    Cosmetologists should clean their hands before and after serving a client to maintain proper hygiene and prevent the spread of germs and bacteria. By cleaning their hands before serving a client, they ensure that they are not transferring any dirt or contaminants onto the client's skin or hair. After serving a client, cleaning their hands again helps to remove any product residue or potential pathogens that may have been present during the service. This practice is crucial in maintaining a safe and clean environment for both the cosmetologist and the client.

    The color the skin depends on the blood supply to the skin and the coloring pigment called:

    • Keratin

    • Melanin

    • Collagen

    • Tyrosine

    Correct Answer
    A. Melanin
    Explanation
    The color of the skin depends on the blood supply to the skin and the coloring pigment called melanin. Melanin is produced by special cells called melanocytes, which are located in the epidermis. The amount and type of melanin in the skin determine its color. Higher levels of melanin result in darker skin, while lower levels lead to lighter skin tones. Melanin also helps protect the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

    Bad or offensive breath may be treated and minimized by:

    • Gargling with an astringent

    • Spraying with a disinfectant

    • Spraying with a perfumed caustic

    • Rinsing with mouthwash

    Correct Answer
    A. Rinsing with mouthwash
    Explanation
    Rinsing with mouthwash is an effective way to treat and minimize bad or offensive breath. Mouthwash contains ingredients such as antiseptics and deodorizers that help kill bacteria in the mouth and mask unpleasant odors. Gargling with an astringent and spraying with a disinfectant may also help to some extent, but they may not be as effective as mouthwash in combating bad breath. On the other hand, spraying with a perfumed caustic is not a recommended method as it may cause irritation and damage to the oral tissues.

    Scalp massage is beneficial because it stimulates the

    • Sudoriferous secretions

    • Blood circulation

    • Pituitary gland

    • Thyroid gland

    Correct Answer
    A. Blood circulation
    Explanation
    Scalp massage is beneficial because it stimulates blood circulation. When the scalp is massaged, it increases the flow of blood to the hair follicles, which in turn promotes hair growth and strengthens the hair roots. Improved blood circulation also ensures that the hair follicles receive essential nutrients and oxygen, leading to healthier and shinier hair. Additionally, scalp massage can help in relieving tension and stress, which can further improve blood circulation and overall scalp health.

    • Stimulate the flow of blood

    Correct Answer
    A. Stimulate the flow of blood
    Explanation
    Scalp manipulations, such as massaging or brushing, can stimulate the flow of blood in the scalp. This increased blood circulation brings more oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles, promoting hair growth and overall scalp health. Additionally, it can help remove toxins and waste products from the scalp, improving its condition.

    In order to give the body support and balance and to help maintain good posture, the cosmetologist should wear:

    • Ankle support boots

    • High-heeled shoes

    • Low-heeled shoes

    • Sandals

    Correct Answer
    A. Low-heeled shoes
    Explanation
    Cosmetologists are required to be on their feet for long periods of time, so it is important for them to wear shoes that provide support and balance. Low-heeled shoes are the best option as they offer stability and help maintain good posture. High-heeled shoes may cause discomfort and increase the risk of injury, while sandals and ankle support boots may not provide enough support for standing for extended periods. Therefore, low-heeled shoes are the most suitable choice for a cosmetologist.

    • Tensile strength

    • Coarseness or fineness

    • Elasticity

    • Pliability

    Correct Answer
    A. Coarseness or fineness
    Explanation
    Texture refers to the coarseness or fineness of the hair. It describes the diameter of individual hair strands and determines how the hair feels and looks. Coarse hair has a larger diameter and feels thicker, while fine hair has a smaller diameter and feels thinner. Texture also affects how the hair responds to styling and chemical treatments.

    Combs and brushes are sanitized by immersion in a ________ solution.

    • Deodorant

    • Boric acid

    • Disinfectant

    • Thio

    Correct Answer
    A. Disinfectant
    Explanation
    Combs and brushes need to be sanitized to remove any bacteria, germs, or dirt that may be present on them. Immersion in a disinfectant solution is an effective way to achieve this. Disinfectants are specifically designed to kill or neutralize microorganisms, making them a suitable choice for sanitizing tools like combs and brushes. Deodorant, boric acid, and thio do not have the same sanitizing properties as disinfectants, so they would not be as effective in this context.

    • Liquid dry

    • Peroxide

    • Henna

    • Plain

    Correct Answer
    A. Liquid dry
    Explanation
    The term "liquid dry" is a contradiction in terms, as liquid implies a wet substance while dry implies the absence of moisture. Therefore, the phrase "liquid dry shampoo" suggests a product that can clean the hair without the use of water or traditional shampoo, making it a suitable explanation for cleansing the hair without shampoo and water.

    Rate this question:

  • 21.

    • Soapless oil shampoo

    • Dry shampoo

    • Henna rinse

    Correct Answer
    A. Clear warm water rinse
    Explanation
    After using an acidic rinse, a clear warm water rinse is typically used. This helps to remove any remaining residue from the acidic rinse and restore the hair's pH balance. A clear warm water rinse is gentle and effective in cleansing the hair without the use of harsh chemicals or additives. It leaves the hair feeling clean and refreshed, preparing it for further styling or treatments if desired.

