    • Oiliness

    • Color

    • Scalp problems

    • Texture

    Explanation
    The diameter of the hair refers to its thickness or width. The thickness of the hair strand can greatly impact its texture.

    The best type of shampoo to use on a wig is a/an:

    • Dandruff shampoo

    • Gentle shampoo

    • Alkaline shampoo

    • Shampoo with a sulfur base

    Correct Answer
    A. Gentle shampoo
    Explanation
    A gentle shampoo is the best type of shampoo to use on a wig because it is formulated with mild ingredients that are less likely to damage or strip the wig's synthetic or human hair fibers. It is important to use a gentle shampoo to maintain the wig's texture, shine, and overall appearance, while also keeping it clean and free from any build-up or residue. Using a harsh or alkaline shampoo, dandruff shampoo, or shampoo with a sulfur base can be too strong for the delicate wig fibers and may cause them to become dry, brittle, or frizzy.

    • Hair pieces

    • Toupees

    Fantasy colors are particularly effective when added to hair additions made with yak hair because yak hair is known for its durability, strength, and ability to hold color well. The texture and structure of yak hair make it more receptive to dye and color treatments, allowing for vibrant and long-lasting fantasy colors. Additionally, yak hair is often used in high-quality hair extensions and wigs, making it an ideal choice for creating unique and colorful hairstyles.

    A tail comb can be useful when braiding for:

    • Lifting and seperating hair

    • Releasing tangles

    • Parting and sectioning

    • Stimulating the scalp

    Correct Answer
    A. Parting and sectioning
    Explanation
    A tail comb is a narrow comb with a pointed end, specifically designed to part and section the hair. It has a long, thin handle that allows for precise and accurate parting of the hair, making it easier to create clean and defined sections for braiding. This tool is commonly used by hairstylists to achieve neat and symmetrical braids by dividing the hair into equal sections. It is not primarily used for lifting and separating hair, releasing tangles, or stimulating the scalp, although it may have some secondary benefits in these areas.

    Shrinking and recoiling may occur if the hair is braided:

    • With heat

    • Dry

    • Too often

    • Wet

    Correct Answer
    A. Wet
    Explanation
    When hair is wet, it becomes more elastic and prone to stretching. Braiding wet hair can cause the hair to stretch and then shrink as it dries, leading to a shorter appearance. This is why it is recommended to let the hair dry completely before braiding to avoid any potential shrinking or recoiling of the hair.

    Another term for single braids, box braids, and individual braids is:

    • Cornrows

    • Underhand stitch braids

    • Dreadlocks

    • Free-hanging braids

    Correct Answer
    A. Free-hanging braids
    Explanation
    Single braids, box braids, and individual braids are all different styles of braids that are done separately, without incorporating the surrounding hair. These braids are typically left loose and hang freely, hence the term "free-hanging braids." Cornrows, on the other hand, are braids that are done close to the scalp and are usually worn flat against the head. Underhand stitch braids and dreadlocks are different styles altogether and not synonymous with single braids, box braids, or individual braids.

    When preparing textured hair for braiding, separate the hair into more sections if it is:

    • Thinner

    • Thicker

    • Damp

    • Sparse

    Correct Answer
    A. Thicker
    Explanation
    When preparing textured hair for braiding, it is advisable to separate the hair into more sections if it is thicker. This is because thicker hair tends to have more volume and density, making it more difficult to work with in larger sections. By separating the hair into smaller sections, it becomes easier to manage and braid, resulting in a neater and more uniform hairstyle.

    • Coloring the wig

    • The consultation

    Correct Answer
    A. The consultation
    Explanation
    For a hair enhancement service, it is best if the client is in her street clothes for the consultation.

It is important for the client to be in her street clothes so that the hairstylist can assess her overall style, personality, and lifestyle to provide personalized recommendations.

    • Semi-hand-tied wig

    • Machine-made wig

    • Hand-knotted wig

    • Hand-tied wig

    Correct Answer
    A. Machine-made wig
    Explanation
    The least expensive type of wig construction is the machine-made wig. Machine-made wigs are created using a machine to sew the hair strands onto a cap. This process is faster and less labor-intensive compared to other types of construction methods. As a result, machine-made wigs are more affordable and accessible to a wider range of customers. However, they may not provide the same level of natural appearance and versatility as hand-tied or hand-knotted wigs.

    • Palm roll

    • Flat, contoured style

    • On the scalp braid technique

    • The brush technique

    Correct Answer
    A. Palm roll

    • Rolled curls

    • Hair wrapping

    • A ponytail

    • A french twist

    Correct Answer
    A. Hair wrapping
    Explanation
    Hair wrapping is a method used to prepare the hair for putting on a wig. It involves wrapping the natural hair around the head in a circular pattern and securing it with pins or clips. This technique creates a smooth and flat base for the wig to be attached to, ensuring a more secure and natural-looking fit. Hair wrapping is commonly used for individuals with longer hair or those who want to protect their natural hair while wearing a wig.

