    • Before and after serving a client

    Correct Answer
    A. Before and after serving a client
    Explanation
    Cosmetologists should clean their hands before and after serving a client because it is essential for maintaining proper hygiene and preventing the spread of germs and infections. Before serving a client, hand hygiene is necessary to ensure a clean and safe environment for the client.

    • Time consumed

    • Client's tip

    Correct Answer
    A. Protection of the client

The fee to be charged, time consumed, and client's tip are important factors, but they should not take precedence over the protection and welfare of the client.

    The ability of the skin to stretch and regain its natural shape reveals it:

    • Tension

    • Oiliness

    • Dryness

    • Elasticity

    Correct Answer
    A. Elasticity
    Explanation
    The ability of the skin to stretch and regain its natural shape is a characteristic of elasticity. Elasticity refers to the skin's ability to stretch and then return to its original form without any permanent damage or sagging. This is an important quality of healthy skin, as it allows it to accommodate movement and changes in body shape without losing its tightness or firmness.

    Correct Answer
    A. Good
    Explanation
    Maintaining a good posture while giving a shampoo or any other service helps to avoid back strain. A good posture involves keeping the spine aligned, shoulders relaxed, and maintaining a neutral position. This helps distribute the weight evenly and reduces the strain on the back muscles, preventing any potential injuries or discomfort.

    Bad or offensive breath may be treated and minimized by:

    • Gargling with an astringent

    • Spraying with a disinfectant

    • Spraying with a perfumed caustic

    • Rinsing with mouthwash

    Correct Answer
    A. Rinsing with mouthwash
    Explanation
    Rinsing with mouthwash is an effective way to treat and minimize bad or offensive breath. Mouthwash contains ingredients such as antiseptics and deodorizers that help kill bacteria and neutralize odors in the mouth. By rinsing with mouthwash, it helps to freshen breath and maintain oral hygiene. Gargling with an astringent, spraying with a disinfectant, or spraying with a perfumed caustic may not have the same antibacterial properties or freshening effect as mouthwash, making rinsing with mouthwash the most suitable option for treating bad breath.

    • Sudoriferous secretions

    • Blood circulation

    • Pituitary gland

    • Thyroid gland

    Correct Answer
    A. Blood circulation
    Explanation
    Scalp massage is beneficial because it stimulates blood circulation. When the scalp is massaged, it increases the blood flow to the hair follicles, which in turn promotes hair growth and strengthens the hair roots. Improved blood circulation also ensures that the scalp receives an adequate supply of nutrients and oxygen, which are essential for maintaining a healthy scalp and hair. Additionally, scalp massage helps to relax the muscles and relieve tension, leading to a sense of relaxation and well-being.

    • Fatigued

    • Reading styling magazines

    Correct Answer
    A. Well groomed
    Explanation
    A well-groomed cosmetologist is considered one of the best advertisements for an effectively run salon because their appearance reflects their expertise and professionalism. When a cosmetologist takes care of their personal grooming, it gives clients confidence in their abilities and showcases their attention to detail. It also creates a positive impression and sets a high standard for the salon's overall image.

    Combs and brushes are sanitized by immersion in a ________ solution.

    • Deodorant

    • Boric acid

    • Disinfectant

    • Thio

    Correct Answer
    A. Disinfectant
    Explanation
    Combs and brushes need to be sanitized to remove any dirt, bacteria, or other contaminants that may be present. Immersion in a disinfectant solution is an effective way to kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms on these items. Disinfectants are specifically designed to eliminate or reduce the number of harmful pathogens, making them the appropriate choice for sanitizing combs and brushes. Deodorant, boric acid, and thio are not typically used for this purpose and may not have the same sanitizing properties as a disinfectant.

    • Volume

    • Parting

    • Stem

    • Mobility

    Correct Answer
    A. Stem
    Explanation
    A pin curl consists of three parts: the base, which is the area where the curl is secured to the head; the circle, which is the actual curl formed by wrapping the hair around the base; and the stem, which is the remaining hair that extends beyond the circle. The stem provides length and support to the curl, allowing it to hold its shape. Therefore, the correct answer is "stem".

