    Which of the following is classified as a universal solvent?

    • Salt

    • Soap

    • Lye

    • Water

    Correct Answer
    A. Water
    Explanation
    Water is classified as a universal solvent because it has the ability to dissolve a wide range of substances. This is due to its polar nature, with a slightly positive charge on its hydrogen atoms and a slightly negative charge on its oxygen atom. These charges allow water molecules to attract and surround ions or polar molecules, effectively breaking them apart and dispersing them throughout the solution. This property makes water capable of dissolving many substances, making it the most commonly used solvent in various chemical and biological processes.

    Small amounts of chlorine can be added to water to:

    • Kill bacteria

    • Add minerals

    • Soften the water

    • Harden the water

    Correct Answer
    A. Kill bacteria
    Explanation
    Chlorine is a powerful disinfectant that can effectively kill bacteria and other microorganisms present in water. By adding small amounts of chlorine, the water can be treated and made safe for consumption. Chlorine works by breaking down the cell walls of bacteria, preventing their growth and reproduction. This helps to prevent waterborne diseases and ensure the water is free from harmful pathogens. Adding chlorine does not add minerals to the water, nor does it soften or harden it.

    • From largest to smallest percentage

    • From smallest to largest percentage

    • In order of weight

    • Alphabetical order

    Correct Answer
    A. From largest to smallest percentage
    Explanation
    The ingredients on shampoo are listed from largest to smallest percentage to indicate the relative amounts of each ingredient in the product. This order allows consumers to understand which ingredients are present in higher quantities and which ones are present in smaller amounts. By listing the ingredients in this way, it helps users make informed decisions about the product and understand the potential effects of each ingredient.

    A pH-balanced shampoo has a pH in the range of:

    • 3.0-3.0

    • 4.5-5.5

    • 6.0-7.0

    • 7.5-8.5

    Correct Answer
    A. 4.5-5.5
    Explanation
    A pH-balanced shampoo has a pH in the range of 4.5-5.5. This range is considered to be the ideal pH level for shampoos because it closely matches the natural pH of the scalp, which is around 5.5. Maintaining this pH balance helps to keep the scalp and hair healthy by not stripping away the natural oils or causing excessive dryness. Shampoos with a pH outside of this range may disrupt the natural balance of the scalp and hair, leading to various issues such as dryness, oiliness, or scalp irritation.

    • Proteins

    • Silicones

    • Humectants

    • Preservatives

    A. Humectants
    Explanation
    Humectants are substances that absorb moisture or promote the retention of moisture. They are commonly used in skincare and cosmetic products to hydrate the skin by attracting water from the environment and binding it to the skin. This helps to keep the skin moisturized and prevent dryness. Therefore, humectants are the correct answer to the question.

    • Detangler

    • Balancing treatment

    • Color enhancer

    • Protein conditioner

    Correct Answer
    A. Protein conditioner
    Explanation
    A protein conditioner is designed to penetrate the cortex and reinforce the hair shaft from within, temporarily reconstructing the hair. Protein conditioners contain proteins that help to strengthen and repair damaged hair by filling in gaps and smoothing the hair cuticle. These proteins can help to improve the overall condition and appearance of the hair, making it stronger, smoother, and more resistant to breakage. By nourishing the hair from within, protein conditioners can provide temporary reconstruction and improve the overall health and vitality of the hair.

    • Medicated scalp lotion

    • Scalp astringent oil

    • Scalp conditioner

    • Leave-in conditioner 

    Correct Answer
    A. Scalp astringent oil
    Explanation
    Scalp astringent oil is used after a scalp treatment and before styling to remove oil accumulation. Astringent oils are specifically designed to help cleanse and refresh the scalp by removing excess oil and impurities. They work by tightening the pores and reducing oil production, leaving the scalp feeling clean and refreshed. This step is important before styling as it helps to create a clean and healthy foundation for the hair, allowing for better absorption and effectiveness of styling products.

    Brushing of the hair should never be done prior to:

    • Chemical services

    • Shampoo services

    • Styling services

    • Conditioning services

    Correct Answer
    A. Chemical services
    Explanation
    Brushing the hair should never be done prior to chemical services because brushing can cause the hair to become tangled and damaged, which can interfere with the chemical process. It is important to have the hair in a smooth and untangled state before applying any chemicals to ensure even application and minimize the risk of breakage or damage.

    The most highly recommended hairbrushes are those made from:

    • Nylon bristles 

    • Plastic bristles

    • Natural bristles

    • Metal bristles

    Correct Answer
    A. Natural bristles
    Explanation
    Natural bristles are the most highly recommended hairbrushes because they are gentle on the scalp and hair, reducing breakage and damage. They distribute the natural oils from the scalp to the ends of the hair, promoting healthier and shinier hair. Natural bristles also help to stimulate blood circulation in the scalp, which can promote hair growth. Additionally, they are suitable for all hair types and textures, making them a versatile option for everyone.

    As a safety feature for the client, during a shampoo you should monitor the water temparature by:

    • Waiting for the client to direct you to make it warmer or cooler

    • Keeping one finger over the edge of the spray nozzle in contact with the water

    • Using the nozzle to spray your palms periodically

    • Dipping your elbow in the water in the sink every few minutes

    Correct Answer
    A. Keeping one finger over the edge of the spray nozzle in contact with the water
    Explanation
    Keeping one finger over the edge of the spray nozzle in contact with the water is the correct answer because it allows the stylist to constantly monitor the temperature of the water. By keeping their finger in contact with the water, they can quickly detect any changes in temperature and make adjustments accordingly to ensure the client's comfort and safety. This method is more effective than waiting for the client to direct them or using other body parts to gauge the temperature.

    A scalp treatment used when there is a deficiency of natural oil on the hair or scalp should contain:

    • Mineral oil based products

    • Sulfonated oil base products

    • Strong soap preparations

    • Moisturizers and emollient ingredients

    Correct Answer
    A. Moisturizers and emollient ingredients
    Explanation
    A scalp treatment used when there is a deficiency of natural oil on the hair or scalp should contain moisturizers and emollient ingredients. This is because moisturizers help to hydrate the scalp and hair, preventing dryness and flakiness. Emollient ingredients, on the other hand, help to soften and smoothen the hair and scalp, providing nourishment and protection. Using mineral oil based products or sulfonated oil base products may not be as effective in addressing the deficiency of natural oil, and strong soap preparations may further strip the scalp of its natural oils, exacerbating the issue.

  • 13. 

    High-frequency current should never be used on hair treated with tonics that contain:

    • Water

    • Alcohol

    • Oil

    • Conditioning products 

    Correct Answer
    A. Alcohol
    Explanation
    When high-frequency current is applied to hair treated with tonics that contain alcohol, it can cause the alcohol to evaporate quickly, leading to dryness and potential damage to the hair. High-frequency current is known to have a drying effect on the hair, and when combined with alcohol, it can exacerbate this effect. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid using high-frequency current on hair treated with tonics that contain alcohol to maintain the health and integrity of the hair.

    Excessive oiliness is caused by:

    • Clogged pores

    • A fungus called mallassezia

    • Overactive sebaceous glands

    • Inactive sebaceous glands

    Correct Answer
    A. Overactive sebaceous glands
    Explanation
    Excessive oiliness is caused by overactive sebaceous glands. These glands are responsible for producing sebum, an oily substance that helps lubricate and protect the skin. When the sebaceous glands become overactive, they produce an excessive amount of sebum, leading to oily skin. This can be influenced by various factors such as hormonal changes, genetics, and certain medications.

    When working a shampoo into a lather, you should use:

    • The cushion of your palms

    • Fingertips

    • Your nails

    • The side of your fingers

    Correct Answer
    A. The cushion of your palms
    Explanation
    When working a shampoo into a lather, it is recommended to use the cushion of your palms. This is because the cushion of your palms provides a larger surface area, allowing for better distribution of the shampoo throughout the hair. Using the cushion of your palms also helps to create a gentle and even pressure on the scalp, promoting better cleansing and stimulation of the hair follicles. Additionally, using the cushion of your palms reduces the risk of scratching or irritating the scalp, unlike using your nails or fingertips.

    The primary difference between a relaxation massage and a treatment massage is:

    • The duration of the massage

    • The type of drape you use

    • Your finger movements

    • The products you use

    Correct Answer
    A. The products you use
    Explanation
    The primary difference between a relaxation massage and a treatment massage is the products you use. In a relaxation massage, typically scented oils or lotions are used to enhance the relaxation experience. These products are chosen for their soothing properties and pleasant fragrance. On the other hand, in a treatment massage, specific products such as therapeutic creams or ointments may be used to target and address specific issues or conditions. These products are selected based on their healing or therapeutic properties, and are meant to provide relief or aid in the treatment process.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    What should be the primary consideration when selecting a shampoo?

