In reference to cold waves for permanently curling the hair my theories differ almost totally from what is reflected in textbooks. My theory is…You may be under the impression that the permanent curl is formed by reforming the bonds, seek however this is not true. The change of the bonds is a result of the curl being formed primarily on the cuticle and the bonds simply follow the direction of the curled cuticle and end up in a changed formation as they conform to the winding of the rods. The bonds are basically liquid and therefore, cannot be reformed to hold the hair in any permanent formation. The decreasing pH of the cold wave solutions is not strong enough to penetrate deep into the cortex to bring about a permanent change. See #4 on page 27
In a earlier article on “Trichology” I stated that in a later article I would explain how various chemicals used in Cosmetology worked. In this article we will cover Hair Relaxing.

WHY AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE SUCH A DISPROPORTIONATE USER OF ADD ON HAIR PRODUCTS?
General Posts No CommentsThere are several reasons and conclusions that can lead to the answer to this question. Afro American are 12% of the population in the U.S. but they are consumers of 75% of commercial hair i.e. wigs, sickness weaves, extensions and all other forms of hair augmentations in the U.S. This is not to declare that people of other ethnicity do not use these products but not to the extent that Afro Americans do. Most consumers of add on hair are females, because it is used to a large extent for adornment and creative styling. Afro Americans use it for this purpose also, but the majority of this group uses it to enhance or to replace hair loss or damaged hair from chemical and excessive thermal treatments.

As someone who earns his livelihood from the Cosmetology Industry I found the Documentary to be very entertaining for the most part but also misleading in some areas. Chris Rock’s commentary was in keeping with his comedic reputation; there were some places that were out of context.

\n\nAFRO CENTRIC SKIN CARE PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS\n\nDARK SKIN: NOT AS STRONG AS IT LOOKS \n\nDark skin was once thought to be stronger than other skin types as well as sun-proof. But new studies show that under stress from cosmetics and chemicals Black skin can react as strongly or more strongly than other skin types. Melanoma (Skin Cancer) is harder to recognize because darker pigmentation hides redness, sovaldi sale sovaldi the typical signpost of sensitivity. Skin cancer is rare but more deadly for people of color due to the fact that it is usually detected much later. The reason skin cancer is rare in people of color is because the dark pigmentation blocks most of the ultraviolet rays of the sun that are responsible for most forms of skin cancer. African-American skin produces more natural skin oils (sebum) than other cultures. This is inherent from the African heritage where the climate is extremely hot and humid. In these conditions, oily skin aids in keeping the skin cool and the dark pigmentation prevents skin diseases from ultraviolet sunrays.

It has not been proven that any product applied externally to the hair or scalp can promote, advice physician stimulate, cure or accelerate natural hair growth. Most people who complain of little or no hair growth are blaming it on the wrong reason.

If hair growth stops, then baldness begins, and yet you have people complaining their hair has not grown at all over a period of years. If the person has hair, then it is growing.