    • How long they are

    • Which stitch to use

    • How they move

    Correct Answer
    A. How they move
    Explanation
    The partings or subsections for single braids determine how the braids move. The way the braids are divided and sectioned off determines the direction and pattern in which the braids will fall. This can affect the overall look and style of the braids, as well as how they move and flow when the person wearing them moves their head or hair.

    You can tell a human hair wig from a synthetic wig by performing a:

    • A strand test

    • Match test

    • Pull test

    • Predisposition test

    Correct Answer
    A. Match test
    Explanation
    A match test can be used to differentiate between a human hair wig and a synthetic wig. This test involves taking a strand of hair from the wig and burning it with a match. If the hair melts and gives off a plastic smell, it is likely a synthetic wig. On the other hand, if the hair burns and smells like burnt hair, it is most likely a human hair wig. This test relies on the different reactions of human hair and synthetic fibers to heat, helping to determine the type of wig.

    • Semi-hand-tied

    • Hand-tied

    • Machine-made

    • Integration

    Correct Answer
    A. Hand-tied
    Explanation
    Hand-tied wigs are the most realistic and natural-looking because they are made by hand knotting individual strands of hair onto a lace cap. This technique closely resembles the way hair grows from the scalp, creating a more seamless and authentic appearance. The hand-tied construction also allows for greater flexibility and movement, making the wig look and feel more like real hair.

    Correct Answer
    A. On-the-scalp braids
    Explanation
    The track-and-sew method involves sewing hair extensions onto on-the-scalp braids. This method is commonly used to add volume and length to natural hair. By creating braids on the scalp, the hair extensions can be securely sewn onto the braids, providing a natural and seamless look. This technique allows for versatility in styling and ensures that the extensions stay in place for an extended period of time.

    Certain styling challenges are presented by textured hair because it is:

    • Straight

    • Flyaway

    • Limp and lacking body

    • Fragile both wet and dry

    Correct Answer
    A. Fragile both wet and dry
    Explanation
    Textured hair is fragile both when wet and dry. This means that it is prone to breakage and damage whether it is wet or dry. The fragility of textured hair can be attributed to its unique structure and composition. The curls, coils, or waves in textured hair make it more susceptible to damage and breakage compared to straight hair. Additionally, the natural oils produced by the scalp have a harder time traveling down the twists and turns of textured hair, leading to dryness and further fragility. It is important to handle and care for textured hair gently to minimize breakage and maintain its health.

    Turned hair in a wig is:

    • Not turned roots to ends

    • Less expensive

    • Easily tangled

    • Easier to work with

    Correct Answer
    A. Easier to work with
    Explanation
    Turned hair in a wig refers to hair that has been processed or styled in a specific way to achieve a desired look. This makes it easier to work with as it is already shaped and styled, saving time and effort in styling the wig. It does not necessarily mean that the hair is less expensive or easily tangled, as these factors can vary depending on the quality and maintenance of the wig.

    If your client has a round face, a braiding style might include:

    • Symmetry

    • Fullness at the sides

    • Updo braiding

    • Dread locks

    Correct Answer
    A. Updo braiding
    Explanation
    An updo braiding style is a suitable choice for someone with a round face because it helps to create height and elongate the face shape. By pulling the hair up and away from the sides of the face, the updo braiding style adds vertical length, creating the illusion of a more oval-shaped face. This style also provides symmetry by evenly distributing the braids throughout the head, giving a balanced and harmonious look. Fullness at the sides is not ideal for a round face as it can make the face appear wider. Dread locks may not be the best option as they tend to add volume and width, which can accentuate the roundness of the face.

    A human hair wig that has been decolorized or bleached is the best choice for:

    • Styling

    • A natural look

    • Custom coloring

    • Fantasy colors

    Correct Answer
    A. Custom coloring
    Explanation
    A human hair wig that has been decolorized or bleached is the best choice for custom coloring because the process of decolorization or bleaching removes the natural pigment from the hair, making it a blank canvas that can be easily dyed or colored in any desired shade. This allows for complete customization and flexibility in choosing the desired hair color.

    • Require special fittings

    • Are usually hand-knotted

    • Have a closed framework

    • Are machine-made

    Correct Answer
    A. Are machine-made
    Explanation
    Capless wigs are machine-made. This means that they are manufactured using machines rather than being handcrafted. Unlike hand-knotted wigs, capless wigs are made by sewing the hair fibers onto a thin, open wefted base. This construction allows for better ventilation and a lighter weight, making capless wigs more comfortable to wear. Machine-made wigs are also generally more affordable compared to hand-knotted wigs, making them a popular option for those looking for a cost-effective alternative.

