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.
Acid-balanced waves
Also known as cold waves; 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
Compounds made up of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur.
Amino acids
Perms that use an ingredient that does not evaporate as readily as ammonia, so there is very little odor associated with their use.
Ammonia-free waves
Active ingredient or reducing agent in alkaline permanents
Ammonium thioglycolate (ATG)
Position of the tool in relation to its base section, determined by the angle at which the hair is wrapped
Base control
Also know. As protective base cream; oily cream used to protect the skin and scalp during hair relaxing.
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
Refers to the position of the rod in relation to its base section; base placement is determined by the angle at which the host is wrapped
Base placement
Relaxers that require the application of protective base cream to the entire scalp prior to the application of the relaxer
Base relaxers
Subsections of panels into which hair is divided for perm wrapping; one rod is normally placed on each base section.
Base sections
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 based; all base sections are horizontal, and are the same length and width as the perm rod
Basic permanent wrap
Perm wrap in which one end paper is folded in half over the hair ends like an envelope
Bookend wrap
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
Bricklayer permanent wrap
A process or service that rearranges the structure of curly hair into a straighter or smoother form
Chemical hair relaxing
Hair services that cause a chemical change that alters the natural wave pattern of the hair
Chemical Texture services
Perm rods that have a smaller diameter in the center that increases to a large diameter on the ends
Concave rods
Perms in which the hair strands are wrapped from the ends to the scalp in overlapping Concentric layers
Croquignole Perm wrap
Perm wrap in which partings and bases radiate throughout the panels to follow the curvature of the head
Curvature permanent rap
Perm wrap in which one end paper is placed under and another is placed over the strand of hair being wrapped
Double flat wrap
Also known as piggyback wrap a wrap technique whereby extra-long hair is wrapped on one ride from the scalp to midway down the hair shaft and a another rod is used to wrap the remaining hair strand in the same direction
Double rod rap
a.k.a. piggyback wrap
Also known as end wraps absorbent paper is used to control the ends of the hair when wrapping and winding hair and perm rods
End papers
Perm activated by an outside heat source usually a conventional Hood-type hair dryer
Endothermic waves
Create an Exothermic Chemical reaction that heats up the waving solution and speeds up processing
Exothermic waves
