    Which of the following is recommended for a client with a square face?

    • A style with more width at the sides

    • A style with height

    • Using bangs or sweep braids across the forehead

    • Framing the face with longer braids 

    Correct Answer
    A. Framing the face with longer braids 
    Explanation
    Framing the face with longer braids is recommended for a client with a square face. This style helps to soften the angles of the face and create a more balanced and flattering look. The longer braids add length to the face, making it appear less square and more oval-shaped.

    • Pear-shaped

    • Elongated 

    • Oval

    • Heart-shaped

    Correct Answer
    A. Elongated 
    Explanation
    The given statement describes a face shape that is too long and requires a hairstyle with more width at the sides. The term "elongated" accurately describes this type of face shape, as it suggests that the face is stretched out and needs to be balanced with a wider style.

    Which brush is recommended for scalp stimulation and removal of dirt and lint from the locks?

    • Vent brush

    • Boar-bristle brush

    • Nylon-bristle brush

    • Square paddle brush

    Correct Answer
    A. Boar-bristle brush
    Explanation
    A boar-bristle brush is recommended for scalp stimulation and removal of dirt and lint from the locks. Boar bristles are gentle on the scalp and help to distribute natural oils from the scalp to the ends of the hair, resulting in healthier and shinier locks. The bristles also effectively remove dirt and lint from the hair, leaving it clean and free from debris.

    When curly hair is braided wet, it __ as it dries.

    • Falls apart

    • Remains unchanged

    • Expands

    • Shrinks 

    Correct Answer
    A. Shrinks 
    Explanation
    When curly hair is braided wet, it shrinks as it dries. This is because curly hair has a natural tendency to contract and become shorter when it dries. When the hair is braided, it is stretched out and held in place. However, as the hair dries, it loses moisture and returns to its natural curly state, causing it to shrink and become shorter in length.

    • French

    • Inverted

    • Visible

    • Invisible 

    Correct Answer
    A. Visible
    Explanation
    A visible braid is created using a three-strand underhand braid technique where strands are woven under the center strand. This means that the braid is done in such a way that all three strands are visible and can be seen intertwining with each other.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Single braids can move:

    • In any direction

    • From side to side

    • Up and down

    • Diagonally 

    Correct Answer
    A. In any direction
    Explanation
    Single braids can move in any direction because they are not restricted to a specific path or motion. Unlike certain hairstyles or braiding techniques that limit the movement to a single direction, single braids can be easily maneuvered in various ways. This flexibility allows for more versatility and styling options, making it easier to create different looks and experiment with different hairstyles. Whether it's moving from side to side, up and down, or diagonally, single braids offer the freedom to be styled in any direction desired.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Extensions for single braids are integrated into natural hair using the:

    • Two-strand overhand technique

    • Three-strand underhand technique 

    • Individual braid technique

    • Medium to large techniques

    Correct Answer
    A. Three-strand underhand technique 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the three-strand underhand technique. This technique involves dividing the natural hair into three sections and crossing the outer sections under the middle section, alternating from left to right. This creates a braid that integrates the extensions with the natural hair. The two-strand overhand technique involves crossing the outer sections over the middle section, while the individual braid technique involves braiding each extension individually. The medium to large techniques do not specifically refer to the integration of extensions into natural hair.

    Which of the following is NOT a basic method of locking?

    • The comb technique

    • Braids or extensions

    • The palm roll

    • The block roll

    Correct Answer
    A. The block roll
    Explanation
    The block roll is not a basic method of locking. The comb technique, braids or extensions, and the palm roll are all commonly used methods for creating and maintaining locks in hair. However, the block roll is not a recognized technique in the context of hair locking.

    • A person's social status 

    • The family to which the person belonged

    • Whether the person had children

    • Whether the person was married 

    Correct Answer
    A. A person's social status 
    Explanation
    Different styles of braiding in some African tribes were used to indicate a person's social status. This means that the way a person braided their hair would communicate their position or rank within the community. The specific style chosen would convey information about their social standing, distinguishing them from others and reflecting their importance or role in society.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    What is the most important feature of the wide-toothed comb?

    • The length of the teeth 

    • The distance between the teeth 

    • The material from which the comb is made

    • The sharpness of the teeth

    Correct Answer
    A. The distance between the teeth 
    Explanation
    The most important feature of the wide-toothed comb is the distance between the teeth. Wide-toothed combs are specifically designed to detangle and style thick, curly, or textured hair. The wider spacing between the teeth allows the comb to glide through the hair more easily, reducing breakage and damage. This feature is especially beneficial for people with fragile or easily tangled hair, as it helps to minimize pulling and snagging while combing.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Most human hair used for hair extensions is imported from which part of the world?

    • South America

    • Asia

    • Eastern Europe

    • South Africa 

    Correct Answer
    A. Asia
    Explanation
    Asia is the correct answer because it is the largest supplier of human hair used for hair extensions. Countries like India and China are major exporters of human hair, providing a wide range of textures and qualities that cater to the diverse needs of the hair extension industry.

  • 14. 

    Blowdrying does NOT:

    • Soften the hair

    • Dry wet hair quickly

    • Make hair more manageable for combing

    • Tighten and shrink the wave pattern

    Correct Answer
    A. Tighten and shrink the wave pattern
    Explanation
    Blowdrying does not tighten and shrink the wave pattern because heat and airflow from the blowdryer can actually loosen and straighten the hair.

  • 15. 

    The fishtail braid is best done on:

    • Long, layered hair

    • Short,layered hair

    • Long,non-layered hair

    • Short,non-layered hair 

    Correct Answer
    A. Long,non-layered hair
    Explanation
    The fishtail braid is best done on long, non-layered hair because this type of hair provides a smooth and even base for creating the braid. Layered hair can make it difficult to achieve a clean and neat fishtail braid, as the layers may stick out or create uneven sections. Additionally, shorter hair may not have enough length to create the desired effect of a fishtail braid. Therefore, long, non-layered hair is the ideal hair type for achieving a beautiful and well-defined fishtail braid.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    How long does a tree braiding service take?

    • 1 hour

    • 4 hours

    • 6 hours

    • 90 minutes 

    Correct Answer
    A. 4 hours
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 4 hours because tree braiding is a time-consuming process that involves braiding extensions into the natural hair. This technique requires precision and attention to detail, which takes a significant amount of time to complete. Additionally, the length and thickness of the hair can also affect the duration of the service. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that a tree braiding service would take approximately 4 hours to finish.

    • Maturation stage 

    Correct Answer
    A. Sprouting stage
    Explanation
    During the sprouting stage of locks, a build can be felt at the end of each lock. This is because during this phase, the hair follicles start to produce new hair strands, which can be felt as a build or growth at the end of each lock.

    • Sprouting stage

    • Growing stage

    • Maturation stage

    Correct Answer
    A. Growing stage
    Explanation
    The growing stage is the phase of hair development when the hair begins to regain length. This stage follows the sprouting stage, during which the hair follicle forms, and precedes the maturation stage, when the hair fully develops. The prelock stage is not a recognized phase of hair development.

    During the first developmental phase of locks, the hair coil:

    • Is rough in texture

    • Has a matte texture

    • Is straight

    • Has an open end

    Correct Answer
    A. Has an open end
    Explanation
    During the first developmental phase of locks, the hair coil has an open end. This means that the hair coil is not fully formed or closed at one end. It suggests that the hair is still growing and in the process of developing into a complete coil.

    Which of these is a braid created with two strands that are twisted around each other?

    • Fishtail braid

    • Invisible braid

    • Rope braid

    • Single braid

    Correct Answer
    A. Rope braid
    Explanation
    A rope braid is created by twisting two strands of hair around each other. This creates a structured and rope-like appearance, with the two strands tightly intertwined. The fishtail braid involves weaving small sections of hair from two larger sections, creating a fishtail-like pattern. An invisible braid is created by weaving small sections of hair under larger sections, giving the illusion of an invisible braid. A single braid is a basic three-strand braid, without any twisting or weaving involved.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    Which of these separate networks of curly, textured hair that have been intertwined and meshed together?

    • French braids

    • Locks

    • Cornrows

    Correct Answer
    A. Locks
    Explanation
    Locks are a separate network of curly, textured hair that has been intertwined and meshed together. Unlike French braids, cornrows, or canerows, locks are formed by allowing the hair to naturally mat and form into thick, rope-like strands. This process involves minimal manipulation and maintenance, resulting in a unique and distinct hairstyle.

    Correct Answer
    A. Diffuser
    Explanation
    A diffuser is used to dry hair without disturbing the finished look and without dehydrating the hair. It is a tool that is attached to the end of a hairdryer and has multiple prongs or fingers that disperse the airflow. This helps to evenly distribute the heat and air, reducing frizz and maintaining the natural texture of the hair. The diffuser is particularly useful for those with curly or wavy hair, as it helps to enhance and define the curls while minimizing damage.