    • Hand-tied and hand-knotted hair

    • Hand-tied human and animal hair

    • Synthetic and animal hair

    Correct Answer
    A. Synthetic and hand-tied human hair
    Explanation
    A semi-hand-tied wig is made by combining synthetic hair and hand-tied human hair. This means that the wig has a mix of artificial hair and real human hair that has been individually hand-tied onto the wig cap. The synthetic hair provides durability and style retention, while the hand-tied human hair gives a more natural look and feel to the wig. This combination allows for a realistic appearance and the ability to style the wig as desired.

    • Is worn during sleep

    • Gives 20% to 50% coverage

    • Is permanently attached

    • Sits on top of the hair

    Correct Answer
    A. Sits on top of the hair
    Explanation
    A hair piece is a popular hair addition that sits on top of the hair. This means that it is not worn during sleep, as mentioned in the first option. It also does not give a specific percentage of coverage like 20% to 50%, as mentioned in the second option. Additionally, it is not permanently attached, as stated in the third option. Therefore, the correct answer is that a hair piece sits on top of the hair.

    During the maturation stage of dreadlocks, the ends of the locks are:

    • Frizzy

    • Coming apart

    • Open

    • Totally closed

    Correct Answer
    A. Totally closed
    Explanation
    During the maturation stage of dreadlocks, the ends of the locks become tightly sealed, resulting in a "totally closed" appearance. This occurs as the hair strands within the locks continue to intertwine and mesh together over time. The process of maturation involves the hair strands compacting and knotting, leading to a more solid and closed structure at the ends of the dreadlocks.

    In an integration hairpiece, the client's own hair is:

    • Wrapped around a ponytail hairpiece

    • Pulled through an opening in the base

    • Bonded to the hairpiece

    • Wrapped close to the head

    Correct Answer
    A. Pulled through an opening in the base
    Explanation
    In an integration hairpiece, the client's own hair is pulled through an opening in the base. This allows the client's natural hair to blend seamlessly with the hairpiece, creating a more natural and realistic look. By pulling the hair through the opening, it ensures that the hairpiece is securely attached and stays in place. This method also allows for easy styling and maintenance of the hairpiece, as the client's natural hair can be styled along with the hairpiece.

    • 1:5

    • 1:12

    Correct Answer
    A. 1:7
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 1:7. This ratio refers to the classic proportion between head size and body size. It means that the size of the head is approximately one-seventh of the size of the entire body. This ratio is important to consider when choosing a hair addition for a client because it helps ensure that the hairpiece or wig matches the client's overall body proportions and looks natural.

    • Strand test

    • Temperature test

    • Test curl

    • Patch test

    Correct Answer
    A. Patch test
    Explanation
    A patch test should be performed prior to the application of bonded extensions. This test helps to determine if the client has any allergic reactions or sensitivities to the adhesive used in the extensions. It involves applying a small amount of the adhesive to a small patch of skin, usually behind the ear or on the inner arm, and monitoring for any adverse reactions such as redness, itching, or irritation. This test is important to ensure the safety and comfort of the client during the extension application process.

    • Hair will swell and smoke

    • Color will take more effectively

    • Result will look artificial

    Correct Answer
    A. Hair will swell and smoke
    Explanation
    When a wig that has been treated with metallic dye is exposed to an oxidizing hair color, a reaction occurs between the metallic dye and the oxidizing agent. This reaction causes the hair to swell and smoke. The metallic dye and the oxidizing agent do not interact well, resulting in this physical reaction. This indicates that the combination of the metallic dye and oxidizing hair color is not compatible and may lead to an undesirable outcome.

    Cap wigs are made with an elasticized mesh-fiber base and:

    • Are usually hand-knotted

    • Are machine-made

    • Have a open framework

    • Made with wefts

    Correct Answer
    A. Are usually hand-knotted
    Explanation
    Cap wigs are usually hand-knotted. Hand-knotting is a technique used to attach the hair strands individually to the mesh-fiber base of the wig. This method provides a more natural appearance as it allows for the hair to move and flow freely. Hand-knotted wigs also offer greater versatility in styling options and can be more comfortable to wear due to the flexibility of the base.

    When you comb out a wig after cutting, place it on:

    • A flat surface

    • Your own head

    • The client's head

    • A block

    Correct Answer
    A. The client's head
    Explanation
    When combing out a wig after cutting, it is best to place it on the client's head. This allows for a more accurate assessment of the wig's fit and appearance, as it is being styled specifically for the client. Placing it on a flat surface or a block may not give an accurate representation of how the wig will look when worn. Placing it on your own head may not provide the same fit and style as it would for the client.

    • Adhesive

    • Needle and thread

    • Glue gun

    • Keratin-based strip

Keratin is a protein that is naturally found in hair, and it is used to create a bond between the extension and the natural hair. The strip is heated and melted onto the natural hair, creating a strong and secure attachment. This method is popular because it provides a natural look and allows for flexibility in styling.
