Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    The process of shaping and directing the hair into a pattern of S-shaped waves with the fingers, combs and waving lotion is called:

    • A. 

      Finger waving

    • B. 

      Wet setting

    • C. 

      Thermal curling

    • D. 

      Thermal waving

    • E. 

      Ridge curling

    Correct Answer
    A. Finger waving
    Explanation
    Finger waving is the correct answer because it involves shaping and directing the hair into S-shaped waves using the fingers, combs, and waving lotion. This technique does not require heat or wetting the hair, unlike thermal curling or wet setting. Ridge curling is not a commonly used term in hairstyling, and thermal waving specifically refers to using heat to create waves in the hair.

    A good waving lotion for finger waving is harmless to the hair and:

    • A. 

      Should be used liberally

    • B. 

      Dries on contact

    E. Does not flake when dry
    Explanation
    A good waving lotion for finger waving should not flake when dry because flaking can be unsightly and can also cause discomfort to the person. Flaking may indicate that the lotion is not properly formulated or that it is not suitable for the hair type. A lotion that does not flake when dry ensures that the hairstyle remains intact and looks neat and tidy.

      To the entire head after shampooing

    Correct Answer
    B. To one side of the head at a time
    Explanation
    Finger wave lotion should be applied to one side of the head at a time in order to achieve the desired style. This allows for better control and precision in creating the finger waves. Applying the lotion to one side at a time ensures that each wave is properly formed and the desired look is achieved.

    When finger waving, pinching or pushing ridges with the fingers will create:

    • A. 

      Overdirection of the ridge

    • B. 

      Inconsistent waves

    • C. 

      Tight curls

    • D. 

      Splits

    • E. 

      Underdirection of the ridge

    Correct Answer
    A. Overdirection of the ridge
    Explanation
    When finger waving, overdirecting the ridge means pushing or pinching the ridges in a direction opposite to their natural fall. This technique creates a wave pattern that extends beyond the natural hairline, resulting in an exaggerated wave or curl. Therefore, overdirection of the ridge is the correct answer as it accurately describes the outcome of manipulating the ridges in finger waving.

    The three main parts of a pin curl are the base, stem and:

    • A. 

      Curl

    • B. 

      Medulla

    • C. 

      Pinch

    • D.

    • E. 

      Wave

    Correct Answer
    D. Circle
    Explanation
    The three main parts of a pin curl are the base, stem, and circle. The base is the stationary foundation of the curl, the stem is the section of hair that is wrapped around the base, and the circle refers to the shape created by the wrapped hair. The circle is what gives the curl its rounded form and holds it in place.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The section of the pin curl between the base and the first arc is the:

    • A. 

      Stem

    • B. 

      Curl

    • C. 

      Circle

    • D. 

      Wave

    • E. 

      Neck

    Correct Answer
    A. Stem
    Explanation
    The section of the pin curl between the base and the first arc is referred to as the "stem." The stem is the straight portion of the curl that connects the base, where the curl is anchored, to the first arc, which forms the curl shape. This term is commonly used in hairstyling to describe the different parts of a pin curl and their specific functions.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    The stationary part of the pin curl is the:

    • A. 

      Circle

    • B. 

      Curl

    • C. 

      Stem

    • D. 

      Ridge

    • E. 

      Base

    Correct Answer
    E. Base
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "base". In pin curls, the base refers to the stationary part of the curl that is secured against the scalp. It acts as the foundation for the curl and provides stability. The base is usually formed by the hair that is closest to the scalp and is not wrapped around the curling tool. By anchoring the curl at the base, it ensures that the curl remains in place and maintains its desired shape.

    A tight, firm, long lasting curl is produced by the:

    • A. 

      Full-stem curl

    • B. 

      Mobile stem curl

    • C. 

      Half-stem curl

    • D. 

      No-stem curl

    • E. 

      Plant-stem curl

    Correct Answer
    D. No-stem curl
    Explanation
    A no-stem curl refers to a curl that is produced without the use of a stem. This means that the curl is created directly on the hair without any additional support or structure. Since there is no stem involved, the curl is able to be tight, firm, and long lasting.

    The greatest curl mobility is achieved with the:

    • A. 

      No-stem curl

    • B. 

      Quarter-turn curl

    • C. 

      Full-stem curl

    • D. 

      Skip-stem curl

    • E. 

      Half-stem curl

    Correct Answer
    C. Full-stem curl
    Explanation
    The full-stem curl achieves the greatest curl mobility because it allows for maximum control and manipulation of the hair. With a full stem, the curling iron can grip the hair securely, resulting in a tighter and more defined curl. This type of curl also provides more longevity as it holds its shape for a longer period of time. The other options, such as the no-stem, quarter-turn, skip-stem, and half-stem curls, may not provide the same level of control and hold, resulting in less curl mobility.

      Waves that decrease in size

    • E. 

