Module 17

Module 17: Advanced Permanent Waving (Optional)

Suggested time: 15-20 hours Level: Advanced

Module Overview

This module introduces permanent waving to students.

Foundational Objectives

To follow proper safety and sanitation procedures when perming hair.
To generate creativity as an expression reflected in hair, skin, and nail care.
To promote skill development in the manipulation of tools, equipment, and products that may lead to successful employment.

Common Essential Learnings Foundational Objectives

To demonstrate safety and sanitation. (CCT)
To touch, handle, manipulate, or experiment with materials first-hand so that students can discuss their observations from the various products and techniques used. (CCT)

Learning Objectives	Notes
17.1 To define permanent waving. (COM)	Define permanent waving as "the process of chemically restructuring the hair into a different shape".
17.2 To review the pH scale. (COM)	Review the pH scale (learning objective 3.4A). Identify the pH range of waving lotion and neutralizer. Discuss the action of the waving lotion and neutralizer on hair.
17.3 To identify various types of perms. (COM)	Discuss and explain the effects of acid and alkaline perms on the hair. Identify the benefits and hair types that are best suited for these perms.
17.4 To review the purpose of client consultation. (COM)	Review reasons for a client consultation. Discuss the purpose of a consultation before giving a perm. Possible answers should include client’s likes/dislikes in a perm, to determine amount of curl desired, client’s lifestyle, etc.
17.5 To analyze hair. (CCT)	Students identify the importance of proper analysis of the client’s hair. Review learning objective 14.5. Discuss and explain porosity, elasticity, and texture. Explain the effect each has on a perm.
17.6 To determine appropriate rod selection. (COM, CCT, IL)	Correct rod selection is important in achieving the desired amount of curl. The rod selection is determined by; the amount of curl desired the length, elasticity, and texture of the hair.
17.7 To demonstrate sectioning and a basic perm wrap. (CCT)	Demonstrate sectioning for a perm wrap. Demonstrate perm wrap. Discuss other acceptable wraps. Determine criteria to evaluate a quality perm wrap e.g., even tension, elastics are not too tight, etc. Students practise sectioning and perm wrap. Provide student feedback from practice. Review procedure for a permanent wave. Demonstrate application of solutions. Demonstrate proper rinsing, oxidizing, neutralizing and clean up. Note: Stress the importance of following manufacturer’s instructions. Students practise giving a permanent wave. Demonstrate test curls. Stress safety issues while giving a perm, e.g., keep solution from coming in contact with client’s eyes, etc. Discuss post-perm maintenance on hair, e.g., shampoo, conditioner, and styling products.
17.8 To follow appropriate safety measures when permanent waving. (PSVS)	Have students make a list of safety rules to be considered while giving a perm.
