When using chemical relaxer, it changes the shape of the hair by breaking down which of the following
- A.
Disulfide bonds
- B.
Keratin proteins
- C.
Peptide bonds

By smoothing down the ledge, the technician can create a seamless transition between the existing product and the newly applied product, resulting in a more polished and professional appearance. This step is crucial for achieving a flawless and long-lasting acrylic maintenance.Rate this question:

Which product would help skin pigmentation blend better
- A.
Heavy talc concealer
- B.
Matte colored concealer
- C.
Concealer closely matched
- D.
Concealer with lots of moisturizer
Correct Answer
C. Concealer closely matchedExplanation
The concealer closely matched to the skin tone would help blend skin pigmentation better. This is because using a concealer that closely matches the skin color helps to even out the pigmentation and create a more natural and seamless look. Using a concealer that is too heavy or matte colored may create a stark contrast and make the pigmentation more noticeable. Additionally, a concealer with lots of moisturizer may not necessarily help with blending pigmentation, as the main focus should be on finding a shade that closely matches the skin tone.Rate this question:

- A.
How long the product would have contact on the skin
- B.
To legally require companies to share information on their products
- C.
The frequency of product use
- D.
The effects on different types of immune systems
Correct Answer
B. To legally require companies to share information on their productsExplanation
The correct answer is "to legally require companies to share information on their products." This is because the passage states that the cosmetic products in the salon are a concern to the FDA, but it does not mention anything about legally requiring companies to share information on their products. The other options are mentioned in the passage as factors that the FDA is concerned about regarding cosmetic products in salons.Rate this question:
