    Explanation
    The correct answer is "resistance of an organism to infection or disease." Immunity refers to the ability of an organism to resist or defend against harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites, that can cause infections or diseases. It involves the body's immune system recognizing and responding to these pathogens, either by destroying them or preventing their harmful effects. Immunity can be acquired naturally through previous exposure to a pathogen or artificially through vaccinations. This resistance is crucial in maintaining good health and preventing the spread of infectious diseases.

    Which of the following is the next step that occurs after the scalp has been thoroughly shampooed

    • Style hair

    • Drape client

    • Condition hair

    • Massage scalp

    Correct Answer
    A. Condition hair
    Explanation
    After the scalp has been thoroughly shampooed, the next step is to condition the hair. Conditioning the hair helps to restore moisture, improve manageability, and add shine to the hair. It also helps to detangle the hair and make it easier to style. Conditioning is an important step in the haircare routine as it nourishes and strengthens the hair, leaving it soft and healthy.

  • 8. 

    When using relaxers incorrectly, which of the following could happen

    • The hair becomes coarse

    • The hair becomes curly

    • The hair changes color

    • The hair melts

    Correct Answer
    A. The hair melts
    Explanation
    When using relaxers incorrectly, the hair can become damaged and the chemical composition of the hair can be altered. This can lead to the hair becoming weak and brittle, causing it to melt under the excessive heat or chemical reaction. Using relaxers incorrectly can result in severe hair damage and should be avoided to maintain the health and integrity of the hair.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    When using chemical relaxer, it changes the shape of the hair by breaking down which of the following 

    • Disulfide bonds

    • Keratin proteins

    • Peptide bonds

    • Ph balance

    Correct Answer
    A. Disulfide bonds
    Explanation
    Chemical relaxers work by breaking down the disulfide bonds in the hair. Disulfide bonds are strong bonds that hold the protein structure of the hair together, giving it its shape. By breaking these bonds, the relaxer allows the hair to be reshaped and straightened. Keratin proteins are the main component of hair, but they are not directly affected by the relaxer. Peptide bonds are also important for hair structure, but they are not specifically targeted by relaxers. pH balance refers to the acidity or alkalinity of a substance and is not directly related to the process of using a chemical relaxer.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which of the following refers to hair elasticity

    • Ability of the hair to absorb moisture

    • Stretchability and strength of the hair

    • Number of individual strands in a square inch

    • Thickness or diameter of an individual strand

    Correct Answer
    A. Stretchability and strength of the hair
    Explanation
    The term "hair elasticity" refers to the ability of the hair to stretch and return to its original shape without breaking. This is closely related to the hair's strength, as stronger hair is generally more elastic. Therefore, the answer "stretchability and strength of the hair" accurately describes hair elasticity. The other options, such as the ability to absorb moisture, the number of strands in a square inch, and the thickness of an individual strand, do not directly pertain to hair elasticity.

    Which is the best hairstyle for the round facial type

    • Keep hair fairly close to the top of the head and add volume to the sides

    • Create height or volume on top and no volume at the sides

    • Volume at the temples and some height at the top

    • Create volume between the temples and width around the ear area

    Correct Answer
    A. Create height or volume on top and no volume at the sides
    Explanation
    The best hairstyle for a round facial type is to create height or volume on top and no volume at the sides. This helps to elongate the face and create the illusion of a more oval shape. By adding height or volume on top, it draws attention upwards and away from the roundness of the face. Avoiding volume at the sides prevents the face from appearing wider. Overall, this hairstyle helps to balance and flatter the features of a round face.

    Which of the following is the most common form of temporary hair removal

    • Depilatories

    • Electrolysis

    • Photoepilation

    • Shaving

    Correct Answer
    A. Shaving
    Explanation
    Shaving is the most common form of temporary hair removal because it is quick, easy, and widely accessible. It involves using a razor or electric shaver to cut the hair off at the skin's surface. Shaving is a popular choice for many people as it provides immediate results and does not require any special skills or equipment. Additionally, shaving is painless and can be done on various parts of the body. However, the effects of shaving are temporary, and hair will grow back within a few days or weeks.

  • 17. 

