Answer:
Heat opens up the cuticle, much the same way ammonia does chemically. This way some dyes will suggest covering your head or applying heat while the color sets. The extra heat, whether from your own head or an external source like a blow dryer or steamer, optimizes the dye's processing for stronger results.
Explanation:
- The cortex is the main body of the hair shaft - it contains natural moisture and color pigment, which is the translucent cuticle.
- The outer layer of the hair shaft, its cuticle, must be opened before permanent color can be deposited into the hair. Once the cuticle is open, the dye reacts with the inner portion of the hair, the cortex, to deposit or remove the color.
Meredith holds full responsibility for what happened to her patient. Falsifying documentation is illegal and extremely dangerous to the patients' health, as was the case with her patient, Mr. Wallace.
Meredith should have never put vitals down that were not taken at the time of the visit. What should have happened is that Meredith should have stopped attempting to take Mr. Wallace's vitals and asked a senior co-worker or the Physician to help assist with taking a blood pressure. She also could have used an alternate way of obtaining a blood pressure (example: using the radial pulse with the blood pressure cuff at the forearm). The patient should absolutely be reimbursed for the medical bills accrued from Meredith's mistake/lapse of judgment. Meredith also just receive a performance write-up with her employer. She is lucky if she would still have a job.