    • Facial features

    • Physical strength

    • Hair color

    • Makeup

    Correct Answer
    A. Facial features
    Explanation
    Hairstyles are designed to accentuate the client's facial features. This means that the style of the hair is chosen and created in a way that enhances and complements the client's unique facial structure, such as their face shape, bone structure, and other facial characteristics.

    Explanation
    When abrasions are present, it is not recommended to give a massage. Abrasions are open wounds or injuries on the skin's surface, which can be painful and sensitive. Massaging over abrasions can further irritate the skin, delay the healing process, and potentially introduce bacteria, causing infection. It is important to allow abrasions to heal before receiving a massage to avoid any complications or discomfort.

    A tight scalp can be made more flexible by

    • An egg dry shampoo

    • Scalp manipulations

    • A tar shampoo

    • An antiseptic shampoo

    Correct Answer
    A. Scalp manipulations
    Explanation
    Scalp manipulations, such as massaging or stretching the scalp, can help improve its flexibility. These manipulations increase blood circulation to the scalp, which promotes the health of the hair follicles and can help relieve tension in the scalp. Additionally, scalp manipulations can stimulate the production of natural oils, which can moisturize and nourish the scalp, making it more flexible. Using an egg dry shampoo, a tar shampoo, or an antiseptic shampoo may have other benefits for the scalp, but they do not directly contribute to making the scalp more flexible.

    • Ridges

    • Flexibility

    • Firmness

    • Color

    Correct Answer
    A. Ridges
    Explanation
    Ridges on the nails can be a sign of various health conditions, such as nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or even aging. A healthy nail should be smooth and without any ridges. Ridges can appear as vertical or horizontal lines on the nails, and their presence may indicate underlying health issues that need to be addressed.

    Pathogenic bacteria are especially common

    • In dry places

    • On implements

    • In dirty places

    • On clean towels

    Correct Answer
    A. In dirty places
    Explanation
    Pathogenic bacteria are especially common in dirty places because these environments provide favorable conditions for their growth and survival. Dirty places often have a higher concentration of organic matter, such as food particles or bodily fluids, which serve as nutrients for bacteria. Additionally, dirty places are more likely to have poor sanitation practices, allowing bacteria to thrive. In contrast, clean towels are less likely to harbor pathogenic bacteria as they are regularly washed and dried, reducing the chances of bacterial growth.

    • Hair brushing

    • Scalp massage

    Correct Answer
    A. Hair brushing
    Explanation
    Hair brushing is an effective method to remove dust and dirt from the hair. When we brush our hair, the bristles of the brush help to loosen and remove any particles that may be trapped in the hair. Additionally, brushing stimulates the scalp and promotes blood circulation, which can also help to remove any dirt or debris that may be present. Regular brushing can keep the hair clean and free from dust and dirt buildup, making it an essential part of hair care routine.

    Minor bleeding in manicuring is stopped with:

    • Alcohol

    • A disinfectant

    • A styptic powder

    • A sealer

    Correct Answer
    A. A styptic powder
    Explanation
    Styptic powder is used to stop minor bleeding in manicuring. It contains ingredients like aluminum sulfate or ferric subsulfate, which help to constrict blood vessels and promote clotting. When applied to a small cut or nick, the styptic powder helps to quickly stop the bleeding, allowing the manicure to continue without any further interruption. Alcohol and disinfectants are not typically used for this purpose, as they do not have the same clotting properties as styptic powder. A sealer, on the other hand, is used to protect and seal the nail polish, but it does not have any hemostatic properties to stop bleeding.

    Superfluous hair, or abnormal development of hair on the body, is called:

    • Alopecia

    • Hypertrichosis

    • Canities

    • Monilethrix

    Correct Answer
    A. Hypertrichosis

    Correct Answer
    A. The cushions of the fingertips
    Explanation
    During a shampoo, a scalp massage is typically performed using the cushions of the fingertips. This technique involves applying gentle pressure with the padded area of the fingertips, providing a soothing and relaxing experience for the client. Using the cushions of the fingertips allows the stylist to stimulate blood circulation, promote hair growth, and distribute the shampoo evenly throughout the scalp. It also helps to relieve tension and stress, making the shampoo experience more enjoyable for the client.

    The method of permanent hair removal is:

    • Electrolysis

    • Arching

    • Tweezing

    • Dipilatories

    Correct Answer
    A. Electrolysis
    Explanation
    Electrolysis is the correct answer because it is a method of permanent hair removal. It involves the use of a small needle that is inserted into each hair follicle to deliver an electric current, which destroys the hair root and prevents future hair growth. This process is effective in permanently removing unwanted hair, although it may require multiple sessions for complete results. Arching, tweezing, and using depilatories are temporary methods that only remove hair at the surface level and do not provide permanent results.
