\nPART 03:HAIR SERVICES  \nVincent Roppatte  \nStyle Director,Celebrity Hairstylist  \n## Why Study Chemical Texture Services?\n\nChemical hair texture services allow you to change the existing hair'stexture,thereby offering clients various styling options that otherwisewould not be possible(Figure 15-1).There are two broad categoriesof texture services:(1)permanent texture services that permanentlystraighten highly textured hair,relax tightly coiled hair,curl straighthair,or soften curls and(2)semipermanent smoothing treatments thateliminate frizz and smooth curly or wavy hair for up to three months.  \nChemical texture services are hair services that either cause a changewithin the hair's natural wave or curl pattern,or smooth the cuticle.Cosmetologists should study and have a thorough understanding ofchemical texture services because:  \n·Knowing how to perform these services accurately,safely,andprofessionally willhelp build a trusting and loyal clientele.  \n·Knowledge builds confidence,to offer chemical texture services toallclients.  \n·Chemical services are among the most lucrative and repetitiveservices in the salon.  \nEven though the hairstyling world is ever changing,many clients will always want to chemicallyalter the texture of their hair.Because of the recurring nature of chemical texture services,learningthese techniques allows you to greatly expand your potential as a cosmetologist.The chart tofollow outlines a few services and their function to get you started.  \nTexture Services Chart  \nSERVICE  \n## FUNCTION\n\nRemove curl or wave,
