Chemical Texture

4. The absolute safety mandate status between thioglycolate and hydroxide chemical solutions.
7. The oxidizing chemical agent found inside the permanent wave neutralizer solution.
9. The core center layer of the hair strand that plays zero role in texturizing services.
10. The strong permanent horizontal side cross-bonds that can only be broken by chemical reduction.
12. A chemical straightener that uses the exact same reducing chemistry as an alkaline perm.
13. The specific alkaline reducing chemical compound found in room-temperature cold waves.
14. The active chemical reducing agent found inside a true acid or acid-balanced permanent wave.
18. The aggressive chemical reaction where a hydroxide relaxer permanently strips a sulfur atom.
21. The non-negotiable towel step after rinsing to prevent water from diluting the incoming neutralizer.
22. A chemical wave that generates its own internal thermal heat when an activator tube is mixed in.

1. Highly caustic straighteners carrying a dangerous pH scale between twelve point five and fourteen.
2. A relaxer formulation where a protective barrier cream is already melted inside the product.
3. Physical side cross-bonds broken down exclusively by temporary shifts in the hair fabrics pH scale.
5. The fibrous middle layer accounting for eighty percent of hair strength where all texture shifts occur.
6. The preliminary test performed by unwinding a processing rod to look for a true S pattern.
8. A chemical wave processing classification that strictly requires an outside machine heat source.
11. An oily petroleum barrier applied to the scalp and hairline to prevent severe chemical skin burns.
15. The permanent unreformable molecular bond created after a hydroxide relaxer alters a disulfide bond.
16. The component term for the three separate parts that make up an acid-balanced wave system.
17. The chemical process the neutralizer uses to permanently rebuild the broken disulfide cross-links.
19. The weak physical side cross-bonds broken by water or heat and reformed by drying or cooling.
20. End paper placement physics technique where one paper is folded completely in half like a book.
