Waving
*protect client’s clothing-gown-water proof shampoo
cape-double drape
*do not give if had an allergic reaction to previous perm

*examine the scalp-skin abrasions-scalp disease
*do not perm if excessively damaged
-signs of breakage
*do not perm if treated with hydroxide relaxers

*test for metallic salts if possibility
*apply protective barrier cream
-hairline and ears
*do not dilute or add anything unless directed by
manufacturer

*do not save any unopened, unused solutions
-chemicals change strength and effectiveness
***Always recommend to the client to wait two days (48 hours) before shampooing
-use professional shampoos and
conditions for chemically treated hair
![Page 131: Chapter 20 Chemical Texture Services](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102410/568145ef550346895db2f3c3/html5/thumbnails/131.jpg)
Mrs. Mandato and Mrs. Kucas say:
Instruct the client to wait 2 days…if the client uses a shampoo or conditioner on their freshly permed hair that is not salon quality-regardless if it is acid-balanced (may contain waxes) the perm could relax…
![Page 132: Chapter 20 Chemical Texture Services](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102410/568145ef550346895db2f3c3/html5/thumbnails/132.jpg)
Q. Who is responsible to re-perm the client’s hair if the perm relaxes?
Q. Who will pay for the second service, your time, and possibly the perm solution used?
Q. Do you want to take that risk?