    Which is the general outline of a hairstyle

    • Design

    • Form

    • Line

    Correct Answer
    A. Form
    Explanation
    Form refers to the overall shape and structure of a hairstyle. It encompasses the arrangement and organization of the hair, including its volume, texture, and silhouette. The general outline of a hairstyle is its form, which can be created through various techniques such as cutting, styling, and manipulating the hair. Form is an essential element in hairstyling as it determines the overall look and aesthetic of the hairstyle.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Which product would help skin pigmentation blend better

    • Heavy talc concealer

    • Matte colored concealer

    • Concealer closely matched

    • Concealer with lots of moisturizer

    Correct Answer
    A. Concealer closely matched
    Explanation
    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:

  • 19. 

    Which of the following is used to make artificial eyelashes adhere, or stick to the natural lash line

    • Strip lashes

    • Eye tabbing

    • Band lashes

    • Lash adhesive

    Correct Answer
    A. Lash adhesive
    Explanation
    Lash adhesive is used to make artificial eyelashes adhere or stick to the natural lash line. It is a special type of glue that is designed specifically for this purpose. When applied correctly, lash adhesive creates a strong bond between the artificial lashes and the natural lashes, ensuring that the lashes stay in place for an extended period of time. This allows individuals to achieve a fuller and more dramatic look with their eyelashes.

    The stylist objective is to create the illusion of which facial shape

    • Oblong

    • Oval

    • Round

    • Triangular

    Correct Answer
    A. Oval
    Explanation
    The stylist's objective is to create the illusion of an oval facial shape. This means that the stylist will use techniques such as hairstyles, makeup, and contouring to make the face appear more oval-shaped, which is considered to be the most balanced and symmetrical facial shape. By using these techniques, the stylist can enhance the client's features and create a more harmonious overall look.

    Technical term for gray hair

    • Canities

    • Monilethrix

    • Trichoptilosis

    • Hypertrichosis

    Correct Answer
    A. Canities
    Explanation
    Canities is the correct answer because it is the technical term used to describe the condition of having gray hair. It refers to the natural graying of hair due to the loss of pigment melanin. The other options, monilethrix, trichoptilosis, and hypertrichosis, are not related to gray hair but instead refer to different hair conditions such as a rare genetic disorder causing hair fragility, split ends, and excessive hair growth respectively.

    All of the following require the use of gloves except

    • Virgin lightner

    • Plain manicure

    • Chemical relaxer

    • Eyebrow hair removal

    Correct Answer
    A. Plain manicure
    Explanation
    The correct answer is plain manicure because it does not involve any chemicals or potentially harmful substances that would require the use of gloves for protection. Virgin lightner, chemical relaxer, and eyebrow hair removal all involve the use of chemicals or procedures that could potentially irritate or harm the skin, so gloves would be necessary to protect the hands.

    Sterilization is the ONLY type of cleaning that will kill which of the following

    • Bacterial spores

    • Fungi

    • Tuberculosis

    • Viruses

    Correct Answer
    A. Bacterial spores
    Explanation
    Sterilization is the only type of cleaning that can effectively kill bacterial spores. Bacterial spores are highly resistant structures formed by certain bacteria as a means of survival under unfavorable conditions. They have a tough outer layer that protects them from heat, chemicals, and other disinfection methods. Sterilization, which involves the use of extreme heat, pressure, or chemicals, is the most effective way to destroy bacterial spores and ensure complete elimination of any potential bacterial contamination. Other types of cleaning methods like disinfection or sanitization may not be sufficient to kill bacterial spores.

    Which of the following is used to remove bonded wefts from the hair

    • Conditioner

    • Hairspray

    • Oil

    • Shampoo

    Correct Answer
    A. Oil
    Explanation
    Oil is used to remove bonded wefts from the hair. Oil helps to loosen the bonds and makes it easier to remove the wefts without causing damage to the hair. It acts as a lubricant, allowing the wefts to slide out smoothly. Conditioner, hairspray, and shampoo do not have the same effect as oil in removing bonded wefts.

    • A wooden pusher

    Correct Answer
    A. A wooden pusher
    Explanation
    A wooden pusher is not considered a multi-use manicure implement because it is primarily used for pushing back cuticles during a manicure or pedicure. On the other hand, nail clippers, nippers, and tweezers can be used for various purposes in manicures, such as trimming nails, removing hangnails, or shaping eyebrows.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    When analyzing the hair before a chemical relaxer, it is necessary to evaluate the hair for all of the following except

    • Color

    • Elasticity

    • Porosity

    • Texture

    Correct Answer
    A. Color
    Explanation
    When analyzing the hair before a chemical relaxer, it is necessary to evaluate the hair for elasticity, porosity, and texture. However, the color of the hair does not affect the process of applying a chemical relaxer. The color of the hair is unrelated to its ability to withstand the relaxer or its reaction to the chemicals used. Therefore, color is not a factor that needs to be considered when analyzing the hair before a chemical relaxer.

