    Hair services that cause a chemical change that permanently alters the natural wave pattern of the hair are called:

    • Thermal waving

    • Chemical texture services

    • Wet setting

    • Haircoloring services

    Correct Answer
    A. Chemical texture services
    Explanation
    Chemical texture services refer to hair services that involve the use of chemicals to permanently alter the natural wave pattern of the hair. This can include procedures such as relaxing, perming, or straightening the hair using chemical treatments. Thermal waving, wet setting, and hair coloring services do not involve permanent alteration of the hair's wave pattern, making chemical texture services the correct answer.

    A strong, compact cuticle makes for:

    • Damaged hair

    • Easily permed hair

    • Resistant hair

    • Porous hair

    Correct Answer
    A. Resistant hair
    Explanation
    A strong, compact cuticle refers to the outermost layer of the hair shaft being healthy and intact. This means that the hair is less prone to damage from external factors such as heat, chemicals, or environmental stressors. It also implies that the hair is less likely to absorb moisture or lose moisture, making it resistant to becoming dry or frizzy. Therefore, a strong, compact cuticle contributes to having resistant hair.

    The hair texture that is the most fragile and easiest to process with permanent waving solution is:

    • Fine hair

    • Porous hair

    • Medium hair

    • Coarse hair

    Correct Answer
    A. Fine hair
    Explanation
    Fine hair is the most fragile and easiest to process with permanent waving solution because it has a smaller diameter and is more delicate compared to other hair textures. The smaller diameter makes it more susceptible to damage from chemical treatments, such as permanent waving. Additionally, fine hair has a lower density, which allows the waving solution to penetrate and process more quickly. This makes it easier to achieve the desired wave or curl pattern in fine hair compared to other hair textures.

    • Bookend wrap

    • Single flat wrap

    • Single end paper wrap

    • Double flat wrap

    Correct Answer
    A. Double flat wrap
    Explanation
    The double flat wrap technique provides the most control over the hair ends and keeps them evenly distributed. This technique involves folding the end paper in half and placing it flat against the hair ends, then folding another end paper in half and placing it flat on top of the first end paper. This double layer of end paper helps to secure the hair ends in place and prevent them from sticking out or becoming unevenly distributed during the wrapping process.

    After rinsing perm solution from the hair, the next step is to:

    • Remove the rods

    • Apply more waving solution

    • Blot the rods with towls

    • Apply neutralizer

    Correct Answer
    A. Blot the rods with towls
    Explanation
    After rinsing the perm solution from the hair, the next step is to blot the rods with towels. This is done to remove any excess moisture from the hair and the rods, ensuring that the hair sets properly and the desired wave or curl pattern is achieved. Blotting the rods with towels also helps to prevent any dripping or running of the perm solution, which could potentially cause uneven results or damage to the hair. Once the rods are blotted, the next step would typically be to apply the neutralizer to set the hair in its new shape.

    Of the three types of side bonds, disulfide bonds are the:

    • Most easily broken

    • Strongest

    • Weakest

    • Most numerous

    Correct Answer
    A. Strongest
    Explanation
    Disulfide bonds are the strongest type of side bonds. These bonds are formed when two cysteine amino acids come together and form a covalent bond between their sulfur atoms. Disulfide bonds are very stable and require a significant amount of energy to break. They play a crucial role in maintaining the structure and stability of proteins, such as in the formation of the tertiary structure. Therefore, among the three types of side bonds, disulfide bonds are the strongest.

    Of the various base controls, the least amount of volume is created by using:

    • Off-base placement

    • On-base placement

    • Croquignole placement

    • Half-off-base placement

    Correct Answer
    A. Off-base placement
    Explanation
    Off-base placement creates the least amount of volume among the various base controls. This technique involves wrapping the hair around the base of the tool, away from the scalp. Since the hair is not wrapped tightly against the scalp, it does not create as much lift or volume as the other placement options. On-base placement, croquignole placement, and half-off-base placement all involve wrapping the hair closer to the scalp, which creates more volume.

    If the hair is underprocessed:

    • Too many disulfide bonds are broken

    • The hair is overly softened

    • The hair is curlier at the scalp

    • Too few disulfide bonds are broken

    Correct Answer
    A. Too few disulfide bonds are broken
    Explanation
    If the hair is underprocessed, it means that too few disulfide bonds are broken. Disulfide bonds are responsible for the shape and structure of the hair. When these bonds are broken, it allows the hair to be reshaped or styled. If too few bonds are broken, it means that the hair hasn't been processed enough to achieve the desired result. This can result in the hair not being as soft or as curly as intended.

    Salt bonds are easily broken by:

    • Water

    • Blow-dryers

    • Changes in pH

    • High humidity

    Correct Answer
    A. Changes in pH
    Explanation
    Salt bonds are formed between positively and negatively charged ions in a molecule. These bonds are relatively weak and can be easily broken when the pH of the environment changes. When the pH changes, the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution alters, which affects the charge distribution in the molecule and weakens the salt bonds. This makes changes in pH the most likely factor to break salt bonds.

