    • Horizontal lines

    • Diagonal lines

    • Directional lines

    A. Horizontal lines
    Explanation
    Horizontal lines are used to create width in hair design. When hair is cut or styled horizontally, it appears wider and fuller. This technique is often used to add volume and create the illusion of thickness in hair. By cutting or styling the hair in horizontal sections, the stylist can create a wider, more expansive look. This is especially useful for those with thin or fine hair who want to add more dimension and fullness to their style. Horizontal lines also help to balance the overall shape and proportions of the hair design.

    • Contrasting

    • Toned

    • Warm

    • Cool

    Correct Answer
    A. Warm
    Explanation
    For a client with gold skin tones, a warm hair color would be flattering. Warm hair colors, such as golden blondes or rich browns, complement gold skin tones by enhancing their warm undertones and creating a harmonious look. Contrasting hair colors may create too much contrast and tonal imbalance, while toned hair colors may not bring out the best in gold skin tones. Cool hair colors, on the other hand, may clash with the warm undertones of gold skin and create a less flattering appearance.

    Chemicals can permanently change the wave pattern of hair. This can be achieved through various chemical treatments such as relaxers, perms, or texturizers. These treatments alter the hair's structure by breaking and reforming the disulfide bonds, resulting in a new wave pattern. Unlike styling tools that provide temporary changes, chemicals offer a long-lasting transformation.

    Explanation
    Curved lines can move in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. Unlike horizontal, single, or parallel lines, which typically move in a specific direction, curved lines have the flexibility to change direction and can rotate either clockwise or counterclockwise. Therefore, curved lines are the only lines that can exhibit this movement.

    When designing an artistic and suitable hairstyle, age is not considered as a physical characteristic. Body posture, features, and head shape are all factors that are taken into account when determining the most flattering hairstyle for an individual. Age, on the other hand, is not directly related to physical attributes and does not play a significant role in determining the suitability of a hairstyle.

    A. Wavy,medium hair
    Explanation
    Wavy, medium hair offers the most versatility in styling because it has a combination of both texture and length. The waves in the hair add natural volume and movement, making it easier to create various hairstyles. The medium length allows for more options in terms of updos, braids, and curls. Additionally, wavy, medium hair can be easily straightened or curled using heat styling tools, giving even more versatility in styling options.

    For a client with___, you should direct the hair back and away from the face at the temples.

    • Close-set eye

    • A large forehead

    • A crooked nose

    • Wide-set eyes

    Correct Answer
    A. Close-set eye
    Explanation
    When a client has close-set eyes, directing the hair back and away from the face at the temples helps to create the illusion of more space between the eyes. By avoiding any hair falling onto the face near the temples, the focus is shifted away from the center of the face and towards the outer edges, making the eyes appear more balanced and spread apart. This technique helps to enhance the client's facial features and create a more harmonious look.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    In designing for clients with large or broad shoulders, the stylist should create styles with:

    Correct Answer
    A. More volume
    Explanation
    When designing for clients with large or broad shoulders, creating styles with more volume is the correct approach. Adding volume to the upper body can help balance out the proportions and create a more visually pleasing silhouette. This can be achieved through various techniques such as using ruffles, pleats, or draping in the shoulder area. By adding volume, the stylist can create a more proportionate and flattering look for clients with larger or broader shoulders.

    To create length and height in hair design, use:

    • Vertical lines

    • Horizontal lines

    • Transitional lines

    • Single lines

    Correct Answer
    A. Vertical lines
    Explanation
    Vertical lines are used in hair design to create length and height. By cutting or styling the hair in a vertical direction, it creates the illusion of length and adds volume to the hair. This technique is commonly used to create layers, texture, and movement in hairstyles. Horizontal lines, on the other hand, tend to create width and can make the hair appear wider or flatter. Transitional lines are used to blend different lengths or textures, while single lines refer to cutting or styling the hair in a straight line without any angles or layers.