    In order to give the body support and balance and to help maintain good posture, the cosmetologist should wear:

    • Ankle support boots

    • High-heeled shoes

    • Low-heeled shoes

    • Sandals

    Correct Answer
    A. Low-heeled shoes
    Explanation
    The cosmetologist should wear low-heeled shoes in order to give their body support and balance and to help maintain good posture. Low-heeled shoes provide stability and reduce the risk of falls or injuries that can occur with high-heeled shoes or sandals. They also distribute the body weight more evenly, reducing strain on the feet, ankles, and back. Wearing low-heeled shoes allows the cosmetologist to move comfortably and safely while performing their job.

    The color the skin depends on the blood supply to the skin and the coloring pigment called:

    • Keratin

    • Melanin

    • Collagen

    • Tyrosine

    Correct Answer
    A. Melanin
    Explanation
    The color of the skin is determined by the blood supply and the pigment called melanin. Melanin is responsible for giving color to the skin, hair, and eyes. It is produced by special cells called melanocytes, which are located in the epidermis. The amount and type of melanin present in the skin determine its color. Higher levels of melanin result in darker skin tones, while lower levels result in lighter skin tones. Melanin also helps protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

    One important benefit of scalp manipulations is that they

    • Irrigate the scalp

    • Curl hair ends

    • Remove sebum

    • Stimulate the flow of blood

    Correct Answer
    A. Stimulate the flow of blood
    Explanation
    Scalp manipulations, such as massaging or brushing the scalp, can stimulate the flow of blood. This is because the movements increase circulation in the scalp, which helps to nourish the hair follicles and promote hair growth. Additionally, increased blood flow can also deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the scalp, which can improve the overall health of the hair and scalp. Therefore, scalp manipulations are beneficial for promoting a healthy scalp and hair.

    Hairstyles are designed to accentuate the client's facial features. This means that the chosen hairstyle aims to enhance and highlight the unique characteristics of an individual's face, such as their bone structure, eye shape, or jawline. By considering these features, hairstylists can create a hairstyle that complements and flatters the client's face shape, bringing out their best features and enhancing their overall appearance.

    • Abrasions are present

    • Tightness is present

    Correct Answer
    A. Abrasions are present
    Explanation
    When abrasions are present, massage should not be given. Abrasions are open wounds or injuries on the skin's surface, which can be painful and sensitive. Applying pressure or friction through massage can further irritate and damage the already compromised skin, hindering the healing process. It is important to avoid massaging areas with abrasions to prevent infection, exacerbation of pain, and potential scarring.

    When an acidic rinse is used, it is followed with a:

    • Clear warm water rinse

    • Soapless oil shampoo

    • Dry shampoo

    • Henna rinse

    Correct Answer
    A. Clear warm water rinse
    Explanation
    When an acidic rinse is used, it is followed with a clear warm water rinse. This is because the acidic rinse helps to balance the pH level of the hair and scalp, removing any residue and buildup. The clear warm water rinse then helps to remove any remaining product and restore the natural moisture and shine of the hair. It is important to use warm water as it helps to open the hair cuticles and allow for better rinsing.

    A. Scalp manipulations
    Explanation
    Scalp manipulations, such as massaging or stretching the scalp, can help improve its flexibility. These actions stimulate blood circulation and relax the muscles in the scalp, which can help relieve tension and promote a healthier scalp. Additionally, scalp manipulations can also help distribute natural oils and remove any buildup or blockages, resulting in a more flexible and healthier scalp overall.

