The process of shaping and directing the hair into a pattern of S-shaped waves with the fingers, combs and waving lotion is called:
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.
2.
Waving lotion is a type of hair gel used during finger waving to keep the hair:
Correct Answer
C. Pilable
Explanation
Waving lotion is a specific type of hair gel that is used during finger waving techniques. The purpose of waving lotion is to keep the hair pliable, which means it makes the hair flexible and easy to mold into waves using the fingers. This is why the correct answer is "pilable".

A good waving lotion for finger waving is harmless to the hair and:
Correct Answer
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.
4.
Finger wave lotion should be applied:
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.
5.
When finger waving, pinching or pushing ridges with the fingers will create:
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:
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.
7.
The section of the pin curl between the base and the first arc is the:
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.
8.
The stationary part of the pin curl is the:
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.
9.
A tight, firm, long lasting curl is produced by the:
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.
10.
The greatest curl mobility is achieved with the:
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.
11.

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.
13.
Pin curls that are good for fine hair and produce a fluffy curl are:
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.
14.
The most common pin curl base you will use is the:
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.
15.
In a pin curl set, the finished curl is not affected by the:
Correct Answer
C. Shape of the base
Explanation
The shape of the base does not affect the finished curl in a pin curl set. The base refers to the section of hair that is wrapped around the finger before being pinned to the scalp. The shape of the base can vary, such as flat, square, triangular, or rectangular. However, regardless of the shape chosen, it does not impact the final outcome of the curl. Other factors, such as the size of the curl, color of the hair, amount of hair used, and direction of the curl, may affect the finished result.

17.
Pin curl bases suitable for curly hairstyles without much volume or lift are the:
Correct Answer
B. Square bases
Explanation
Square bases are suitable for curly hairstyles without much volume or lift because they create a tighter and more compact curl. The square shape allows the hair to be wrapped around the base in a uniform manner, resulting in defined and controlled curls. This type of base is ideal for achieving a polished and sleek look with minimal volume.
18.
An important technique to use when making pin curls is:
Correct Answer
A. Ribboning
Explanation
Ribboning is an important technique used when making pin curls. It involves gently combing the hair with a comb or fingers in a ribbon-like motion before wrapping it around the curling tool. This technique helps to create smooth and defined curls by ensuring that the hair is evenly distributed and wrapped around the curler. It also helps to prevent tangles and ensures that the curls are uniform in size and shape.
19.
Pin curls sliced from a shaping and formed without liftingthe hair from the head are called:
Correct Answer
D. Carved curls
Explanation
Carved curls are pin curls that are sliced from a shaping and formed without lifting the hair from the head. This technique creates a more sculpted and defined curl pattern, giving the hair a carved appearance. Unlike cascade or stand-up curls, flat curls, fat curls, or barrel curls, carved curls involve a specific method of shaping the hair without lifting it, resulting in a unique and distinct curl style.
20.
Pin curls are correctly anchored when:
Correct Answer
C. The clip enters at the open end
Explanation
When anchoring pin curls, the clip should be inserted at the open end of the curl. This ensures that the clip holds the hair securely in place and prevents the curl from unraveling. Inserting the clip at the open end allows it to grip the hair tightly and keep the curl intact.
21.
Curls used to create a wave behind a ridge are called:
Correct Answer
B. Ridge curls
Explanation
Ridge curls are the correct answer because they refer to the curls that are created behind a ridge.

Using a rectangular base allows for better control and stability when styling the hair, ensuring that the curls stay in place for a longer period of time.
25.
A roller holds the equivalent of:
Correct Answer
E. Two to four stand-up curls
Explanation
The roller holds the equivalent of two to four stand-up curls. This means that the amount of hair that can be rolled onto the roller is between two and four times the amount of hair that can be held in a stand-up curl.
26.
Rollers are different from pin curls in several ways, one way being that they:
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.
27.
The panel of hair on which the roller is placed is called the:
Correct Answer
B. Base
Explanation
The panel of hair on which the roller is placed is called the "base". The base is the foundation of a hairstyle and provides support for the roller, allowing it to create the desired curl or wave in the hair. It is an essential element in achieving the desired hairstyle and ensuring that the roller stays in place securely.
28.
The hair between the scalp and the first turn of the roller is:
Correct Answer
D. Stem
Explanation
The hair between the scalp and the first turn of the roller is referred to as the "stem." This term is commonly used in hairstyling to describe the section of hair that is closest to the scalp and is wrapped around a roller or curling iron. The stem is the starting point for creating a curl or wave in the hair, as it is the section that is heated or manipulated to achieve the desired style.
29.
The part of the roller curl that determines the size of the wave or curl is the:
Correct Answer
C. Circle or curl
Explanation
The circle or curl of the roller determines the size of the wave or curl. This means that the shape and size of the roller will directly affect the outcome of the hairstyle. Different sizes of circles or curls will create different types of waves or curls in the hair.
30.
If hair is wound 1 1/2 turns around a roller, it will create:
Correct Answer
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.
31.
A C shape will result if the hair is wound around the roller:
Correct Answer
B. One turn
Explanation
If the hair is wound around the roller only once, it will create a C shape. This is because a single turn will not create a full loop or coil, but rather a partial curve resembling the letter C.
32.
The volume achieved in a hairstyle is determined by the size of the roller and:
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.
33.
An on-base roller curl produces:
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.
34.
For the least amount of volume in a roller set, use the:
Correct Answer
B. Off-base method
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.
35.
A loose roller that is not properly secured to the head will result in:
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.
36.
Hot rollers and Velcro rollers are used:
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.