    Permanent waves that require heat from an outside source, usually a hair dryer, are called:

    • Acid-balanced

    • Alkaline

    • Endothermic

    • Exothermic

    Correct Answer
    A. Endothermic
    Explanation
    Permanent waves that require heat from an outside source, usually a hair dryer, are called endothermic. Endothermic waves are a type of permanent wave that require the application of heat to activate the waving lotion or solution. The heat helps to open up the hair cuticle, allowing the waving solution to penetrate and reshape the hair. This type of permanent wave is typically used for clients with resistant or coarse hair, as the heat helps to break down the protein structure of the hair, allowing for a more effective and longer-lasting curl.

    In off-base placement, the hair is wrapped __ to its base section.

    • 45 degrees above perpendicular

    • Parallel

    • 45 degrees below perpendicular

    • Perpendicular (90 degrees)

    Correct Answer
    A. 45 degrees below perpendicular
    Explanation
    In off-base placement, the hair is wrapped 45 degrees below perpendicular to its base section. This means that the hair is wrapped at an angle that is below the 90-degree angle formed by the base section. This technique is commonly used in hair styling to create volume and movement in the hair. By wrapping the hair at a downward angle, it allows the hair to fall in a natural and flowing manner.

    The single most important factor in determining the ability of hair to hold a curl it its:

    • Density

    • Elasticity

    • Porosity

    • Texture

    Correct Answer
    A. Elasticity
    Explanation
    Elasticity is the ability of hair to stretch and return to its original shape without breaking. It is the most important factor in determining the ability of hair to hold a curl because hair that is more elastic will be able to stretch and conform to the shape of the curling iron or other styling tool, and then bounce back into a curled shape. Hair that lacks elasticity may not be able to hold a curl as well because it may not be able to stretch and conform to the shape of the curling iron, resulting in a looser or less defined curl.

    Zigzag partings are used to divide base areas in the perm wrapping technique called the:

    • Bricklay perm

    • Spiral technique

    • Weave technique

    • Curvature perm

    Correct Answer
    A. Weave technique
    Explanation
    Zigzag partings are used in the weave technique of perm wrapping. This technique involves dividing the base areas of the hair into zigzag sections and wrapping the perm rods in a crisscross pattern. The zigzag partings create a more natural and blended look, as they allow the hair to fall in a more random pattern, rather than in uniform rows. This technique is commonly used to achieve a more textured and voluminous result in perming.

    To test for metallic salts in the hair, immerse at least 20 strands in a mixture of peroxide and:

    • Thio

    • Bleach

    • Alcohol

    • Ammonia

    Correct Answer
    A. Ammonia
    Explanation
    Ammonia is used to test for metallic salts in the hair because it forms a complex with the metal ions present in the salts. This complex usually has a distinct color, allowing for easy identification of the presence of metallic salts. Peroxide is typically used as a bleaching agent in hair treatments, and thio is not commonly used in this context. Alcohol does not have the ability to form complexes with metallic salts, making it an ineffective choice for testing.

    The major difference between a wet set and a perm is the:

    • Size of the wrapping tools

    • Type of end bonds broken

    • Type of wrapping tools

    • Type of side bonds broken

    Correct Answer
    A. Type of side bonds broken
    Explanation
    A wet set and a perm both involve curling the hair, but the major difference lies in the type of bonds broken. In a wet set, the curls are achieved by breaking the hydrogen bonds in the hair, which can be easily reformed when wet. On the other hand, a perm breaks the stronger disulfide bonds in the hair, which permanently alters the hair's structure and allows it to hold the curl even when dry. Therefore, the correct answer is "type of side bonds broken."

    For perm wrapping, the hair is divided into panels, then into:

    • Partings

    • Base controls

    • Subpanels

    • Base sections

    Correct Answer
    A. Base sections
    Explanation
    Perm wrapping involves dividing the hair into panels, which are then further divided into base sections. Base sections are the subsections of each panel where the hair is wrapped around the perm rod. This allows for even distribution of the perm solution and creates consistent curls or waves throughout the hair.

    The wrapping technique in which the hair is wrapped from the ends to the scalp in overlapping layers is called:

    • Basic wrapping

    • Croquignole wrapping

    • Spiral wrapping

    • Circular wrapping

    Correct Answer
    A. Croquignole wrapping
    Explanation
    Croquignole wrapping is the wrapping technique in which the hair is wrapped from the ends to the scalp in overlapping layers. This technique creates a tighter curl and is commonly used for creating spiral curls or waves. Basic wrapping involves wrapping the hair in a single layer from the ends to the scalp, while spiral wrapping involves wrapping the hair in a spiral pattern from the ends to the scalp. Circular wrapping refers to wrapping the hair in a circular pattern around the head.

    An optional step after blotting the hair before applying neutralizer is to:

    • Apply a pre-neutralizing conditioner

    • Wash with a gentle shampoo

    • Rinse a second time

    • Apply protective cream

    Correct Answer
    A. Apply a pre-neutralizing conditioner
    Explanation
    Applying a pre-neutralizing conditioner after blotting the hair helps to prepare the hair for the neutralizer. This conditioner helps to restore moisture and balance the pH levels of the hair, ensuring that it is in the best condition to receive the neutralizer. By applying the pre-neutralizing conditioner, the hair is protected from potential damage that the neutralizer may cause, and it also helps to enhance the effectiveness of the neutralizing process.
