    Single-use items that do not have the capacity to be disinfected after each client use must be:

    • Discarded

    • Washed

    • Stored

    • Immersed

    Correct Answer
    A. Discarded

    The thinnest skin can be found on the:

    • Eyelids

    • Fingertips

    • Lips

    • Nose

    Correct Answer
    A. Eyelids
    Explanation
    The thinnest skin can be found on the eyelids. The skin on the eyelids is very thin and delicate compared to other parts of the body. This is because the eyelids need to be flexible and able to move easily. The thinness of the skin allows for this flexibility and also allows the eyelids to protect the eyes without obstructing vision. Additionally, the skin on the eyelids is also sensitive and prone to wrinkles and sagging due to factors like aging and sun exposure.

    A fiber protein that is the principal component of hair, skin, and nails is:

    • Appendages

    • Melanocytes

    • Keratin

    • Melanin

    Correct Answer
    A. Keratin
    Explanation
    Keratin is the correct answer because it is a fiber protein that is the main component of hair, skin, and nails. Keratin provides strength and structure to these appendages, making them strong and durable. Melanocytes produce melanin, which gives color to the hair, skin, and nails, but they are not the principal component. Therefore, melanocytes and melanin are not the correct answers in this context.

    Water that is chemically softened and allows soaps and shampoos to lather freely is:

    • Soft water

    • Well water

    • Hard water

    • Salt water

    Correct Answer
    A. Soft water
    Explanation
    Soft water is water that has been chemically softened, usually through the removal of minerals such as calcium and magnesium. This process allows soaps and shampoos to lather freely because the minerals that can interfere with the lathering process have been removed. Well water refers to water that is obtained from a well, and it may or may not be soft depending on its mineral content. Hard water contains high levels of minerals and does not lather easily. Salt water is water that contains a high concentration of dissolved salts and is not suitable for lathering with soaps and shampoos.

    THe hair type that requires less elevation and should be left a bit longer because of shrinkage when it dries is:

    • Coarse hair

    • Dry hair

    • Straight hair

    • Curly hair

    Correct Answer
    A. Curly hair
    Explanation
    Curly hair requires less elevation and should be left a bit longer because it tends to shrink when it dries. The natural shape of curly hair causes it to appear shorter when dry, so leaving it slightly longer compensates for this shrinkage. This allows the hair to maintain a desired length and shape when it dries, resulting in a more balanced and even look.

    Hair that has the largest diameter and usually requires more processing time is:

    • Fine hair texture

    • Coarse hair texture

    • Medium hair texture

    • Gray hair

    Correct Answer
    A. Coarse hair texture
    Explanation
    Coarse hair texture refers to hair that has a larger diameter compared to fine or medium hair. This larger diameter makes the hair strands thicker and stronger. Because of its thickness, coarse hair usually requires more processing time, such as styling or chemical treatments, compared to finer hair textures. This is because the thicker strands take longer to absorb and react to the products or processes being applied. Gray hair, on the other hand, refers to hair that has lost its pigmentation and has nothing to do with the diameter or processing time.

    Explanation
    Texturizing is the process of removing excess bulk from the hair without significantly shortening its length. This technique is commonly used to add movement and texture to the hair, making it appear lighter and more voluminous. Unlike beveling, tapering, and stacking, which involve cutting the hair to different lengths, texturizing focuses on thinning out the hair strands to create a softer and more blended look.

    When using heat on human hair wigs, the temperature setting on the styling tool should be:

    • Low

    • High

    • Fast

    • Strong

    Correct Answer

    When the cuticle of the hair is lifted and the hair is overly porous and absorbs color quickly, the hair porosity is defined as:

    • High

    • Medium

    • Low

    • Even

    Correct Answer
    A. High
    Explanation
    When the cuticle of the hair is lifted and the hair is overly porous and absorbs color quickly, it indicates that the hair porosity is high. High hair porosity means that the hair shaft has gaps or openings in the cuticle layer, allowing moisture and color to easily penetrate the hair. This can result in the hair becoming dry, frizzy, and prone to damage.

    Organisms that live in or on another living organism and draw their nourishment from the host organism are:

    • Scabies

    • Fumigations

    • Parasites

    • Pathogens

    Correct Answer
    A. Parasites
    Explanation
    Parasites are organisms that live in or on another living organism and obtain their nourishment from the host organism. They rely on the host for survival and reproduction, often causing harm or disease to the host in the process. Scabies, fumigations, and pathogens do not necessarily fit this definition, as scabies refers to a skin infestation caused by mites, fumigations are a method of pest control, and pathogens are disease-causing agents. Therefore, the correct answer is parasites.

    When sebum hardens and the sebaceous duct becomes clogged, the pore impaction that is formed is a :

    • Coil

    • Lubricant

    • Scar

    • Comedone

    Correct Answer
    A. Comedone
    Explanation
    When sebum, the oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands, hardens and blocks the sebaceous duct, it leads to the formation of a comedone. A comedone is a type of pore impaction commonly known as a blackhead or whitehead. It occurs when the sebum and dead skin cells accumulate in the hair follicle, causing the pore to become clogged. This can result in the formation of a small bump on the skin's surface, which can be either black or white in color.

    During a retouch relaxer application, to avoid overprocessing of hair breakage, do not:

    • Smooth hair ends

    • Smooth the relaxer

    • Overlap the relaxes

    • Apply to resistant areas first

    Correct Answer
    A. Overlap the relaxes
    Explanation
    During a retouch relaxer application, it is important not to overlap the relaxer. Overlapping the relaxer can lead to overprocessing of the hair, which can cause breakage. Overprocessing occurs when the relaxer is applied to previously relaxed hair, causing it to become weak and prone to breakage. To avoid this, it is recommended to only apply the relaxer to the new growth and avoid overlapping onto previously relaxed hair. This will help maintain the integrity and strength of the hair during the retouch relaxer application.
