    • Notching shears

    • Clippers

    • Cutting shears

    • Trimmers

    Correct Answer
    A. Clippers
    Explanation
    Clippers are electric or battery-operated tools that cut hair using two moving blades held in place by a metal plate with teeth. They are commonly used in hair salons and barber shops for cutting hair to a desired length. Clippers are designed to make quick and precise cuts, making them an essential tool for hairstylists. They are different from cutting shears, which are handheld scissors used for more detailed and precise cutting, and trimmers, which are used for trimming and shaping facial hair. Notching shears, on the other hand, are used for creating texture and removing bulk from the hair.

    To avoid the transfer of foundation onto a client's clothing, set the foundation using:

    • Translucent powder

    • Foundation creams

    • Blush powder

    • Light shades

    Correct Answer
    A. Translucent powder
    Explanation
    To avoid the transfer of foundation onto a client's clothing, it is recommended to set the foundation using translucent powder. Translucent powder is a colorless powder that helps to set the foundation in place and mattify the skin without adding any additional color. This powder helps to absorb excess oil and prevent the foundation from smudging or transferring onto clothing. By using translucent powder, the foundation will stay in place for longer and minimize the risk of staining or transferring onto the client's clothing.

    The application for chemical relaxers should be started in the most resistant area, usually the:

    • Back of head

    • Front hairline

    • Scalp area

    • Side area

    Correct Answer
    A. Back of head
    Explanation
    Chemical relaxers are used to straighten curly or wavy hair. The application process involves applying the relaxer to the hair, which breaks down the protein bonds and allows the hair to be reshaped. Starting the application in the most resistant area, which is usually the back of the head, ensures that this area, which is typically the curliest or most tightly coiled, receives the maximum amount of processing time. By starting at the back of the head, the relaxer has more time to work on the resistant hair, resulting in a more even and consistent straightening effect throughout the hair.
