HOW THE PERMANENT CURL IS FORMED

HOW THE PERMANENT CURL IS FORMED\nBy Dr. Edward Tony Lloneau\n

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

\nHOW RELAXERS AFFECT THE HAIR\nBy  Dr. Edward Tony Lloneau\n

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. In follow up articles we will explain Cold Wave (curly perms)  Press & Curl and permanent hair color, and and how these products work differently on Afro hair then on Caucasian Hair.

\n

In order to really understand this concept, cialis sale you must first understand what changes the hair underwent when it was relaxed.

\n

Relaxers using Sodium Hydroxide (and to a lesser degree calcium & lithium “no lye”) as their active ingredient will destroy from 1/4 to 1/3 of the hair shaft.  Do not become alarmed by this fact because hair can withstand that much destruction and still remain healthy, providing it is properly cared for.

\nBy\nDr. Edward Tony Lloneau\n

There 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.  Afro hair does not seemingly grow as long or at the same rate as do other cultures.  The fact is that it does, but it breaks off on the ends at the same rate that it is growing.  These people buy so called “Hair Growth” products in a misguided effort to accelerate hair growth from the scalp, not realizing the problem is not slow or (no hair growth) from the scalp, but breakage caused chiefly by misuse of hair grooming methods.   Read the rest of this entry »

COMMENTARY ON THE MOVIE DOCUMENTARY GOOD HAIR

General Posts No Comments
\nBy Dr. Edward Tony Lloneau (Trichologist)\n\nI viewed the movie on two levels:\n
    \n
  1. For entertainment
  2. \n

  3. For information
  4. \n

\n

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

The movie zeroed in on Indian hair however Indian Hair is only about 10% of the market for human hair.  The majority of hair comes from Asian countries, find however Indian Hair is the most sought after because of the way it is harvested.  Most hair on the market is simply cut from the head leaving about two inches or more on the head.  Indian Hair as a part of a religious ceremony is shaved off from the scalp.

CLEARING UP THE MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF NAURAL AFRO HAIR

General Posts No Comments
By\nDr. Edward Tony Lloneau\n

Unlike what most people believe dealing with natural Afro centric hair is not a difficult task.  The most difficult task is dealing with misconceptions that we have regarded as facts for so long that they became an accepted reality for many of us.

\n

NORM VERSUS NORMAL

\n

Who is not familiar with the phrase “Your hair is nappy; it needs fixing?”  This means that it’s time for a touchup and implies that pure Afro centric hair is undesirable.  The worst aspect is that Afro hairs care routines and in many cases even Afro life is based upon and revolves around these kinds of notions.  The beliefs are so profound that, help of course, it will take some time before people will be able to let these misconceptions go.

AFRO CENTRIC SKIN CARE PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS

 \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. The problem associated with dark oily skin in some people is a condition called Keloids. Keloids are formed after a cut or any puncture of the skin that causes bleeding. With keloids, when the skin heals, an erosion of the skin forms resembling a hardened lump the same diameter of the cut.

\n\nHOW TO PROMOTE AND STIMULATE NATURAL\nHAIR GROWTH\n

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.  They think the problem is lack of natural growth form the scalp, when in reality; the problem is the hair is breaking off from the ends for a variety of reasons.  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.  Once hair stops growing, it is eliminated by way of attrition.  In other words, as every hair shaft dies out due to the normal life span of the hair shaft (5 to 7 years), then it will not be replaced by another.  Therefore, permanent baldness becomes apparent.