    • The condition of the client's hair and scalp

    • The amount of money the client is willing to pay

    • The type of shampoo you have the most in stock

    • The type of service you are planning to perform after the shampoo

    Correct Answer
    A. The condition of the client's hair and scalp
    Explanation
    The primary consideration when selecting a shampoo should be the condition of the client's hair and scalp. This is because different shampoos are formulated to address specific hair and scalp needs, such as dryness, oiliness, dandruff, or color-treated hair. By considering the condition of the client's hair and scalp, you can choose a shampoo that will effectively address their specific needs and provide the best results.

    Rate this question:

    • Dull the color of the hair

    • Add a great deal of color to the hair

    • Add brassiness to the hair

    • Eliminate unwanted color tones from the hair

    Correct Answer
    A. Eliminate unwanted color tones from the hair
    Explanation
    Color-enhancing shampoos are specifically designed to eliminate unwanted color tones from the hair. These shampoos contain special pigments or color-depositing agents that help neutralize or counteract undesired tones in the hair, such as brassiness or yellowing. By using color-enhancing shampoos, individuals can maintain or restore the desired color of their hair by neutralizing any unwanted tones and achieving a more balanced and vibrant appearance.

    Explanation
    The question asks for the type of conditioner that is not included in the given options. The options include leave-in, rinse-out, treatment or repair, and spray-on.

    Spray-on thermal products safeguard against the harmful effects of___ the hair

    • Cutting

    • Shampooing

    • Conditioning 

    • Blowdrying

    Correct Answer
    A. Blowdrying
    Explanation
    Spray-on thermal products are designed to protect the hair from the damaging effects of blowdrying. Blowdrying can cause heat damage, dryness, and frizz to the hair. Using a spray-on thermal product before blowdrying creates a barrier between the hair and the heat, helping to minimize these harmful effects. It provides a layer of protection and can also help to lock in moisture, leaving the hair looking healthier and more manageable.

    Rate this question:

    For a client with __hair, it is recommended that you use gentle cleansing shampoo and a light leave-in conditioner.

    • Fine,damaged

    • Fine,straight

    • Curly-damaged

    • Curly,dry

    Correct Answer
    A. Fine,damaged
    Explanation
    For a client with fine, damaged hair, it is recommended to use gentle cleansing shampoo and a light leave-in conditioner. Fine hair tends to be more delicate and prone to breakage, so a gentle shampoo will help avoid further damage. Additionally, damaged hair requires extra care and hydration, which can be provided by a light leave-in conditioner. Using these products will help nourish and strengthen the hair without weighing it down or causing further damage.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    Appropriate products for course,damaged,dry hair include all of the following except:

    • Deep-moisturizing shampoo for damaged hair

    • Leave-in conditioner

    • Spray-on thermal protector treatments

    • Deep-conditioning treatments and hair masks 

    Correct Answer
    A. Spray-on thermal protector treatments
    Explanation
    Spray-on thermal protector treatments are not appropriate for course, damaged, dry hair because they are primarily used to protect the hair from heat styling tools such as flat irons and curling irons. While they can help prevent damage caused by heat, they do not provide the necessary moisture and conditioning that course, damaged, dry hair needs. Deep-moisturizing shampoo for damaged hair, leave-in conditioner, and deep-conditioning treatments and hair masks are all suitable options as they provide hydration and nourishment to the hair.

    • Advising the client and promoting products 

    Correct Answer
    A. Cleaning and disinfecting your tools
    Explanation
    The correct answer is cleaning and disinfecting your tools. This is because part 1 of the 3-part procedure involves various tasks such as helping the client through the scheduling and payment process, performing the requested service, advising the client, and promoting products. Among these tasks, cleaning and disinfecting the tools is an essential step to ensure hygiene and safety. It helps prevent the spread of germs and infections, maintaining a clean and healthy environment for both the client and the service provider.

