CH 20 VOCAB #1

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

• Ammonium Thioglycolate

• Amino Acids

• Alkaline Waves

• Acid-Balanced Waves

Also known as cold waves; they have a pH between 9.0 and 9.6, use

ammonium thioglycolate (ATG) as the reducing agent, and process at

room temperature without the addition of heat

• Alkaline Waves

• Acid-

  Balanced Waves

• Amino Acids

• Ammonia-Free Waves

Compounds made up of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur

• Alkaline Waves

• Acid-Balanced Waves

• Amino Acids

• Ammonia-Free Waves

Perms that use an ingredient that does not evaporate as readily as

ammonia, so there is very little odor associated with their use

• Acid-Balanced Waves

• Amino Acids

• Alkaline Waves

• Ammonia-Free Waves

Active ingredient or reducing agent in alkaline permanents

• Acid-Balanced Waves

• Ammonium Thioglycolate (ATG)

• Ammonia-Free Waves

• Alkaline Waves

Position of the tool in relation to its base section, determined by the angle at which the hair is wrapped

• Base Placement

• Base Control

• Base Cream

• Base Direction

Also known as protective base cream; oily cream used to protect the skin and scalp during hair relaxing

• Base Placement

• Base Direction

• Base Control

• Base Cream

Angle at which the rod is positioned on the head (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally); also, the directional pattern in which the hair is wrapped

• Base Direction

• Base Placement

• Base Cream

• Base Control

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

• Base Sections

• Base Direction

• Base Control

• Base Placement

Relaxers that require the application of protective base cream to the

entire scalp prior to the application of the relaxer

• Base Control

• Base Cream

• Base Sections

• Base Relaxers
