    Correct Answer
    A. The condition of the client’s hair and scalp.
    Explanation
    When selecting a shampoo for a client, it is important to consider the condition of their hair and scalp. Different individuals have different hair types and concerns, such as dryness, oiliness, dandruff, or damage. By assessing the client's hair and scalp condition, a suitable shampoo can be chosen to address their specific needs and provide the desired results. Considering the client's regular shampoo or personal preferences may not necessarily be the most effective approach, as it might not cater to their specific requirements.

    What process would be occurring if you forced liquid into the negative ends of a positive pole?

    • A. 

      Cataphoresis.

    • B. 

      Intophoresis.

    • C. 

      Anaphoresis.

    • D. 

      Desincrustation.

    Correct Answer
    C. Anaphoresis.
    Explanation
    Anaphoresis is the process that occurs when liquid is forced into the negative ends of a positive pole. This process involves the movement of ions or particles away from the electrode. In this case, the negative ends of the positive pole would repel the negatively charged particles in the liquid, causing them to move away from the electrode. This process is commonly used in electrotherapy treatments for skincare, where it helps to cleanse the skin and remove impurities.

      Wrinkles.

    • D. 

      Wounds.

    Correct Answer
    D. Wounds.
    Explanation
    LEDs were originally designed to treat wounds. LED therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate the healing process in the body. The light emitted by LEDs can penetrate the skin and promote cell growth, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the healing of wounds. While LED therapy has also been used for other purposes such as treating acne and wrinkles, its original intention was to aid in wound healing.

    What Cosmetology professionals are only allowed to use products that remove dead skin from what part?

    • A. 

      Stratum Germinativum

    • B. 

      Subcutaneous

    • C. 

      Stratum corneum

    • D. 

      Subcutaneous

    Correct Answer
    C. Stratum corneum
    Explanation
    Cosmetology professionals are only allowed to use products that remove dead skin from the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the skin and is composed of dead skin cells. Removing dead skin cells from this layer helps to improve the appearance and health of the skin. The other options, Stratum Germinativum and Subcutaneous, are not correct because they do not refer to the layer of the skin where dead skin cells are removed.
