The consultation helps the stylist understand the client's expectations and allows them to create a customized color plan to achieve the desired result while maintaining the health and integrity of the hair. Without a thorough consultation, the stylist may not be able to accurately meet the client's needs, resulting in dissatisfaction or potential damage to the hair.

    Dark blotches of color on the skin caused by sun exposure or hormone imbalance is:

    • Dehydration

    • Hyperpigmentation

    • Hypertrichosis

    • Albinsm

    Correct Answer
    A. Hyperpigmentation
    Explanation

Sun exposure can trigger the production of melanin, leading to the formation of dark patches on the skin. Hormone imbalances, such as those that occur during pregnancy or as a side effect of certain medications, can also contribute to hyperpigmentation. Dehydration, hypertrichosis, and albinism are not related to the development of dark blotches on the skin.

    • Stored

    • Immersed

    Correct Answer
    A. Discarded
    Explanation
    Single-use items that cannot be disinfected after each client use must be discarded. This is because these items are designed for one-time use only and cannot be effectively cleaned or sterilized for reuse. Discarding such items ensures hygiene and prevents the spread of infections or contamination to subsequent clients. Washing, storing, or immersing these items would not be sufficient to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination.

    • Conditioning treatment

    • Abrasion test

    Correct Answer
    A. Hair and scalp examination
    Explanation
    A stylist should recommend a hair or scalp treatment only after having performed a hair and scalp examination. This is because a thorough examination allows the stylist to assess the condition of the hair and scalp, identify any issues or problems, and determine the most suitable treatment. Without examining the hair and scalp, the stylist would not have enough information to recommend an appropriate treatment. The examination helps ensure that the treatment chosen addresses the specific needs and concerns of the client's hair and scalp.

    Explanation
    Hair pressing is the correct answer because it refers to the process of using a heated comb to temporarily straighten extremely curly hair. This technique involves applying heat to the hair shaft, which helps to break down the hydrogen bonds in the hair, allowing it to be reshaped and straightened. Hair pressing is a popular method for achieving a sleek and straight look, especially for individuals with naturally curly or kinky hair textures. It provides a temporary straightening effect until the hair is washed or exposed to moisture.

    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 porosity means that the hair shaft has gaps and openings that allow moisture and chemicals to easily pass through, resulting in quick absorption of color. This can make it challenging to maintain color-treated hair as it may fade quickly.
