    The medical term for fungal infections of the feet 

    • Plicatured nail

    • Pyogenic granuloma

    • Pincer nail

    • Tinea pedis

    Correct Answer
    A. Tinea pedis
    Explanation
    Tinea pedis is the correct answer because it is the medical term for fungal infections of the feet. Plicatured nail refers to a nail that is folded or bent, pyogenic granuloma is a type of skin growth, and pincer nail is a condition where the edges of the nail curve inward. Therefore, tinea pedis is the most appropriate term for fungal infections of the feet.

    Correct Answer
    A. Base
    Explanation
    The base of a pin curl refers to the stationary foundation of the curl that is closest to the scalp. This is the part of the curl that is secured in place and provides the structure for the curl to form. The base is typically positioned near the scalp to create a tight and secure curl.

    Correct Answer
    A. Full base
    Explanation
    Full base provides a strong curl with full volume. When creating a curl, using a full base means that the entire section of hair is wrapped around the curling tool, creating a larger and more voluminous curl. This technique is ideal for achieving a bouncy and full-bodied hairstyle.

    Correct Answer
    A. Crown
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "crown". The question is asking for the area between the apex (top) and the back of the parietal ridge. The crown is the top part of the head, so it fits the description given in the question. The other options, nape, bang, and crest, do not accurately describe the area in question.

    A styling or cutting comb is a ___ comb

    • Barber

    • All purpose

    • Tint

    • Wide tooth

    Correct Answer
    A. All purpose
    Explanation
    An all-purpose comb is versatile and can be used for various styling and cutting techniques. It is suitable for both barbers and hairstylists as it can be used for different hair types and textures. Unlike a barber comb, which may have specific features for barbering techniques, an all-purpose comb is designed to be used by professionals in any hairdressing or styling situation. Wide tooth combs are typically used for detangling and distributing conditioner, while tint combs are specifically designed for applying hair color. Therefore, the most appropriate answer is all purpose.

    Correct Answer
    A. Layered cut
    Explanation
    A layered cut is a graduated effect achieved by cutting the hair with elevation or overdirection. This technique involves cutting different lengths of hair at different angles, creating layers that add movement and texture to the hair. The layers are usually cut in a way that the top layers are shorter than the bottom layers, giving a cascading effect. This type of cut is popular for adding volume and dimension to the hair.

    • Beau lines

    • Melanonychia

    Correct Answer
    A. Beau lines
    Explanation
    Beau lines are visible depressions that run along the width of the nail plate. These lines occur when there is a disruption in the growth of the nail due to injury or illness. They can appear as deep grooves or ridges on the nails. Melanonychia, on the other hand, refers to the presence of dark pigmentation or brown/black streaks on the nails, while ridges are raised lines that run vertically or horizontally on the nails. Therefore, the correct answer for visible depressions running along the width of the nail plate is beau lines.

This condition is caused by the breakdown of sweat by bacteria on the skin's surface. Anhidrosis refers to the inability to sweat, hypertrichosis is excessive hair growth, and choloasma is a condition that causes brown patches on the skin.

It can result in a white or yellowish discoloration of the nail, and the affected area may become susceptible to secondary infections. Onycholysis can be painful and may require medical attention to prevent further complications.

This technique is often used to thin out thick hair or add texture to straight hair. By slicing through the hair, the stylist can create different lengths and angles, giving the hair more movement and reducing the weight.
