- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer

Correct Answer(s)
electricityExplanation
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.Rate this question:

- D.

- E.
Smooth with comb
- F.
Apply base cream to hairline only
Correct Answer(s)
C. Apply hydroxide relaxer from scalp to ends
F. Apply base cream to hairline onlyExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Hair texture refers to the thickness or diameter of the individual hair strand.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
A. Disulfide bond joints the sulfur atoms in 2 atoms adjacent polypeptide chains
B. Permanent wave solution breaks a disulfide bond by adding a hydrogen atom to each of its sulfur atoms
C. Sulfur atomsattach to the hydrogen from the permanent waving solution, breaking their attachment to each other
D. Once the disulfide bond is broken, the polypeptide chains can form into their new curled shape.
E. Then last is oxidation allows the reformationExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Always give a perm to hair that has been previously dyed with metallic salt haircolor or been serviced with a sodium hydroxide relaxer.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
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.Rate this question:
