The overlap (croquignole) technique produces which result? | Undulating waves and curls |
The rectangle wrap is also called the: | 9-blok pattern, consists primarily of rectangular shapes throughout the pattern. |
What wrapping pattern is demonstrated in the illustration? | bricklay |
A neutralizer rebonds and restores the disulfide bonds in addition to which of the following? | Reduces the swelling caused by the alkalinity |
Acid perms are in the pH range of: | 6.9-7. |
Alkaline perms carry a pH of: | 8.0-9. |
For perming, the pH of a neutralizer will range from: | 2.5 to 7, depending on the type of neutralizer |
Hair should be wrapped without tension when using: | Alkaline perms |
Heat and wrapping with firm, even tension when using an acid perm produces which of the following effects? | Boosts penetration of glycerly monothioglycolate |
In alkaline perms, the perm solution chemically breaks or reduces the: | Strong disulfide bonds |
It is essential to completely rinse the perm solution before applying the: | neutralizer |
Leaving the neutralizer on longer than recommended can: | Lead to hair damage |
The alkalinity of cold waves causes the hair fiber to soften and: | Swell |
What do low- or no-thio perms use as a reducing agent? | Cystemine hydrochloride |
What is applied to a client’s hairline prior to a perm service to protect the skin? | barrier cream |
What provides the tension necessary in an alkaline wave? | Swelling of the hair |
What reduces the swelling of the hair and re-hardens the bonds in the new shape during a perm process? | Applying a neutralizer |
When performing an alkaline wave on a client, thioglycolic acid is joined with what ingredient to shorten the processing time? | Ammonium hydroxide |
Which of the following statements is true about alkaline perms? | Strong curl pattern |
Which type of perm is recommended for damaged, highly porous or previously permed hair? | Acidperm |
After unwinding the perm rod one and one-half times, a positive test curl resembles a(an): | S-pattern |
End papers are important to control hair ends during the perming process and to: | Keep the hair smoothly wrapped around the perm tool |
Hair density does not always correspond to which of the following? | Texture |
Normal dry hair is capable of being stretched to what percent of its length? | 0.2 (20%) |
On base control is not recommended for alkaline perms since expansion is limited at the base and: | Tension may cause breakage |
The following illustration indicates which tool position? | half-off base |
Water left in the end papers after rinsing the perm solution will dilute the neutralizer and: | Weaken the curl formation |
Which base control is the most commonly used during a perm service? | Half-off base |
Overprocessed hair could be indicated by hair that may look: | Curly when wet but frizzy when dry |
