    A. Tesla current
    Explanation
    Tesla current is a type of thermal or heat-producing current that has a high rate of oscillation. It is commonly used for scalp and facial treatments. Unlike direct current and alternating current, which are commonly used for other purposes, tesla current specifically focuses on producing heat and thermal effects on the scalp and face. Infrared current, on the other hand, is a different type of current that primarily focuses on producing infrared radiation for therapeutic purposes.

    Classic styling brushes having rows of round tipped nylon bristles should be:

    • Heat sensitive

    • Heat resisistant and antistatic

    • Heat resistant and narrow

    • Smooth surface

    Correct Answer
    A. Heat resisistant and antistatic
    Explanation
    Classic styling brushes with rows of round tipped nylon bristles should be heat resistant and antistatic. Heat resistant brushes are able to withstand the high temperatures of styling tools such as hair dryers and curling irons without melting or becoming damaged. Antistatic brushes are designed to reduce static electricity in the hair, preventing frizz and flyaways. Therefore, a heat resistant and antistatic brush is the best choice for styling hair effectively and safely.

    Chemical services performed on hair with low porosity require:

    • Neutral solutuions

    • More acidic solutions

    • More alkaline solutions

    • Water solutuions

    Correct Answer
    A. More alkaline solutions
    Explanation
    Hair with low porosity has tightly closed cuticles, making it difficult for moisture and chemicals to penetrate. More alkaline solutions have a higher pH level, which helps to open the cuticles and allow the chemicals to penetrate the hair shaft. This is why more alkaline solutions are required for chemical services on low porosity hair.

    A basic substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances without loss of identity is called:

    • A compound

    • Water

    • A molecule

    • An element

    Correct Answer
    A. An element
    Explanation
    An element is a basic substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances without losing its identity. Elements are made up of atoms of the same type and have distinct chemical and physical properties. Unlike compounds, which are made up of two or more different elements, elements exist in their pure form and cannot be further broken down into simpler substances. Therefore, an element is the correct answer to the question.

    Hydrogen chemical hair relaxers break disulfide bonds and during rinsing convert them to:

    • COHNS bonds

    • Protein bonds

    • Sebum bonds

    • Lanthionine bonds

    Correct Answer
    A. Lanthionine bonds
    Explanation
    Hydrogen chemical hair relaxers break disulfide bonds, which are responsible for the natural curl pattern of the hair. During rinsing, these broken disulfide bonds are converted to lanthionine bonds. Lanthionine bonds are formed when the sulfur atoms from two adjacent cysteine amino acids in the hair combine with the hydrogen atoms from the relaxer. These new bonds are weaker than disulfide bonds, resulting in a permanent straightening effect on the hair. Therefore, the correct answer is lanthionine bonds.
