    The natural hair pigment found in the cortex layer of the hair is :

    • Melanin

    • Tissue

    • Protein

    • Brown

    Correct Answer
    A. Melanin
    Explanation
    Melanin is the natural hair pigment found in the cortex layer of the hair. It is responsible for the color of our hair, skin, and eyes. Melanin is produced by specialized cells called melanocytes, which are located in the hair follicles. The amount and type of melanin determine the color of our hair, with higher levels of melanin resulting in darker hair and lower levels resulting in lighter hair. Melanin also provides protection against harmful UV radiation from the sun.

    Cutting withthe points of your shears to create texture inthe hair ends is known as:

    • Layering

    • Blunt cutting

    • Undercutting

    • Notching or pointing

    Correct Answer
    A. Notching or pointing
    Explanation
    Notching or pointing is the correct answer because it refers to the technique of cutting the hair ends with the points of the shears to create texture. This technique involves making small, intentional cuts in the hair to add dimension and movement, resulting in a textured look. Layering, blunt cutting, and undercutting are different cutting techniques that do not specifically involve using the points of the shears to create texture in the hair ends.

    If the hair is not evenly damp then the haircut will be:

    • Partially finished

    • Uneven

    • Even

    • Perfectly blended

    Correct Answer
    A. Uneven
    Explanation
    If the hair is not evenly damp, it means that some parts of the hair are wetter or drier than others. This can lead to an uneven haircut because the hair may behave differently when wet or dry. Cutting hair that is unevenly damp can result in an inconsistent length or shape, causing the haircut to look uneven overall.

    The division of a bacterial cell into two cells is called:

    • Spore growth

    • Decomposing

    • Mitosis

    • Fertilizing

    Correct Answer
    A. Mitosis
    Explanation
    Mitosis is the correct answer because it is the process by which a bacterial cell divides into two identical daughter cells. During mitosis, the genetic material of the bacterial cell is replicated and then evenly distributed between the two daughter cells. This process allows for growth and reproduction of bacterial populations. Spore growth, decomposing, and fertilizing are not accurate terms to describe the division of a bacterial cell into two cells.

    Hair texture is determind by the _______ of the individule hair strand.

    • Length

    • Strength

    • Diameter

    • Color

    Correct Answer
    A. Diameter
    Explanation
    Hair texture is determined by the diameter of the individual hair strand. The diameter refers to the thickness or width of the hair strand. Hair strands with a larger diameter tend to have a coarser or thicker texture, while those with a smaller diameter have a finer or thinner texture. The diameter of the hair strand affects how the hair feels, looks, and behaves, such as being more prone to frizz or being easier to style. Therefore, the diameter of the hair strand plays a significant role in determining hair texture.

    • Nail bed

    • Cuticle

    • Nail fold

    • Ligament

    Correct Answer
    A. Nail bed
    Explanation
    The living skin on which the nail plate sits is called the nail bed. The nail bed is located underneath the nail plate and provides nourishment and support to the growing nail. It contains blood vessels and nerves that supply nutrients and sensation to the nail. The nail bed also plays a role in nail growth and helps to anchor the nail plate in place. The cuticle refers to the thin layer of skin at the base of the nail, the nail fold is the skin that surrounds the sides of the nail, and the ligament is a connective tissue structure that attaches the nail to the underlying bone.

    • Lightener did not lift enough

    Correct Answer
    A. A filler may be used
    Explanation
    When performing a tint back, a filler may be used. This is because when removing a dark hair color and trying to achieve a lighter shade, the hair may become porous and lack the necessary underlying pigment. In such cases, a filler is used to restore the missing pigment before applying the desired lighter shade. The filler helps to even out the hair's porosity and creates a more balanced and uniform color result.

    Correct Answer
    A. Work-related repetitive injuries
    Explanation
    The term musculoskeletal disorders refers to injuries or conditions that affect the muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, and other structures of the body. Work-related repetitive injuries are a specific type of musculoskeletal disorder that occur due to repetitive motions or activities performed in the workplace. These injuries can be caused by tasks such as typing, lifting heavy objects, or using vibrating tools. They often result in pain, stiffness, inflammation, and reduced range of motion in the affected area. Therefore, work-related repetitive injuries are a fitting explanation for the term musculoskeletal disorders.

    • Sectioning

    • Blunt cutting

    • Carving

    • Beveling

    Correct Answer
    A. Beveling
    Explanation
    Beveling is a technique used to cut the ends of the hair at a slight taper using diagonal lines. This creates a softer and more natural look compared to blunt cutting, which involves cutting the hair straight across. Sectioning refers to dividing the hair into smaller sections for easier styling or cutting, while carving is a technique used to create texture and movement in the hair. Therefore, the correct answer is beveling.

    The correct answer is "Bed epithelium." The bed epithelium is a thin layer of tissue that helps guide and support the growth of the nail plate. It is located underneath the nail plate and plays a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of healthy nails. The matrix cells are responsible for producing new nail cells, while the nail groove refers to the indentation on the sides of the nail plate. Nail enhancement typically refers to artificial methods of improving the appearance of nails.

    • Diffuse melanin

    • Deposit a base color

    • Remove color buildup

    • Open the cuticle

    Correct Answer
    A. Deposit a base color
    Explanation
    Fillers are used to deposit a base color. This means that fillers are used to add a specific color to the hair in order to create a base for further color application. Fillers are often used when the desired color is significantly different from the current hair color or when the hair is too porous and needs a base color to even out the porosity. By depositing a base color, the hair becomes ready for the desired color to be applied evenly and effectively.

    A. Tension of hair changes
    Explanation
    When cutting hair, tension refers to the amount of force applied to the hair while it is being cut. Cutting between the second and third knuckles would create a different level of tension compared to cutting at other points. This change in tension would result in an uneven haircut because the hair would be cut at different angles and lengths, leading to an inconsistent and uneven appearance.
