1. Chemistry You will learn about: Matter pH Scale Chemistry of Cosmetics

2. Why Chemistry? The professional cosmetologist needs to understand the chemicals he/she works with in order to: - safely perform chemical services requested by clients, - teach clients how to care for their hair following chemical services, - and, sell products to their clients.

3. Matter Anything that occupies space; exist in 3 forms: –Solids – weight, volume, shape –Liquids – weight, volume, no shape –Gasses – weight, indefinite volume and shape Liquid Gas

5. Organic Matter Matter that is now living or was alive at one time. –Ex. - Plants and animals Plants and Mulch Humans Animals

6. Inorganic Matter Matter that is NOT alive or has never been alive; does not contain carbon. –Ex. – rocks, water, minerals Rock – Granite Water Mineral - Quartz

7. Changes In Matter Physical Change –Change the characteristics without making a new substance. Ex. – Ice Melting Chemical Change –A change in a substance that creates a new substance with chemical characteristics different from those of the original substance. Ex. – Rust – oxygen mixed with metal creates rust (or iron oxide)

8. Properties of Matter 1.Color 2.Odor 3.Weight (density) 4.Hardness or softness

9. Elements that make up hair #ElementSymbolForm 6 Carbon CSolid 8 Oxygen OGas 1 Hydrogen HGas 7 Nitrogen NGas 16 Sulfur SSolid

10. Atoms Smallest complete unit of an element –3 parts – proton, neutron, electron Protons and neutrons packed tight in center to form core or nucleus Electrons move about in orbiting paths at nearly the speed of light.

11. Nucleus Proton –Positive electrical charge (+) – gives atom its name. Neutron –No electrical charge – determines the weight of an atom - neutral Electron –Negative electrical charge – makes it possible for atoms to combine with other atoms to form bonds.

12. Molecule Molecules form when unstable atoms combine chemically by sharing electrons.

13. Chemical Bonds Atoms combine chemically to create compounds that eventually create protein of hair.

14. Amino Acids Compounds of C,O,H,N 22 Common amino acids Join together in chains to make proteins

15. Protein Hair is made up of protein called keratin Hair is 97% keratin and 3% trace minerals Hair contains 19 of 22 common amino acids.

16. Hydrogen Bond Unlike charges attract. Makes up about 35% of hairs strength. Individually very weak and can easily be broken by heat or water to create physical (temporary) changes in the hair. How it Works: The hydrogen atom in one molecule is attracted to an atom of another molecule that has many negative electrons.

17. Salt Bonds This bond is a result of the attraction of unlike charges. Also broken by water to create physical (temporary) changes in the hair. How it Works: Negative charge in one amino acid grouping attracts the positive charge in another amino acid grouping.

18. How Hydrogen and Salt Bonds are Broken by Water Water molecules can easily break hydrogen and salt bonds when the water molecules move in between the bonds. When the water molecules are not present the hydrogen and bonds come back together. H H2O H H2O H H2O H H2O H H2O H Hydrogen Bonds broken by water molecules

19. Disulfide Bonds Sulfur containing side bond - Most important to a Cosmetologist. A chemical bond that forms between protein structures; sulfur-type side chains join with other sulfur-type side chains to form disulfide bonds. Much stronger than hydrogen or salt bonds. Not broken by heat or water. Only a chemical change. –Example – permanent wave

20. van der Waal’s Based on theory that atomic groups prefer an environment with other groups that have structures similar to theirs. Not necessarily important for Cosmetologist, other than to know that it exists and plays a role in bonding of protein chains.

21. End Bonds (Peptide Bonds) Backbone of all protein molecules Links the amino acid protein chains together end to end. Do not disturb the end bond, this could destroy the protein structure. –If broken, protein chains separate into small fragments, or revert to groups of amino acids that no longer have the characteristics of hair. RESULT – VERY DAMAGED HAIR!

22. Side Bonds Link the long spiraling protein chains together. Made up of hydrogen, salt and disulfide and Van der Waal’s forces. Van der Waal’s Label the Bonds

23. Stages of Hair Formation 1.Begins with individual atoms. 2.Unite to become molecules of amino acids. 3.Amino acids unite to form peptide or end bonds. 4. Amino acids create polypeptide protein chains. 5. The individual protein chains bond to other chains by hydrogen bond, salt bonds and disulfide bonds. 6. Hair

28. The pH Scale Conditioners & Shampoo Soap Hair relaxers Hair In this section you will learn what the pH scale is and it’s values associated with water, acids and alkalines.

29. Potential Hydrogen Abbreviation – pH Measures whether substance is acidic, neutral or alkaline

30. Water-Based Solutions pH measures amount of acid or alkali only in a water based solution. Only solutions containing water or solutions that can be dissolved in water can be acid or alkaline in value. Most products used in salon have water listed as main ingredient.

31. Acid More positive hydrogen ions than negative hydroxide ions

32. Acid 0 – 6.99 on pH scale Skin and hair acid-balanced at 4.5 – 5.5 Ex. Lemons and Conditioners

33. Neutral Equal number of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. 7.0 Ex. Water

34. Alkaline More negative hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions.

35. Alkaline 7.01 – 14 on pH scale Ex. Amonia and Hair Relaxer

36. pH Scale Unit of measurement – determines if substance is acid, neutral or alkaline. Ranges from 0 – 14 7 is Neutral

37. 0 – 6.99 Acid range (orange) More positive hydrogen ions

38. 7.01 - 14 Alkaline range (purple) More negative hydroxide ions

39. Testing pH pH Nitrazine Paper

40. pH Pencil

41. pH Meter

42. Acid Balanced pH is in the same range as skin and hair 4.5 – 5.5 Ex. Acid Balanced Shampoo

43. pH Scale Conditioners & Shampoo Hair & Skin 4.5 to 5.5 Soap Hair relaxers Baby Shampoo

44. Chemistry of Cosmetics Cosmetic Classifications –Based on how well a substance combines and its physical characteristics

45. Solutions Mixture of 2 or more kinds of molecules –Do not separate –Can be solid, liquid or gas

46. Suspensions Mixture of 2 or more kinds of molecules Separates Needs to be shaken –Example: Vinegar and Oil

47. Emulsions 2 or more non-mixable substances united by a binder (gum). –Example: oil in water (perms) –Example: water in oil (cold cream)

48. Ointments Mixture of organic substance and a medicinal agent Semi-solid form No water –Example: Lipstick

49. Soaps Mixtures of fat and oil converted to fatty acids by heat and then purified.

50. Powders Equal mixtures of inorganic and organic substances that do NOT dissolve in water. Sifted and mixed until free of coarse grit.

51. Shampoo Cleans the scalp and hair Removes all foreign debris without adversely affecting scalp and hair.

52. How Shampoo Works A push pull action is caused by a surface active agent causing the oil to “roll up” into droplets that are lifted and rinsed away.

53. Surfactant Surface active agent Has water loving and oil loving ends. Water Loving Oil Loving Surfactant Molecule

54. The tail of the shampoo molecule is attracted to oil and dirt

55. Shampoo causes oil to roll up into small globules

56. During rinsing, the heads of the shampoo molecules attach to water molecules and cause debris to roll off.

57. Thorough rinsing washes away debris & excess shampoo.

58. The Role of Water Universal solvent Neutral pH Hard water = minerals –Hard to lather Soft water preferred (allows lather)

59. Types of Shampoos

60. All Purpose Low Alkaline Low surfactants Mild, does not strip color –Example: Redken Clear Moisture

61. Plain Usually strong High alkaline Not for chemically treated hair Follow with acid rinse –Ex: Baby shampoo Doesn’t burn eyes because it’s high in alkaline and so are eyes.

62. Soapless Shampoo Able to lather without harsh alkaline ingredient Works in soft and hard water

63. Acid - Balanced Made to have same pH as the skin and hair Will not strip color

64. Medicated Often must have prescription Designed to treat scalp and hair problems

65. Clarifying Removes residue –Such as product build-up.

66. Anti-Dandruff Control dandruff Massage scalp vigorously and rinse thoroughly

67. Liquid Dry Used when client can’t receive normal shampoo Works with wigs Evaporates from hair Very drying

68. Powder Dry For bedridden clients Orris root powder absorbs oil and dirt as product is brushed through the hair. Don’t use prior to chemical service.

69. Conditioning Contain animal, vegetable or mineral additives that enter cortex or coat cuticle. Improve strength and porosity.

70. Color Contain temporary color molecules that stick to outer cuticle of hair.

71. For Thinning Hair Gentle Lighter molecular weight Provides healthy environment for hair growth.

72. Rinses and Conditioners

73. Appearance Rinses and Conditioners give hair the appearance of Shine and Luster

74. Porosity Porosity - Amount of moisture in the hair. Hair Porosity is the ability of the hair to retain & absorb moisture, determined by how raised or compact the cuticle layers are.

75. Porosity Test

76. Manageability How easily a comb passes through the hair.

77. Elasticity The hairs ability to stretch and return to its natural shape without breaking.

78. Types of Rinses

79. Vinegar and Lemon Rinse Acid rinses Remove soap scum Counteract alkalinity.

80. Cream Rinse Soften Add luster Only slightly acidic

81. Medicated Rinse Control dandruff and minor scalp conditions.

82. Conditioners

83. Instant Conditioner Coat the hair shaft Restore moisture and oils Do NOT penetrate into the cortex Not for fine limp hair

84. Normalizing Contain vegetable protein Acidic pH causes cuticle to close after chemical services.

85. Body-Building Required for fine, limp hair Deposits protein Can use prior to chemical services

86. Moisturizing Humectants bind and hold moisture in the hair. Avoid use for several days following perm (may go limp)

87. Customized Formulated to meet special needs Ex. Moisture and color
