The correct answer is "profile, straight profile." The side view of the head shape is commonly referred to as the profile. In this context, "straight profile" refers to a head shape that does not have any noticeable curves or angles when viewed from the side.

An insulator or nonconductor is a substance that does not easily transmit electricity. This means that it does not allow the flow of electric current through it. Insulators have high resistance to the flow of electrons, preventing the movement of electric charges. This property makes them useful in electrical insulation, as they can protect against electric shocks and prevent the loss of electrical energy. Examples of insulators include rubber, glass, plastic, and wood.

The statement is false because it is not recommended to give a perm to hair that has been previously dyed with metallic salt haircolor or been serviced with a sodium hydroxide relaxer. Metallic salts can react with the chemicals in the perm solution, causing undesirable and unpredictable results. Similarly, sodium hydroxide relaxers can cause the hair to become overly porous and weak, making it more prone to damage from the perm chemicals. Therefore, it is best to avoid perming hair that has been treated with these substances.

Hair texture refers to the thickness or diameter of the individual hair strand. This means that hair can be classified as fine, medium, or coarse based on its thickness. Fine hair strands have a smaller diameter, while coarse hair strands have a larger diameter. Understanding hair texture is important for choosing the right hair care products and styling techniques, as different textures require different approaches to maintain and style effectively. Therefore, the statement "Hair texture refers to the thickness or diameter of the individual hair strand" is true.

The White dermal light is called the combination light because it is a combination of all visible rays of the spectrum. This means that it contains all the different colors of light that can be seen by the human eye. It is often used in medical and dermatological procedures as it provides a full spectrum of light that can help with accurate diagnosis and treatment.

The part from the apex to the 2 front corners is commonly referred to as bang or fringe. This term is used to describe the section of hair that falls over the forehead and is typically cut shorter than the rest of the hair.

facial treatments are measured in milliamperes; an ampere is way too strong to use on the face or scalp and can damage the skin or body.

always use warm water; use your sense of smell to see if there is perm solution in the hair, if so keep rinsing

Horizontal lines in hair are parallel to the floor and ceiling. This means that the lines are straight and level, running in a horizontal direction. This creates a sense of balance and stability in the overall appearance of the hair. It also helps to visually elongate the face and create a sense of width. By being parallel to the floor and ceiling, the horizontal lines in the hair maintain a consistent distance apart, which adds to the overall uniformity and structure of the hairstyle.

The statement is true because conditioning treatments can help to soften and lubricate the hair, which can be beneficial for treating trichoptilosis. Trichoptilosis, also known as split ends, is a condition where the ends of the hair become dry, brittle, and split. Conditioning treatments can provide moisture and nutrients to the hair, helping to repair and prevent further damage. By softening and lubricating the hair, conditioning treatments can improve the overall health and appearance of the hair, making them an effective treatment for trichoptilosis.

its true, hair that is more resistant requires a more alkaline solution which causes the cuticle to be fully raised and penetrated

The term "ringed hair" refers to a variety of canities where there are alternating bands throughout the hair. This means that the hair has bands of different colors or shades, creating a ring-like appearance. It is a characteristic of canities, which is the graying or whitening of hair. This condition can occur naturally with age or be caused by various factors such as genetics or certain medical conditions.

elongated melanin pigmented cells are only found in the cortex

Androgenic hair loss refers to hair loss that is caused by genetic factors, hormonal changes, or aging. It is the most common type of hair loss and is often referred to as male or female pattern baldness. This type of hair loss is characterized by a gradual thinning of the hair on the scalp, usually starting at the temples or crown of the head. It is influenced by the presence of androgens, which are hormones that play a role in hair growth. Androgenic hair loss can be inherited from either the mother or father's side of the family.

Design texture refers to the visual or tactile quality of a surface or material. It can be smooth, rough, bumpy, or have a specific pattern. In this case, the correct answer is "wave pattern," indicating that design texture refers to the appearance or representation of waves in a design. This could be seen in the use of curved lines or repetitive patterns resembling waves in a visual composition.

