Moist heat List tools that this method

may be used on This method is created by the use of an autoclave, which heats water up to a very high temperature (higher than boiling water).It will kill off most common bacteria found in hairdressing salons.

Tools than can withstand high temperatures

Carbon combs

Sheet 5

Chemicals List tools that this method may be used onThis method is often used in hairdressing salons. The chemicals are placed in a jar or container after they have been washed and cleaned to remove dirt. The chemical mixture must completely cover the tools. It is an effective method if used correctly. There are chemical sprays available for tools that cannot be immersed in liquid.

Ultra violet rays List tools that this method may be used on

Ultra violet light rays are used to kill off the bacteria. Tools are cleaned first then placed in a sterilising cabinet. This method is not used as much today, as you need to keep turning the tools around in the cabinet for the light rays to cover all sides of the tools to work.

•All hair is elastic and stretchy. When hair is wet it becomes more elastic, when it can stretch up to half its length again.•Temporary bonds (the hydrogen bonds and salt links) that join the polypeptide chains in the cortex are broken when wet hair is stretched ie – blowdrying/setting.•When hair is blow dried into the new shape the temporary bonds quickly rejoin to form the new shape.•Hair in its natural state is described as being in an alpha keratin state.•When hair has been shampooed or wet and stretched into a new shape and dried, is described as being in a beta keratin state.•When the hair is dampened again – by shampooing, or moisture in the atmosphere – then the temporary bonds will go back to the hair’s natural state of alpha keratin.•Hair is hygroscopic, this means it absorbs moisture from the atmosphere – discuss the affects that this will have on the newly shaped hair styles form the different methods of styling with your tutor and group.
