  1. Characteristics of Normal and Damaged Hair Texture – This is the size or diameter of a single hair. Course Hair Medium Hair Fine Hair

  2. Porosity : The ability of the hair to absorb moisture This is related to the condition of the hair and whether it has been chemically treated (permed or coloured). Porosity is all about the condition of the cuticle, which is the outside layer of the hair.

  3. Resistant -The cuticle layer is tightly closed. • The hair looks shiny or glassy. • The hair is in good condition • Normal -The cuticle is slightly open.

  4. Porous-The cuticle is more open. • The hair is a bit dull looking, and feels slightly rough. • The ends are dry possibly because of tinting, or a lot of exposure to sun and swimming. • Extremely Porous -The cuticle is very open and damaged. The hair is very dull and dry. Usually this hair is double processed. Eg: has had both a perm and tint. Or the hair is bleached.

  5. FACTORS AFFECTING HAIR COLOUR

  6. Melanin • Melanin is the colour pigment granules of skin and hair. • Melanin is produced by special cells where the germinal matrix joins the papilla called melanocytes.

  7. MELANINNATURAL COLOUR PIGMENTS

  8. Melanocytes • Melanocytes secrete melanin into cells of the hair shaft soon after they are formed to give hair its colour.

  9. GERMINAL MATRIX

  10. Factors affecting Hair Colour • Type of Melanin • Amount of Melanin • Position of Melanin • Heredity

  11. Types of Melanin • There are two types of melanin found in the hair: • Eumelanin (black & brown) • Pheomelanin (red& yellow)

  12. EUMELANIN & PHEOMELANIN

  13. Factors affecting Natural Pigment Hereditary • The colour of our hair is influenced by our genetic background and racial backgrounds.

  14. BLOND HAIR • Mainly YELLOW pigments • Small amount of brown • Tiny amount red & black

  15. RED HAIR • Mainly RED & YELLOW pigments • Fewer brown & black

  16. DARK BROWN HAIR • Contains more pigment • Equal mix of all types

  17. Absence of Pigment in Skin and Hair Canities • Is the result of a breakdown in normal pigment production in the melanocytes. Canities is hair that contains no pigment • ( white hair) the melanocytes at the base of the follicle stop producing melanin.

  18. Albinism • Tends to appear in certain families. Albinos have no pigment in their hair, skin and eyes, and because of this have a low tolerance to sunlight.

  19. WHITE HAIR • CANITIES- melanocytes cease production • natural aging • ALBINISM –complete lack of pigment

  20. Factors affecting CHEMICAL REFORMATION

  21. Alkaline Perm Solutions Ammonium Thioglycollate (alkaline solution) • Ammonium Hydroxide • Swells and softens the hair • Opens the cuticle

  22. + • Thioglycollic Acid • Penetrates into cortex and breaks the bonds that hold the hair in its original position.

  23. Alkaline solutions are suitable for: • Resistant/hard to wave hair • Chemically untreated hair • Tinted or mildly porous hair

  24. Acid perm solutions • The active ingredient in acid perms is glyceryl monothioglycolate • PH 6.9-7.2

  25. Glycerol monothioglycolate (acid perm solution) • Thioglycollic acid • Penetrates into cortex and breaks the bonds that hold the hair in its original position. + Glycerine

  26. ACID SOLUTIONS ARE SUITABLE FOR: • Sensitised or damaged hair • All hair textures particularly fine hair
