A. Introduction 120 mins. THE PERMING LOTION
Panimula The active ingredient in perming lotion, whether for curling or straightening hair, is a chemical
called ammonium thioglycolate. Ammonium thioglycolate is an ammonia salt of mercaptoacetic
acid. Boxes of perm solution also list the ingredient as ammonium thyioglycolic acid.
This article discusses the chemistry, characteristics, and hazards of the active ingredient of perming
lotions and hair straighteners with tips for safe application.

Ammonium thioglycolate is a colorless, clear liquid with a strong ammonia odor. Depending on
the other ingredients in the perming lotion, the solution may not appear clear. It permanently
changes the structure of hair. Treated hair remains either curly or straight, depending on application
technique, until new hair growth requires an additional perm or straightening service.

The Chemistry of Perms

Hair primarily consists of a protein called keratin. Keratin contains a large proportion of the amino
acid cysteine. Hair gets its shape from disulfide bonding between protein chains. These disulfide
bonds form between atoms of sulfur found in the cysteine molecules.
Perming lotions containing thioglycolate break the disulfide bonds of hair proteins. Stylists shape
hair with curlers or straighten using ceramic irons. Perm neutralizers containing hydrogen peroxide
form new disulfide bonds, making hair either permanently curly or straight, depending on the
application technique.

Warning
The material safety data sheet (MSDS) for ammonium thioglycolic acid lists potential hazards from
inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact. Thioglycolate is "toxic if swallowed," irritates eyes, and
causes an allergic reaction in some users. Prolonged or repeated use may lead to skin sensitization
and sores. The MSDS states that three agencies (NTP, IARC, and OSHA) do not list thioglycolate
as a cancer-causing agent known as a carcinogen.
The active ingredient in perming lotion, ammonium thioglycolate, is not biodegradable and harms
water life. The perming lotion bottle should be completely empty before putting it in the trash.
Avoid rinsing from hair in a way that contaminates surface water or soil.

Prevention/Solution
1. Do not use perming lotion on a person who shows signs of sensitivity, such as an irritated scalp.
Never reuse towels to wipe away excess perm lotion; this may lead to inadvertently getting perming
lotion in a person's eyes.
2. Minimize contact with the scalp when applying perm solution. Wash all the perming lotion from
hair with warm water as soon as the perm is completely developed.
3. Wash skin immediately with soap and water if the perming solution gets on your skin during
application. Wipe drips from the scalp as they occur.
4. Flush eyes for ten minutes with cool water if perm lotion gets in your eyes. Contact a doctor for
further instructions.
5. Apply perming solution in an area with good air circulation. Open windows to get fresh air in
small spaces like bathrooms. If you notice breathing irritation from the ammonium thioglycolate, go
outside for fresh air.
6. Call for a professional help if someone digests perm solution. The ammonium thioglycolate is
toxic. Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water and spit out. Then drink a few glasses of
water and seek immediate medical attention.

Considerations
Perming lotion and straightening formulas containing ammonium thioglycolate are not compatible
with previous lye-based hair relaxing treatments. Special perm lotion formulations exist for highly
processed hair showing signs of chemical damage.
For optimal results, salon clients should not wash their hair for forty-eight hours after curling or
straightening treatments with perming lotions containing ammonium thioglycolate.

Note:The perming solution is usually consisting of cold wave and a neutralizer. Ammonium
thioglycolate an ammonia salt of mercaptoacetic acid is the active ingredient for cold wave. The
most common neutralizer in perms is hydrogen peroxide in 5 or 10 volume strength (about 1.5-3%
peroxide).

DIFFERENT TYPES OF PERM LOTIONS

In performing Perm lotions must be given careful consideration. Having knowledge on the
type of perm lotion to use will give an assurance of achieving the desired results of the client.

PERM SELECTION
The type of perm chosen depends on the total hair evaluation and the client’s wishes. The
following is a general guide for choosing an alkaline or an acid-balanced perm to use based on
client’s hair types.
HAIR TYPE PERM TYPE
Coarse, resistant Alkaline lotion wrap or alkaline water wrap
Fine, resistant Alkaline lotion wrap or alkaline water wrap
Normal Alkaline water wrap or acid- balanced
Normal porous Alkaline water wrap or acid- balanced
Normal, Delicate Acid-balanced
Tinted, non-porous Alkaline water wrap or acid- balanced
Tinted, porous Acid-balanced
Highlighted/frosted/dimensionally Acid-balanced
colored
Highlighted tinted Acid-balanced

Procedure for Processing permanents in standard procedure and product specification.

1. Apply protective barrier cream to the hairline and the ears. Apply troll caught on around the
entire hairline and offer the client a towel to blot any drips.
2. Slowly and carefully lie the perm solution with about the hair on each tool. Ask the client to
lean forward while you apply solution the back area, to the front, and both sides. Avoid
slashing and repeating. Continue to apply the solution slowly until each tool is completely
saturated.
3. if a plastic cup is used, punch a few holes in the cap and cover all the hair completely. Do
not allow the plastic Cup to touch the client's skin.
4. Check cotton and towels. If they are saturated with solution, replace them.
5. Process according to manufacturer’s directions. Processing time varies according to the
strength of the solution, the hair type and condition, and the desired results. processing
usually takes less than 20 minutes at room temperature.
6. Check frequently for curl development. unwind the tool and check the S pattern formation
described in the preliminary test curl procedure.
7. When processing is completed, rinse the hair thoroughly for at least 5 minutes, then towel-
blot the hair on each tool to remove any excess moisture. Another option that some
manufacturers recommend is to apply preneutralizing conditioner to the hair, after rinsing
and blotting and before applying a neutralizer. Remember though, that this step is optional.
Always follow the manufacture’s directions and the procedures approved by your instructor.
8. Apply the neutralizer slowly and carefully to the hair on each tool.
9. Set timer for time specified by the manufacturer. After processing remove the tools and
work on the remaining neutralizer through the hair gently with your hands.
10. Rinse thoroughly. It is optional to this point to shampoo and condition. Always follow the
manufacturers’ directions and the procedures approved by your instructor.
B. Development 25 mins Learning Activity 1. Analyze.
Pakikipagpalihan Provide an appropriate perm solution for the following hair types. Write your answer on a
separate sheet of paper.
1. Client no.1 has a normal type of hair, but it is very delicate to some chemical.
2. The hair of client no. 2 has some strands with vibrant yellow color.
3. Client 3 has a thick hair making it resistant to ordinary perm solution.
4. The client’s hair is ash gray and is obviously porous.
5. The hair of client no. 5 is full copper in color while some strand are yellow.
C. Engagement 25 mins Learning Activity 2: Perform.
