In order to permanently cold wave the hair, it is necessary tobreak both S-bonds and H-bonds
In cold waving, the removal of all foreign matter, including excess shampoo, serves to insurerapid and uniform penetration of waving lotion
In cold waving, water saturated hair fiber, towel dried only, will tend toincrease the rate of solution absorption
The action of the cold wave solution serves to break the H-bonds andmany of the S-bonds
During the processing phase of cold waving, borken S- and H-bonds will allow avery small slippage of each keratin chain
Alkaline type cold waving solutions usually containammonium thioglycolate
Neutralizers used in cold waving are rich inoxygen atoms
Most cold wave neutralizers containhydrogen peroxide
The typical pH range for neutralizers used in alkaline thio-type permanent waving is3.0 to 4.0
In the cold waving process, borken cystine - or S-bonds must be re-formed whilekeratin chains are in their new position
During the cold wave process, the amount of slip of the keratin chains in the cortex can be carefully measured bytest curls
If neutralizer is applied before a sufficient number of chemical bonds of the cortex have been broken, the hair will beunder-processed
If cold wave processing is continued beyond the stage of what might be considered over-processed, hair will becompletely damaged
In over-processing hair, the slip of the keratin chains on the rods becomes exaggerated, and the solution begins toweaken the end bonds
Hair breakage and loss of cuticle scales are signs ofover-processing
A knowledge of the cortex/cuticle ratio is more important in the case offine hair
Fine hair is often harder to wave because it has a/anlow cortex/cuticle ratio
The waving action of cold waving solution acts mainly upon theimbrications
In cold waving, an important step that serves to reduce the penetration time of resistant hair isthorough shampooing
The absorption of water by the porous sections of the cortex retards the action of the cold wave solution bydilution
When recently permanent waved hair is set and driedtwo waves are formed, one built around the other
Although S-bonds are individually much stronger than H-bonds, H-bonds can control the hairstyle or form of the hair because oftheir combined strength
Shampooing the hair is an excellent preliminary step for hairstyling because theH-bonds are broken
Natural sunlight has the ability to break S-bonds because it containsultra-violet rays
During the period that altered S-bonds in permanent waved hair are broken and rebuilt as a result of various factors, the keratin chains in the cortex willbe pulled a little straighter
The amount of cortex is generally more abundant incoarse hair
Resistant hair is typified by cuticle imbrications that aretightly packed
Breaking both hydrogen and sulphur cross-bonds in the hair cortex during chemical hair relaxingpermits polypeptide chains to shift their position
In order to determine the reaction of hair to chemical hair relaxers, it is important to perform astrand test
Over-processing hair when using thio-type or sodium hydroxide-type hair relaxers results in permanent hair damage because of the breakage ofpeptide bonds
Most professional lighteners containhydrogen peroxide
To act upon the pigment particles of the hair, a lightener must be capable ofentering the cortex
In relation to lightening, a activator serves tospeed up chemical action
Thickening agents are added to lightening formula toform paste
If a prepared lightening formula turns out to be thicker than specified by the manufactureradditional hydrgen peroxide is required
The initial chemical reaction of the ligtening formula on the hair is tooxidize the melanins
In lightening certain types of resistant hairpersistent red shades appear
The word "rinse" is associated withtemporary hair coloring
In the case of semi-permanent tints, the penetration of large colored molecules into the cortex is hindered by thecuticle imbrications
As oxygen in the atmosphere can also cfause the formation of tints, once a tint bottle is opened, it should beused as soon as possible
Simple color rinses can be easily removed from the hair through shampooing because color molecules aretrapped between cuticle scales
Permanent type hair tints are longer lasting than semi-permanent rinses or tints because theyform insoluable tint pigments in the cortex
Tints are able to enter the cortex of the hair by passing through the cuticle. However, no color will form unless they have first been mixed withdeveloper
A prepared mixture of permanent tint, when checked for pH, is found to bealkaline
To prevent excessive hair damage, modern tint base formulas also containconditioners
When using permanent tints, once the base has been mixed with a developerthe application must begin immediately
Besides popularity, one of the major advantages of the newer hair coloring tints is that theypermit satisfactory cold waving on tinted hair
When hundreds of the smaller, colorless tint base molecules join together, theycannot pass through the cuticle
A chemical treatment that removes permanent color with the least amount of hair damage is calledstripping
The benefits of applying a filler before the permanent hair coloring tint isto add back both a base color and equalize the porosity of the hair