    Dust and dirt may be removed by

    • Frequent bleachings

    • Finishing sprays

    • Hair brushing

    • Scalp massage

    Correct Answer
    A. Hair brushing
    Explanation
    Hair brushing can help remove dust and dirt from the hair. When we brush our hair, the bristles of the brush help to loosen and remove any particles that may be trapped in the hair strands. Additionally, brushing stimulates the scalp and promotes blood circulation, which can help to remove any dirt or debris that may have accumulated on the scalp. Regular brushing also helps to distribute the natural oils produced by the scalp, keeping the hair healthy and free from buildup. Therefore, hair brushing is an effective way to remove dust and dirt from the hair.

    Correct Answer
    A. The cushions of the fingertips
    Explanation
    During a shampoo, a scalp massage is given with the cushions of the fingertips. This is because the cushions of the fingertips provide a gentle and soothing touch, which helps to stimulate blood circulation in the scalp and relax the muscles. The cushions of the fingertips also allow for better control and pressure during the massage, ensuring a comfortable and effective experience for the client. Additionally, using the cushions of the fingertips prevents any potential discomfort or injury that could be caused by using the tips of the fingernails or applying heavy friction.

    • Yearly scalp massage

    Correct Answer
    A. Cleanliness
    Explanation
    Cleanliness is a basic requisite for a healthy scalp because it helps to prevent the buildup of dirt, oil, and sweat, which can lead to clogged hair follicles and scalp infections. Regularly washing the scalp and hair removes impurities and promotes a clean environment for the hair follicles to thrive. Additionally, keeping the scalp clean can help to prevent dandruff and excessive oiliness, which can contribute to scalp irritation and discomfort. Therefore, cleanliness is essential for maintaining a healthy scalp.

    The thinning of hair involves:

    • Cutting it straight off

    • Blunt cutting

    • Decreasing its bulk

    • Trimming the ends

    Correct Answer
    A. Decreasing its bulk
    Explanation
    Thinning of hair refers to reducing its overall volume or density. This can be achieved through various methods such as texturizing, layering, or using thinning shears to remove some hair strands. By decreasing the bulk of the hair, it creates a lighter and less dense appearance. Cutting it straight off or blunt cutting may not necessarily result in thinning the hair, as these methods focus more on the shape and length rather than reducing the overall volume. Trimming the ends can help maintain the hair's health and prevent split ends, but it may not directly contribute to thinning.

When we are thoughtful towards others, we show courtesy by being polite, kind, and considerate in our interactions. Thoughtfulness allows us to be aware of how our actions and words impact others, and it helps us to treat others with kindness and respect. Therefore, courtesy is built upon the foundation of thoughtfulness towards others.

    Pathogenic bacteria are especially common

    • In dry places

    • On implements

    • In dirty places

    • On clean towels

    Correct Answer
    A. In dirty places
    Explanation
    Pathogenic bacteria are especially common in dirty places because these environments provide favorable conditions for their growth and survival. Dirty places often have an accumulation of organic matter, such as food residues or bodily fluids, which can serve as a nutrient source for bacteria.

    The method of permanent hair removal is:

    • Electrolysis

    • Arching

    • Tweezing

    • Dipilatories

    Correct Answer
    A. Electrolysis
    Explanation
    Electrolysis is the method of permanent hair removal because it involves the use of a small needle that is inserted into each hair follicle. A low electrical current is then applied to destroy the hair follicle, preventing future hair growth. This process targets the root of the hair, making it a long-lasting solution for hair removal. Arching, tweezing, and depilatories are temporary hair removal methods that only remove the hair above the skin's surface and do not prevent regrowth.

    Best results in finger waving are obtained when the hair is naturally:

    • Straight

    • Wavy

    • Frizzy

    • Curly

    Correct Answer
    A. Wavy
    Explanation
    The best results in finger waving are obtained when the hair is naturally wavy. This is because finger waving is a hairstyling technique that involves creating S-shaped waves in the hair using the fingers and a comb. Wavy hair already has a natural texture and movement that makes it easier to manipulate and create the desired waves. Straight hair may not hold the waves as well, while frizzy or curly hair may be more difficult to work with and may result in a less defined wave pattern.