    • Medium,straight

    • Coarse, straight

    • Fine,straight

    • Fine,wavy

    Correct Answer
    A. Fine,straight
    Explanation
    Left natural, fine, straight hair may not support many styling options. Fine hair tends to be thin and delicate, making it more prone to breakage and lacking volume. Additionally, straight hair lacks natural texture, making it difficult to create and maintain certain hairstyles. Therefore, fine, straight hair may require additional products or techniques to achieve desired styles or to add volume and texture.

    The __profile has receding forehead and chin.

    • Concave

    • Convex

    • Straight

    • Wavy

    Correct Answer
    A. Convex
    Explanation
    A profile with a receding forehead and chin is typically associated with a convex shape. In a convex profile, the forehead and chin protrude outward, creating a curved or rounded appearance. This is opposite to a concave profile, where the forehead and chin curve inward. A straight profile would not have any noticeable curves or protrusions, while a wavy profile would have irregular or uneven curves.

    • Create volume between the temples and jaw

    Correct Answer
    A. Create volume between the temples and jaw
    Explanation
    To offset or round out the features of a square facial shape, creating volume between the temples and jaw is the most effective approach. This helps to soften the angularity of the face and create a more balanced look. By adding volume in this area, it creates a visual illusion of roundness and helps to create a more oval or elongated appearance, which is often considered more flattering for square faces. This technique can be achieved through various hairstyling techniques or using makeup to contour and highlight specific areas.

    Correct Answer
    A. Prominent 
    Explanation
    For a client with a prominent nose, bringing hair forward at the forehead and adding softness around the face can help to draw attention away from the nose and create a more balanced and flattering look. This technique helps to minimize the focus on the nose and create a more harmonious overall appearance.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    The __ profile has a receding forehead and chin.

    • Concave

    A. Convex

    • A wide face and full cheeks

    Correct Answer
    A. A wide face and full cheeks

  • 26. 

    Lines with a definite forward or backward movement are__ lines.

    • Transitional 

    • Contrasting

    • Directional 

    • Diagonal 

    Correct Answer
    A. Directional 
    Explanation
    Directional lines are lines that have a clear forward or backward movement. They can guide the viewer's eye in a specific direction and create a sense of movement or flow in a composition. In contrast, transitional lines connect different elements without a clear direction, contrasting lines create a visual opposition or difference, and diagonal lines create a sense of dynamism or tension. Therefore, directional lines are the most appropriate choice for lines with a definite forward or backward movement.

    Rate this question:

    • Has hollow cheeks

    • Is narrow at the middle third of the face

    Correct Answer
    A. Is narrow at the middle third of the face
    Explanation
    The square face shape is characterized by a narrow middle third of the face. This means that the width of the face is relatively narrower in the area between the temples and the jawline. The other characteristics mentioned in the question, such as being narrow at the temples, having hollow cheeks, and being rounded at the jaw, may be common features of other face shapes but are not specific to the square face shape.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    For a client with a ___, the hair should be directed forward in the chin area.

    • Round jaw

    • Receding chin

    • Small chin

    • Large chin

    Correct Answer
    A. Receding chin
    Explanation
    When a client has a receding chin, it means that their chin appears smaller or less prominent compared to the rest of their face. To balance out the facial features and create the illusion of a more defined chin, the hair should be directed forward in the chin area. This technique helps to visually enhance the chin and create a more harmonious overall look.

    Rate this question:

  • 29.

    • Curly, medium

    • Curly, coarse

    • Extremely curly, coarse

    • Very curly. fine

    Correct Answer
    A. Very curly. fine
    Explanation
    For ease of styling, very curly hair is generally best cut short. Very curly hair tends to be more difficult to manage and style when it is longer, as it can become tangled and frizzy. Cutting it shorter helps to control the volume and reduce the amount of time and effort required for styling. Additionally, fine hair texture is typically more prone to damage and breakage, so keeping it shorter can help maintain its health and prevent further damage.