Communicate from your heart; problem solve from your head.

The correct answer is browns-black color; reds-yellow blonde color. Eumelanin refers to the pigment responsible for dark colors such as brown and black, while pheomelanin is responsible for lighter colors such as reds and yellow blondes.

A pin curl consists of three main parts: the base, stem, and circle. The base is the foundation of the curl, usually created by twisting a small section of hair against the scalp. The stem is the length of hair between the base and the circle. The circle is the rounded shape formed by wrapping the hair around the base and stem, creating the curl. The closed center refers to the center of the circle being completely covered by the hair.

The proper disinfection procedure includes removing all residue with soap and warm water, cleaning the bowl/sinks, placing the items into a properly labeled container filled with quats and water, rinsing them, storing them accordingly, and washing hands.

Anything that needs to be plugged into a wall to turn on must use a rectifier to change alternating current to direct current.

actually has a pH of 9.0-9.6 for coarse thick or resistant hair types

Dark hair color creates the illusion of less volume, while light hair color creates the illusion of more volume. This is because dark hair colors tend to absorb more light, making the hair appear flatter and less voluminous. On the other hand, light hair colors reflect more light, creating the appearance of more volume and fullness.

The hair is composed of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur. These elements make up the basic building blocks of the hair structure. Carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen are essential for the formation of proteins, which are the main component of hair. Nitrogen is also present in proteins and helps in the growth and maintenance of hair. Sulfur is important for the strength and elasticity of the hair. Salt is not a component of hair and is not included in the elements that make up the hair structure.

NO! for split ends

The answer states that all the given statements are true. According to the answer, natural blondes have an average of 140,000 hairs per head, natural brunettes have an average of 110,000 hairs per head, natural black-haired individuals have an average of 108,000 hairs per head, and natural redheads have an average of 80,000 hairs per head.

The reduction reaction in chemical services involves the disulfide bond joining the sulfur atoms in two adjacent polypeptide chains. The permanent wave solution breaks this disulfide bond by adding a hydrogen atom to each of its sulfur atoms. The sulfur atoms then attach to the hydrogen from the permanent waving solution, breaking their attachment to each other. Once the disulfide bond is broken, the polypeptide chains can form into their new curled shape. Finally, oxidation allows for the reformation of the disulfide bond.

The correct steps for a press and curl service include washing hands, plugging in the stove, placing the hot tool in the stove, washing hands again, setting up sma, washing hands again, single draping the client, parting the hair into 4 sections, applying pressing oil to the hair in 1/2'' subsections, checking the heat of the hot tool with white paper or a neck strip, sufficiently pressing the hair according to the schedule book, unplugging the stove, cleaning up, undraping the client, and washing hands again.

The red light used for dermal services is beneficial for dry skin as it helps to improve hydration and moisture levels. It is also effective for promoting oil and cream absorption into the skin. However, it is not recommended for aged skin and oily skin as it may not provide the desired results for these specific skin concerns.

all are proper use for adding interest

The correct answer is "High-pH" and "Spiral". These are not types of permanent waves. A permanent wave is a chemical process used to curl or wave hair. Cold wave, exothermic, true acid, acid-balanced, ammonia-free, thio-free, low-pH are all types of permanent waves. However, High-pH and Spiral do not fall under the category of permanent waves.

The given answer is correct because applying a hydroxide relaxer from the scalp to the ends can cause damage to the hair and scalp. Hydroxide relaxers are strong chemicals that break down the protein structure of the hair, and applying it from the scalp to the ends can lead to over-processing and potential hair breakage. It is recommended to apply the relaxer to the new growth only, leaving the previously relaxed hair untouched. Additionally, applying base cream to the hairline only is necessary to protect the skin from the relaxer, but applying it to the entire scalp is not required.
