The degree to which hair absorbs the waving solution is related to...
- A.
Hair Porosity
- B.
Hair texture
- C.
Hair length
Correct Answer
A. Hair PorosityExplanation
The degree to which hair absorbs the waving solution is related to hair porosity. Hair porosity refers to the hair's ability to absorb and retain moisture. When hair is porous, it has open cuticles that allow substances like the waving solution to penetrate deeply into the hair shaft. This results in a stronger and longer-lasting wave or curl. On the other hand, if the hair has low porosity, the cuticles are tightly closed, making it difficult for the waving solution to penetrate. Therefore, hair porosity plays a crucial role in determining the effectiveness of the waving solution.Rate this question:

The action of permanent wave solution is to ?
- A.
Discolor the hair
- B.
Shrink the hair
- C.
Expand the hair
Correct Answer
C. Expand the hairExplanation
Permanent wave solution is used to expand the hair. This solution contains chemicals that break down the disulfide bonds in the hair, allowing it to be reshaped. Once the hair is wrapped around perm rods and the solution is applied, the hair swells and stretches, expanding its shape. This expansion creates the desired curls or waves in the hair.Rate this question:

The polypeptide chains are long chains of amino acids that are joined together by?
- A.
Hydroxide bonds
- B.
Peptide bond
- C.
Amino acids
Correct Answer
B. Peptide bondExplanation
Polypeptide chains are formed by joining amino acids together through peptide bonds. A peptide bond is a covalent bond that forms between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid. This bond is formed through a dehydration synthesis reaction, where a water molecule is removed. The peptide bond is crucial for the structure and function of proteins, as it determines the sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain. Hydroxide bonds do not exist, and while amino acids are the building blocks of polypeptides, it is the peptide bond that connects them.Rate this question:
