    • Cornrows

    • Locks

    • Twists

    • Dreadlocks 

    Correct Answer
    A. Cornrows
    Explanation
    Cornrows refer to narrow rows of invisible braids that lie close to the scalp and are created with a 3-strand, on-the-scalp braiding technique. This hairstyle involves braiding the hair tightly against the scalp in a straight line, creating rows that resemble corn kernels. Cornrows are a popular and versatile hairstyle that can be worn by people of all ages and hair types. They can be styled in various patterns and designs, and are often adorned with beads or other accessories. Cornrows are known for their durability and low maintenance, making them a practical choice for many individuals.

    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.

    The __method involves applying extensions to cornrows by building the braid up strand by strand.

    • Feed-in

    • Over-weave

    • Draw-down

    • Button-through

    Correct Answer
    A. Feed-in
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "feed-in". This method involves adding extensions to cornrows by gradually building the braid up strand by strand. The extensions are carefully incorporated into the braid to create a natural and seamless look. This technique allows for a more controlled and precise application of the extensions, resulting in a more natural and blended outcome.

    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.

    • It is prone to tangling 

    Correct Answer
    A. It closely mimics human hair
    Explanation
    Kanekalon is a type of synthetic fiber commonly used in wigs and hair extensions. It is known for closely mimicking the texture and appearance of human hair, making it a popular choice for those seeking a natural look. Unlike other synthetic fibers, Kanekalon is designed to be soft and silky, providing a realistic feel and movement. This characteristic sets it apart from other options and makes it a preferred choice for individuals looking for a hair alternative that closely resembles their natural hair.

  • 9. 

    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.

  • 10. 

    During which developmental phase of locks foes the hair begin to regain length?

    • Sprouting stage

    • Growing stage

    • Prelock 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.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    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

    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.

    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.

    Which of these is a tool that separates the hair as it combs, and is recommended for detangling wet curly hair?

    • Finishing comb

    • Double-toothed comb

    • Tail comb

    • Cutting comb

    Correct Answer
    A. Double-toothed comb
    Explanation
    A double-toothed comb is a tool that separates the hair as it combs, making it easier to detangle wet curly hair. The double teeth help to gently untangle knots and prevent breakage, making it a recommended tool for this specific hair type and condition. A finishing comb is used for styling and smoothing hair, a tail comb is used for creating precise partings and sections, and a cutting comb is used for cutting and styling hair.

    • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

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

    • French braids

    • Locks

    • Cornrows

    • Canerows

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • Concentrator

    • Diffuser

    Correct Answer

    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.

    • Invisible braid

    • Inverted braid

    • Rope braid

    Correct Answer
    A. Rope braid
    Explanation
    The term "rope braid" does not refer to the three-strand braid produced with an overhand technique. The other three terms, French braid, invisible braid, and inverted braid, all refer to different variations of the three-strand braid produced with an overhand technique. However, a rope braid is created by twisting two strands of hair around each other in the same direction, giving it a rope-like appearance.

    When performing a braiding service, it is recommended that you use __ to create shapes and finished looks, and to trim bangs and excess extension material.

    • 2 inch scissors

    • 3 inch scissors

    • 5 inch scissors

    • 8 inch scissors 

    Correct Answer
    A. 5 inch scissors
    Explanation
    When performing a braiding service, it is recommended to use 5 inch scissors. This length is ideal for creating shapes and finished looks in the hair, as well as for trimming bangs and excess extension material. The longer length of 5 inches provides better control and precision while cutting, making it easier to achieve desired results. Using shorter or longer scissors may not provide the same level of accuracy and may lead to uneven or jagged cuts.

    • Square paddle brush

    • Boar-bristle brush

    • Vent brush

    • Natural hairbrush

    Correct Answer
    A. Square paddle brush
    Explanation
    A square paddle brush is recommended for releasing tangles, knots, and snarls in both short, textured hair and long, straight hair. The square shape and wide surface of the brush allow for easy detangling and smoothing of the hair. It is also effective in distributing natural oils from the scalp to the ends of the hair, promoting overall hair health.

    • The block roll

    Correct Answer
    A. The block roll

    • The diameter of the hair

    • The feel of the hair

    • The length of the hair

    • The wave pattern

    Correct Answer
    A. The length of the hair
    Explanation
    Texture in natural hairstyling services refers to the diameter of the hair, the feel of the hair, and the wave pattern. These qualities determine the overall appearance and style of the hair. However, the length of the hair does not fall under the category of texture. Length refers to the measurement of the hair from the root to the tip and is not directly related to the texture of the hair.

It is especially effective for adding texture and definition to hair that has natural waves or curls. The inverted braid technique involves crossing the strands under each other instead of over, which helps to create a unique and eye-catching hairstyle.