      Volume

    Correct Answer
    B. Uniform curls
    Explanation
    Open center curls produce uniform curls. This means that when using open center curls, the resulting curls will be consistent in size and shape throughout the hair. Unlike other curling techniques that may create curls of varying sizes, open center curls ensure that the curls are evenly distributed and have a similar appearance. This technique is commonly used to achieve a polished and well-defined curly hairstyle.

    Pin curls that are good for fine hair and produce a fluffy curl are:

    • A. 

      Clockwise pin curls

    • B. 

      Open center curls

    • C. 

      Closed center curls

    • D. 

      Cascade curls

    • E. 

      Counterclockwise pin curls

    Correct Answer
    C. Closed center curls
    Explanation
    Closed center curls are good for fine hair and produce a fluffy curl because the hair is wrapped around the pin curl in a tight, closed loop. This creates more tension on the hair, resulting in a tighter and more defined curl. Additionally, the closed center helps to hold the curl in place for a longer period of time.

    The most common pin curl base you will use is the:

    • A. 

      First base

    • B. 

      Square base

    • C. 

      Rectangular base

    • D. 

      Arc base

    • E. 

      Triangular base

    Correct Answer
    D. Arc base
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "arc base." Pin curls are a common hairstyling technique where hair is wrapped around the fingers and secured with a pin. The base refers to the area of the scalp where the curl is anchored. The arc base is the most commonly used base for pin curls, as it creates a soft, rounded curl. The other options listed (first base, square base, rectangular base, triangular base) are not as commonly used or may refer to specific techniques or styles.

    Rollers are different from pin curls in several ways, one way being that they:

    • A. 

      Offer fewer creative possibilities

    • B. 

      Work the hair without tension

    • C. 

      Give a weaker set

    • D. 

      Give a stronger set

    • E. 

      Take longer to form

    Correct Answer
    D. Give a stronger set
    Explanation
    Rollers give a stronger set compared to pin curls. This means that when using rollers, the resulting curls or waves in the hair will be more defined and longer-lasting. This is because rollers apply more tension to the hair, creating a tighter and more secure curl. In contrast, pin curls may offer more creative possibilities but may not provide as strong of a set due to the lack of tension applied to the hair. Additionally, rollers may take longer to form as they require more time and effort to properly set in the hair.

    D. A wave
    Explanation
    When hair is wound 1 1/2 turns around a roller, it creates a wave. This is because the hair is partially wrapped around the roller, resulting in a looser curl pattern compared to if it was fully wrapped. The hair will have a gentle undulating shape, resembling a wave rather than tight curls or straight hair.

    The volume achieved in a hairstyle is determined by the size of the roller and:

    • A. 

      Time of day

    • B. 

      The anchoring clips used

    • C. 

      The direction of the curl

    • D. 

      The number of rollers used

    • E. 

      How it sits on its base

    Correct Answer
    E. How it sits on its base
    Explanation
    The volume achieved in a hairstyle is determined by how the hair sits on its base. This refers to the way the hair is positioned and secured on the roller or base. If the hair is wrapped tightly and secured properly, it will create more volume. On the other hand, if the hair is loosely wrapped or not secured well, it will result in less volume. The size of the roller, time of day, anchoring clips, direction of the curl, and number of rollers used may also play a role in achieving volume, but the most important factor is how the hair sits on its base.

      Full volume

    • E. 

      Straight hair

    Correct Answer
    D. Full volume
    Explanation
    An on-base roller curl produces full volume because when the hair is wrapped tightly around the roller from the base to the ends, it creates maximum lift and body. The roller's position at the base of the hair shaft allows for more space between the hair and the scalp, resulting in a fuller and more voluminous look. This technique is commonly used to achieve a glamorous and voluminous hairstyle.

    Explanation
    The off-base method is the correct answer for achieving the least amount of volume in a roller set. In this method, the hair is wrapped around the roller starting from the ends and not rolled all the way up to the scalp. By leaving the base flat, the volume at the roots is minimized, resulting in a flatter and smoother look. This technique is often used when creating sleek and polished hairstyles.

    A loose roller that is not properly secured to the head will result in:

    • A. 

      Larger curls

    • B. 

      A longer-lasting set

    • C. 

      Baldness

    • D. 

      A weak set

    • E. 

      Broken hair

    Correct Answer
    D. A weak set
    Explanation
    If a loose roller is not properly secured to the head, it will result in a weak set. This means that the curls created by the roller will not hold well and may easily unravel or lose their shape. This can be due to the lack of proper tension and stability in the roller, preventing it from effectively shaping the hair and providing a long-lasting set.

    Hot rollers and Velcro rollers are used:

    • A. 

      For minimum volume

    • B. 

      Only on short hair

    • C. 

      Only on dry hair

    • D. 

      For 30 minutes at a time

    • E. 

      Only on wet hair

    Correct Answer
    C. Only on dry hair
    Explanation
    Hot rollers and Velcro rollers are used only on dry hair because wet hair will not hold the shape created by the rollers. Wet hair is more prone to damage and breakage when heat is applied, so it is recommended to use these types of rollers on dry hair to achieve the desired volume and style. Using them on wet hair may result in a less effective or shorter-lasting result.

      Clogged

    • C.
