    Wet hair with normal elasticity will stretch up to              of its original length

    Explanation
    Wet hair with normal elasticity can stretch up to 50% of its original length. This means that when wet, the hair can be stretched to half of its initial size without breaking or causing damage. This elasticity is due to the water molecules penetrating the hair shaft and temporarily changing its structure, making it more flexible and stretchable.

    Solutions that contain undissolved particles that are visible to the naked eye are know as?

    • A.

      Suspensions

    • B.

      Mixtures

    • C.

      Solutes

    • D.

      Emulsions

    Correct Answer
    A. Suspensions
    Explanation
    Suspensions are solutions that contain undissolved particles that are visible to the naked eye. In a suspension, the particles are usually larger and do not dissolve completely in the solvent. Instead, they remain suspended and can be seen floating or settling at the bottom of the solution. This is different from mixtures, which can be a combination of two or more substances that are evenly distributed, and solutes, which are substances that dissolve in a solvent. Emulsions, on the other hand, are mixtures of two or more immiscible substances, typically with one being dispersed as droplets in the other.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Chemically relaxed hair is more susceptible to damage and breakage, and using hot irons or excessive heat can further weaken the hair strands. Heat can strip the hair of its natural moisture, causing it to become dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. Therefore, it is important to avoid using hot irons or excessive heat on chemically relaxed hair to maintain its health and strength.

    What should you perform before a chemical relaxer?

    • A.

      Food allergy test

    • B.

      Hair and scalp analysis

    • C.

      Client consoltation

    • D.

      Both b and c

    Correct Answer
    D. Both b and c
    Explanation
    Before performing a chemical relaxer, it is important to conduct a hair and scalp analysis to determine the condition of the hair and scalp. This analysis helps in identifying any existing damage or issues that may affect the relaxer process. Additionally, a client consultation is necessary to understand the client's hair history, preferences, and expectations. This allows the stylist to assess the client's suitability for the relaxer treatment and discuss any potential risks or allergies. Therefore, both a hair and scalp analysis and a client consultation are essential steps to ensure a successful and safe chemical relaxer treatment.

    D. Desired results
    Explanation
    The processing time for a relaxer may vary depending on the hair type, condition, strength of the relaxer, and desired results. Different hair types may require different processing times to achieve the desired level of relaxation. The condition of the hair, such as its health and previous chemical treatments, can also affect the processing time. The strength of the relaxer refers to its potency, and a stronger relaxer may require a shorter processing time. Lastly, the desired results, such as the level of straightness or curl retention, can also influence the processing time.

    Hydroxide relaxers remove a sulfur atom from a disulfide bond converting it to a lanthonine bond

    • A.

      Lanthionization

    • B.

      Oxidation

    • C.

      Reduction

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Lanthionization
    Explanation
    Lanthionization is the correct answer because hydroxide relaxers, such as sodium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide, work by breaking the disulfide bonds in the hair. Disulfide bonds are responsible for the hair's natural curl or wave pattern. During the relaxing process, a sulfur atom is removed from the disulfide bond, converting it to a lanthonine bond. This chemical reaction permanently alters the hair's structure, allowing it to be straightened. Oxidation and reduction are not involved in this process.

    How can you remove dirt, oils and product residue from a thermal iron?

    • A.

      Ammonia and water

    • B.

      Water

    • C.

      Soap solution with a few drops of ammonia

    • D.

      Hand sanitizer

    Correct Answer
    C. Soap solution with a few drops of ammonia
    Explanation
    Soap solution with a few drops of ammonia is the correct answer because ammonia is an effective cleaning agent that can help remove dirt, oils, and product residue. When combined with a soap solution, it creates a powerful cleaning solution that can effectively clean a thermal iron. Water alone may not be sufficient to remove stubborn residue, while hand sanitizer is not specifically designed for cleaning thermal irons.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Makes it stationary and is attached to the scalp
    Explanation
    The stem part of a pincurl makes it stationary and is attached to the scalp. This means that the stem is responsible for holding the pincurl in place and preventing it from moving or unraveling. By being attached to the scalp, the stem ensures that the pincurl stays secure and maintains its shape. This allows for a more controlled and precise hairstyling technique.
