A química da estética capilar como temática no ensino de química e na capacitação dos profissionais da beleza

Abstract

This paper presents The Chemistry of Hair Esthetics as a theme to develop a study connecting three subjects: Chemistry undergraduates from the sub-project PIBID-Chemistry from UFSM, high school students from four public schools in Santa Maria / RS and beauty professionals (hairdressers). Through the theme "The Chemistry of Hair Esthetics" it were explored various Chemistry contents, one of them is related to the chemicals present in smoothing. During the development of this project, it was developed and implemented a workshop entitled "The Chemistry of esthetic hair: from curly to smooth the progressive brush fashion." The workshop was structured based on the three pedagogical moments according to Delizoicov: initial questioning, knowledge organization and application of knowledge. In this paper it were developed two studies: the monitoring of the chemistry undergraduates in the process of their initial training and also the views of the high school students from public schools in Santa Maria / RS in relation to the approach of esthetic hair Chemistry in their routine and the Chemistry content from the curriculum of the high school. The second study was carried out with the beauty professionals (hairdressers), in this study it was made a diagnosis of concepts related to this professional s knowledge of chemical concepts for the development of the chemistry procedures in beauty parlors. In this sense, the chemistry of hair esthetics explored in this paper contributed to a significant learning of chemistry both in the school context by the relationship established by students of the content taught in the classroom with the chemistry involved in the world around them, and by the workshop presented to the beauty professionals fulfilling its social character. The work with the beauty professionals resulted in a better understanding of the Chemical methodology used in the procedures applied in beauty parlors.
