Nail disorder - Horizontal wavy ridges caused by uneven growth due to illness or injuries.

Nail disorder - vertical lines down the nail plate caused by nutrition, injury or illness.

White spots on the nail caused by injury to the base of the nail

Split or brittle nails caused by injury, careless filing, vitamin deficiencies, illness, and frequent exposure to strong chemicals.

Caused by dry cuticle and carlessness in removing the cuticle

Nail fungus caused by a parasite. very contagious

Ingrown nail caused by filing the nail too much, or tight fitting shoes.

Warts caused by infectious virus

lifting of the nail without shedding

squoval, round, oval, pointed, square

used on pre-lightened hair to achieve pale and delicate colors after decoloring

protein conditioner that will equalize porosity and fill the holes

used to replace the missing primary colors

Demi- permenant and permenant color

temporary - physical change only. Semi-permanent.

decolorizing and toning

Melanin - the more there is the longer the process. Scalp processes faster because of body heat

lightening by breaking up the melanin to decolorize hair

means that product only deposits color because it does not contain ammonia or high alkalinity necessary to lift

oxidizing agent H2O2 when mixed with ammonia it will break up the melanin and give ability to lift or lighten

non-oxidative, temporary color, stains cuticle, fades in each shampoo.

oxidative, deposit only, deepens or changes the tone

lightens and deposits at the same time. more alkaline ingredients, penetrates the cortex, can't shampoo out

Red, Blue, Yellow

unequal combo of primary color

Equal parts of primary colors

red, orange, yellow

blue, green, violet

perfect combo of both cool and warm tones

Brown to black pigments

Red to yellow pigments

largest diameter, greatest amount of melanin, processing time and lift is affected

has a balance of melanin, typically no problems

smallest diameter, least amount of melanin, more susceptible to darker drabber results, more prone to damage

AKA cold waves - ammonium thioglycolate (thio and ammonia). ph - 9.0-9.6, no tension, solution causes hair to swell, processes at RT

AKA heat waves- glycerol monothioglycolate. ph - 7.8-8.2. will require heat to speed processing

required added heat source

self heating

Wrapping technique from ends to scalp, causes tighter curls on ends. also referred to as "overlapping method"

hair is held 90* straight up

hair is held 45* down

double flat, bookend, cushion wrap

hydroxide relaxer removes 1 of the sulfer atoms converting from a disulfide bond converting it into a lanthionine bond, which is only 1 sulfur atom. can never be reformed

Thio relaxers

ability to stretch and return to original length without breaking. wet - 50%, dry - 20%

color pigment. eumelanin, and pheomelanin

medulla, cuticle, and cortex

center core of hair, does nothing

7-14 scale like layers, outer layer of hair

has hair pigment (melanin), 90% of hair weight, elasticity, strength, all chemical changes

Epidermis, Dermis, Subcutaneous tissue

Outer layer of skin, protective/water proof, contains keratin and fats, stratum germinativum

basal cell layer of epidermis that produces melanin that protects from uv rays

"True skin" sensitive layer of connective tissue, 25x thicker than the epidermis, 70% of layer is made of collagen protein, elastin, and blood vessels

oil/sebum glands

sweat glands

fatty layer, below the dermis

4.5-5.5

massage from insertion to origin

attached end to another muscle or movable bone

fixed attachment to a bone or tissue

light continuous stroking/no pressure, soothing/relaxing

protection, sensations, heat regulation, excretion, secreation

Largest organ of the body, first defense against disease, germs, and environment.

pulling hair away from its natural fall

every half inch

the process of shaping and directing hair into a pattern of "s" shaped waves throughout the use of fingers, combs, and waving lotion or gel

serve as the basis for patterns, lines, waves, curls and rolls that are used in a wide range of hair styles

used to create many of the same effects as stand up pin curls

base, stem, circle

classified as "low ph" or "no lye", will not relax extremely curly hair

known as "no lye" always has to be mixed with an activator, less scalp irritation, more drying to hair, swells hair more

density, texture, elasticity, porosity, growth direction, length
