TASK 1
POROSITY TEST
1. Get into pairs and carry out an
analysis of each others hair
condition.
2. Look at the hair.
3. Listen and discuss previous
treatments.
4. Feel the hair; this tells you a lot
about the condition.
5. Carry out a porosity test.
6. Discuss the findings
TAKE A FEW STRANDS OF HAIR AND
WITH ONE FINGER & ONE THUMB
SIDE DOWN TOWARDS THE SCALP.
THE MORE RESISTANCE FELT, THE
MORE POROUS THE HAIR.
TASK 2
Label the diagram and fill in the missing words from
the list at the bottom of the page.
The cuticle is made up of ____________to ___________
layers of overlapping scales. These scales
are ____________________________, like frosted glass,
so that the hair colour can be seen through them.
The cuticle is very tough and holds the whole hair
together, but it may be damaged by_______________
_________________________such as perms or bleaches
or harsh treatments such as _______________________
________________________.
Answers:
BACK BRUSHING, TEN, TRANSLUCENT, HARSH CHEMICALS, SEVEN.

TASK 3
Look up elasticity test in the index page of
your text book
And complete the following sentence;
How, why and when do you carry out an
elasticity test?
TASK 4
(USE YOUR TEXT BOOKS TO HELP)
The cortex is made from many strands or fibres, which are twisted together.
These can stretch, and then return to their original length.
Hair is made of a protein called — — — — — — — .
Keratin itself is made of — — — — — — — — — — ,which
are found in long coiled chains
called — — — — — — — — — — — —chains.
Various links and bonds hold these chains together.
Temporary bonds are — — — — — — — — bonds
and — — — — links. These break and rejoin whenever the
hair is — — — — — — — — — or — — — —
into a new shape.
Answers:
HYDROGEN, KERATIN, POLYPEPTIDE, AMINO ACIDS, DRIED, SALT, STRETCHED.
TASK 4 continued
(USE YOUR TEXT BOOKS TO HELP)
Permanent bonds are called ____________________ bonds;
these are very strong and can only be broken by using
______________or ______________________.
The cortex also contains colour ______________________.
These pigments are called ___________________, which are
brown and black, and _____________________________, which
are _____________and _________. These can only be altered
by permanent _________
or _______________. The medulla is not always present in hair and does not
have any real function
Answers:
MELANIN, BLEACHED, RED, RELAXERS, YELLOW, PERMS, TINT, PIGMENT,
SULPHUR, PHEOMELANIN.

Age
Effects of disease
Hormone balance
•
•
•
•
•
Heredity factors
Climate
Physical condition

TASK 5
Hair is grouped into the following types:
• Caucasian (European) - Loosely waved or straight hair.
• Negroid (African) - Tight, kinked, woolly, curled hair.
• Mongoloid (Asian) - Coarse, straight, lank hair.
