Which of the following is/are true of removing tangles from the hair?
- A.
Start at lowest point of tangled area
- B.
Start at the scalp and progress toward the ends of hair
- C.
Use long, firm strokes
- D.
Start at the highest point of the tangled area
Correct Answer
A. Start at lowest point of tangled areaExplanation
To remove tangles from the hair, it is recommended to start at the lowest point of the tangled area. This is because starting from the bottom helps to prevent further tangling and breakage of the hair. By gradually working through the tangles from the bottom up, it allows for a more gentle and effective detangling process. Starting at the highest point of the tangled area may cause more knots and make it more difficult to remove the tangles. Using long, firm strokes can also help to untangle the hair more effectively.Rate this question:

What is generally used for shampooing, wet hair cutting, wet styling or chemical services?
- A.
Plastic or waterproof cape
- B.
Cloth cape
- C.
Double-layered cloth cape
- D.
Light weight cape
Correct Answer
A. Plastic or waterproof capeExplanation
Plastic or waterproof capes are generally used for shampooing, wet hair cutting, wet styling, or chemical services because they provide protection against water, chemicals, and hair clippings. They are designed to be waterproof and easy to clean, making them ideal for these tasks. Cloth capes may not provide adequate protection against water or chemicals, and they can absorb liquids, making them less suitable for these purposes. Double-layered cloth capes may offer some extra protection, but they are still not as effective as plastic or waterproof capes. Light weight capes may be more comfortable to wear, but they may not provide the necessary level of protection.Rate this question:
