Today in class!!!

Today in class i did my key terms and found tha definitions for them. I also had to redo my interview planning paper over.

My Key Terms!!!


Perm-It creates
curls by restructuring your hair molecules with a chemical, or heat treatment and is generally a long-lasting or permanent change to your hair. But Perm’s really don’t have to be like they used to and they give you great choice. It can be cool to have a perm so let’s go curl their world.
Relaxer- A chemical process by which the hair is permanently straightened. New-growth areas have to be maintained via ’touch-ups’ to continue the straightened pattern. A relaxer penetrates the cortex and breaking the hairs’ natural chemical bonds which originally caused it to be curly. Once these chemical bonds are broken, they can not be repaired so the hair is unable to return to its natural state
Weave- Is usually a hairpiece with layered gaps made into it. This is then placed on a person’s head and his/her own real hair is weaved into the hairpiece.
Hair Extensions- Are used to add volume or length to your hair by bonding synthetic or real hair at your roots
Highlights- The subtle lifting of color in specific sections of a hair.
Bleach- Method used to disguise (not remove) hair by lightening its colour.
Braid- To weave strands of hair together. On the scalp braiding is used to form a base or track to sew on a commercial weft. This is the cornrow technique. Off the scalp braiding is used for traditional braiding styles and various methods adding extensions such as Warlocks.
Dandruff- Flaking scalp due to excessive cell production.
Deep Penetrating Treatment- A conditioner for hair meant for occasional use. Of greater intensity than ordinary conditioners. Formulas usually contain protein, vitamins, and moisture to help dry, damaged hair.
Dreadlocks- A hairstyle in which the hair naturally or through manipulation is encouraged to matte and form a cylindrical, rope-like pattern. Dreadlocks may take several months to well over a year to form and are considered a permanent style. In order to remove dreadlocks, one must cut them.
Conditioner- Creamy hair product meant to be used after shampoo. Moisturizes and detangles hair.
Finishing Spray - A hairspray with medium hold used on a finished style to maintain its shape and hold.
Fly Away Hair- Fly-away Hair, is thin hair that is charged by static and is a particular problem with straight looks as the hair just won’t lie properly and can spoil your look. A quick way I’ve found to lessen the problem is to pass a silk scarf over the hair and they’ll all lie flat.
Freezing Spray- A hairspray with the firmest hold used to maintain style of hard to hold hair.
Grey Hair- Hair that has lost its pigment.
Layering- Is a technique used by hairdressers to change the thickness of the hair, creating either a thinning or thicker appearance. In this way the hair can be given a fuller appearance, more texture and movement.
Moisturizer- An emollient cream used to hydrate the skin.
Permanently- Completely changing the natural color of the hair.
Semi Permanent- A color which lasts from 6 - 8 shampoos.
Spritz- Is a light mist or spray, which when used as verb means to lightly spray your hair. When describing a product it generally means the product will produce a fine mist.
Temporary Color- A hair color formula that lasts only until you shampoo your hair.
Texturizer- Is a mild relaxing treatment. Instead of causing the hair to be ’bone straight,’ this chemical treatment is left on for a shorter period of time. The idea is to slightly relax the natural curl in African hair so that it’s more manageable and with proper maintenance, one can mimic curly styles.
Thermal Process- Temporarily straightening the hair with a heated iron.
Treatment- A treatment is used in between Shampoo and Conditioner to put protein back into the hair. You should leave the treatment in your hair for approximately 5 minutes before using your conditioner. You’ll be able to find a treatment designed for your hair type.
Virgin Hair- This term refers to human hair which is still in its original state as harvested from the grower, and which has not been permed, colored, or chemically processed in any way. It is carefully cut from the grower with the cuticle going in the same direction and preserved to maximize its special quality. Harvesting the hair in this manner takes more time, which contributes to the premium price of this hair. Virgin hair can be of any ethnic origin, but the best quality hair used in making wigs today is of Russian, Ukrainian, Belgian, and Turkish origin. This is the most expensive hair of all because it is not as plentiful as lesser quality hair. In spite of the high cost, top-quality Virgin European hair wigs are in high demand by those who wish to wear only the finest.

The Week of 6/1-6/8!!!

This week we had to finish finding the terms and their definitions for our project. The we had to start planning for our interview. We have to find someone so we have ask them questions for our project and we have to set everything up. We also had to make ten questions that we are going to ask them. I also had to do my essential and foundation questions all over because i miss understood what type of questions we had to make up and so i finshed those. Then we start doing our notes for our foundation questions that we made up from before.

The Week of 5/29-6/1!!!

At the beginning of the week we have to find 10-15 terms that had to do with our topic that we didnt know and find the definition for them. Then later that week we went to the Carnegie Library in Oakland to get books for our project. My side went on Thurday and the other side went on Wedensday. But before we went to the library we had to go on the Carnegie Library website and locate at least 2 books but i ended up locating 3 books. When i went to the library i only was able to find 1 of my books and me and Kayla end up sharing our books because we both doing our topics on hair.

What I did the week of 5/21-5/25!!!

We started the week off with finishing finding our 10 website, which i already did. Then we had to create essential and foundation questions that had to do with out project. But we only had to make up one essential question and 10 foundation questions. So i finshed those questions by the end of the week. Then each of us had to talk to the whole class about our project we wanted to do and we had to give them comments. There was a couple that i really thought was good like, the drug abuse, HIV, dance, and the police abuse.
