Unit 6 skillS Perming and straightening A permanent wave, or a perm, is a chemical process that breaks and reforms the bonds of hair. There are two parts to a perm: the physical action of wrapping the hair and the chemical phase. There are many types of perming rods that can be used during the physical action: small and thin, medium size or big and thick depending on the style and length of hair the client wants. The chemical solution used in the perming process is determined, instead, by the client s hair type. Classic alkaline perms are used for stronger, coarser hair and they are applied at room temperature. Acid perms, instead, are used on more delicate or thinner hair and require external heat application. The same process is often used for chemical hair straightening or relaxing. It is a technique that gives hair a smooth and sleek appearance. This process makes use of the same chemical reactions as that of a perm which break bonds in the hair shaft but the hair is combed straight. However, a temporary method for straightening hair is also very common. In this case, hair irons, hot combs and the skill of the stylist can temporarily modify the shape and texture of hair. 3 6.1 1. 2. 3. 4. 4 Listen to the dialogue. Take notes and answer the questions. What s the name of the treatment the client asks about? What are the three questions the client asks the stylist? What are the stylist s answers? How does the client explain the look she wants?         bond: legame sleek: lucente smooth: liscio to wrap: arrotolare Read the perm instructions and say if the statements are true or false. Correct the false ones. SERI PERM 1. Preparation:   Wash the hair with a mild shampoo.   Equalise hair porosity with a pre-perm treatment.   Section the hair and select appropriate curler size. 2. Application:   Wear protective gloves.   Apply the perm lotion onto each curler.   Allow to develop. 3. Development guidelines:   The suggested development times produce optimum results, however, test curls are recommended to determine the final development time. 4. Rinsing and neutralising:   When the development time is completed, rinse all curls thoroughly (5-8 minutes).   Pour 50 ml of the neutraliser into a non-metallic bowl.   Apply 2/3 of the neutraliser to the hair.   Leave to develop for 5 minutes.   Gently unwind and apply the remaining 1/3 through the hair; allow to develop for a further 5 minutes.   Rinse thoroughly. T 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 60 A pre-perm treatment is recommended. Tests curls are important to determine the final development time. After development time, the stylist must rinse curls for 2-3 minutes. The stylist must mix the neutraliser into a metallic bowl. The neutraliser must be applied in two steps. The neutraliser development time is 5+5 minutes. F 

PERMING AND STRAIGHTENING skillS Preparing for a treatment B efore a perm or a permanent straightening treatment, the hairdresser must:   carry out a technical diagnosis, which consists of an analysis of the client s hair, scalp and skin, and an incompatibility test too, in the case of a first application;   make sure the client is suitably protected with towels and a waterproof cape;   position the client for the pre-perm or pre-straightening shampoo and check he or she is comfortable; The shampoo before a perm or a straightening treatment will remove any build-up of hair care products, will open the cuticles and leave the hair at a neutral pH of 7, ready for the lotion.   always wear personal protective equipment such as gloves and an apron when touching perm and straightening chemicals;   prepare the necessary equipment depending on the treatment: the client record card, barrier cream, cotton wool, a selection of combs, plastic bowl, section clips, tension strips, rods, end wraps or hair iron and hot combs. A plastic cap and a heat source may be needed, too.   build-up: accumulo   section clip: fermaglio, pinza   tension strip: elastico 5 A B C Your senior colleague has asked you to prepare the trolleys for perm and hair straightening services.