    • Dip them directly into disinfectant 

    Correct Answer
    A. Run them under warm flowing water
    Explanation
    The correct way to rinse your implements after cleaning them is to run them under warm flowing water. This method helps to remove any remaining residue or cleaning agents from the implements effectively. Warm water is preferred as it can help to loosen and wash away any debris more easily compared to cold water. Additionally, the use of flowing water ensures that the rinsed contaminants are carried away, leaving the implements clean and ready for use.

    You should wait until__ before discussing your retail product recommendations.

    • A blowdryer is operating

    • The service is complete

    • The client consultation

    • The client has paid 

    Correct Answer
    A. The service is complete
    Explanation
    Before discussing retail product recommendations, it is important to wait until the service is complete. This ensures that the client has received the full service experience and can make an informed decision about the products they may need. Discussing product recommendations before the service is complete may lead to confusion or misunderstandings, as the client's needs and preferences may change throughout the service. Waiting until the service is complete allows for a more accurate and tailored recommendation.

  • 26. 

    Rainwater or chemically softened water that contains only a small amount of minerals is called:

    • Soft water

    • Hard water

    • Deionized water

    • Sparkling water 

    Correct Answer
    A. Soft water
    Explanation
    Soft water refers to rainwater or chemically softened water that contains only a small amount of minerals. This type of water is considered "soft" because it lacks the high concentration of minerals found in hard water. Soft water is desirable for various purposes as it prevents the buildup of scale in pipes and appliances, improves the effectiveness of soaps and detergents, and leaves less residue on surfaces. Deionized water, on the other hand, has had all its ions removed and is different from soft water. Sparkling water is carbonated water and unrelated to the mineral content.

    Water that contains minerals that reduce the ability of soap or shampoo to lather properly is called:

    • Soft water

    • Hard water

    • Deionized water

    • Distilled water 

    Correct Answer
    A. Hard water
    Explanation
    Hard water is water that contains high levels of minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. These minerals can react with soap or shampoo, forming a scum or residue that reduces the ability of the soap or shampoo to lather properly. Therefore, water that contains minerals that reduce the ability of soap or shampoo to lather properly is called hard water.

    Rate this question:

  • 28.

    • Constrained

    • Contradicted

    • Contraindicted

    • Countermanded

    Correct Answer
    A. Contraindicted
    Explanation
    A "contraindicted" procedure is one that may produce undesirable side effects. The term "contraindicted" suggests that the procedure is not recommended or advised due to potential negative consequences. This implies that the procedure could have harmful or unwanted side effects if performed. Therefore, "contraindicted" is the correct answer as it aligns with the idea of a procedure that may produce undesirable side effects.

    • Balancing 

    Correct Answer
    A. Clarifying
    Explanation
    Shampoo containing an active chelating agent that binds to metals and removes them from the hair is called clarifying shampoo. Clarifying shampoos are specifically designed to remove product buildup, minerals, and other impurities from the hair. The chelating agent in the shampoo binds to metals, such as copper and iron, and helps to remove them, leaving the hair clean and refreshed. This type of shampoo is often recommended for individuals who use a lot of hair products, swim regularly in chlorinated pools, or have hard water, as it helps to restore the hair's natural shine and manageability.

    Correct Answer
    A. Dry
    Explanation
    The given question asks for the type of shampoo that cleanses the hair without the use of soap and water.

    The __ end of a surfuctant molecule is water-attracting.

    • Lipophilic

    • Humectant 

    • Hydrophilic

    • Astringent 

    Correct Answer
    A. Hydrophilic
    Explanation
    The hydrophilic end of a surfactant molecule is water-attracting. This means that it has an affinity for water and can easily dissolve or interact with water molecules. Surfactants are molecules that have both hydrophilic and lipophilic (water-repelling) ends, allowing them to interact with both water and oil. In this case, the correct answer is hydrophilic because it describes the water-attracting nature of the surfactant molecule.

    Rate this question:

  • 35. 

    The __ end of a surfactant is oil-attracting.

    • Humectant 

    • Hydrophillic

    • Astringent 

    • Lipophilic 

    Correct Answer
    A. Lipophilic 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "lipophilic". A surfactant is a substance that reduces the surface tension between two liquids or between a liquid and a solid. The lipophilic end of a surfactant molecule is oil-attracting, meaning it is attracted to and has an affinity for oils and other non-polar substances. This allows the surfactant to effectively mix and interact with oil-based substances.
