Blow Drying Hair

Aim

Working towards completion of the blow dry hair exam 

Outcome

Identify alpha - beta 

Recall which bonds are changed 

Sterilisng tools 

It is important to make sure you are cleaning and sterlising you tools and equipment to stop cross contamination

Sterilisation destroys all living microorganisms on the surface of an article or in a fluid to prevent disease transmission associated with the use of that item.

While disinfection is the process of eliminating or reducing harmful micro-organisms from inanimate objects and surfaces, sterilization is the process of killing all microorganisms.

 

Sterilising 

BARBICIDE® Spacide Complete can be used to disinfect all of the same tools, implements and surfaces as you do with BARBCIDE®. It can be mixed and used in spray bottles as well as being used for immersion.

Sterilising 

These easy-to-use disinfecting wipes are EPA-Registered bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal & tuberculocidal with a 2-minute contact time, assuring your salon, spa or barber shop quickly meets sanitation and disinfection guidelines.

Sterilising 

 Autoclave Steriliser is recommended by health authorities for beauty salon instrument sterilisation. It operates at 125 degree temperature using a saturated steam sterilisation on a 20 minute sterilisation cycle which is the most effective and economic method to obtain safe steriliastion.

Sterilising 

UV sterilisers work just as their name suggests – they use UV-C wavelengths to destroy all microorganisms exposed to the rays of light. UV-C rays have enough energy to scramble the DNA and RNA of both bacteria and viruses, plus any other mould, fungus or yeast, that is present on your tools.

There are many different shapes and styles and a variety of ways to complete.

This is why we have different tools, equipment and products 

Research Task 

Look at the following images 

Can you identify how to complete the look?

Think about....

What products to use?....remember to use wet and dry products 

What brushes and equipment would be suitable?

Flat, radial brush? tongs/wand? setting?

Where in the hair shaft are the bonds physically changed when blow dry/setting?

Polypeptide chains is a keratinised protein found in the cortex

Can you guess which bonds are changed when blow drying, curling etc?

When physically changing the bonds in the hair we are changing the HYDROGEN bonds 

These are weaker are can be broken down by water as the hair is HYGROSCOPIC 

How can the hair take on moisture?

Alpha - Beta 

When the hair is in its natural shape - this is ALPHA keratin 

If the hair is stretched into a new shape this is known as BETA keratin 

eg - straight hair is curled 

eg - straight hair is set 

This shape is temporary and can be changed when the hair is wet shampooed or even caught in the rain!!

A 

B

Which image A or B was in alpha keratin

A                                    B

Which picture A or B in in Beta keratin

A

B

Which picture is in Beta keratin?

Here's a thought?

If a client has had their hair chemically relaxed ....but then has it curled with a wand/tong or straighteners

What state is it then?