    Which type of shampoo contains an active agent that binds to metals and removes them from the hair

    • Balancing shampoo

    • Clarifying shampoo

    • Medicated shampoo

    • Ph balanced shampoo

    Correct Answer
    A. Clarifying shampoo
    Explanation
    A clarifying shampoo contains an active agent that binds to metals and removes them from the hair. This type of shampoo is specifically designed to deep cleanse the hair and remove any build-up, including minerals and metals that may accumulate over time. Regular shampoos may not be effective in removing these impurities, but clarifying shampoos are formulated with stronger ingredients to provide a thorough cleanse and leave the hair feeling clean and refreshed.

    • 8

    • 9

    Correct Answer
    A. 9
    Explanation
    When performing a basic permanent wrap, the hair should be divided into 9 panels. This is because dividing the hair into multiple panels helps to ensure even distribution of the perm solution and creates more natural-looking curls. Each panel allows for better control and precision during the wrapping process, resulting in a more uniform and long-lasting perm.

    Which is the first step if you get blood or other potentially infectious materials in your eyes, nose, mouth, or on broken skin

    • Use skin disinfectants

    • Clean wound with soap and water

    • Seek immediate medical attention

    • Immediately flood the exposed area with water

    Correct Answer
    A. Immediately flood the exposed area with water
    Explanation
    When blood or other potentially infectious materials come into contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, or broken skin, the first step is to immediately flood the exposed area with water. This is important because it helps to flush out any potentially harmful substances and reduce the risk of infection. It is crucial to act quickly to minimize the potential harm caused by these materials. Seeking immediate medical attention is also important, but flooding the exposed area with water should be the first step.

    Rate this question:

  • 35. 

    Which product would you use to prevent polish from staining the nail bed

    • Acetone

    • Astringent

    • Base coat

    • Isopropyl alcohol

    Correct Answer
    A. Base coat
    Explanation
    A base coat is a product that is applied to the nails before applying nail polish. Its purpose is to create a barrier between the nail bed and the polish, preventing staining. By using a base coat, the nails are protected from the pigments and chemicals present in the polish, ensuring that the natural color of the nail bed is not affected. Acetone, astringent, and isopropyl alcohol are not specifically designed for this purpose and do not provide the same level of protection as a base coat.

    Rate this question:

    Which of the following should ALWAYS be done during a proper cross-checking?

    • Cross-check in front

    • Cross-check using horizontal partings

    • Cross-check against guideline

    • Cross-check opposite of cut partings

    Correct Answer
    A. Cross-check opposite of cut partings
    Explanation
    During a proper cross-checking, it is essential to cross-check opposite of cut partings. This means examining the hair sections that are on the opposite side of the original partings made during the haircut. This technique allows the stylist to ensure that the hair has been cut evenly and symmetrically on both sides. By cross-checking opposite of cut partings, any discrepancies or unevenness in the haircut can be identified and corrected, resulting in a more precise and balanced hairstyle.

    Which of the following hair conditions resists color

    • Low porosity

    • Small-diameter

    • Medium-textured

    • Chemically relaxed

    Correct Answer
    A. Low porosity
    Explanation
    Low porosity hair has a tightly packed cuticle layer that makes it difficult for color molecules to penetrate and bond with the hair shaft. This resistance to color can result in uneven or ineffective dyeing, as the color may not be able to fully penetrate the hair. Therefore, low porosity hair is more likely to resist color compared to hair with higher porosity levels.

    • Brush out style

    • Firm styling lotion

    • Proper curl placement

    Which of the following is MOST reccomended for use by a new cutter to remove excess bulk

    • Chunking shears

    • Thinning shears

    • Texturizing shears

    • Swivel shears

    Correct Answer
    A. Thinning shears
    Explanation
    Thinning shears are the most recommended tool for a new cutter to remove excess bulk. Thinning shears have teeth on one or both blades, which helps to remove bulk by cutting some of the hair while leaving some strands longer. This technique creates texture and reduces the weight of the hair. Chunking shears are used to create chunky, bold cuts, while texturizing shears are used to add texture and soften the ends. Swivel shears have a rotating thumb handle for ergonomic purposes, but they do not specifically address the issue of removing excess bulk.
