  • 2. 

    Hot wax depilatories usually contain beeswax and resin.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Hot wax depilatories typically contain beeswax and resin because these ingredients help the wax stick to the hair and skin, allowing for effective hair removal. Beeswax provides a sticky texture, while resin helps to create a firm and durable wax that can be easily applied and removed. These ingredients also contribute to the smooth and soft texture of the wax, making it easier to spread and remove hair without causing excessive pain or irritation.

    During the treatment you may have to adjust the temperature gauge on the wax heater to keep it at a constant heat.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    During a wax treatment, it is necessary to adjust the temperature gauge on the wax heater to maintain a constant heat. This is because the wax needs to be at a specific temperature in order to be effective and safe for use. If the temperature is too low, the wax may not melt properly and won't adhere to the hair. On the other hand, if the temperature is too high, it can cause burns or discomfort to the client. Therefore, adjusting the temperature gauge is crucial to ensure a successful and comfortable waxing experience.

    In women, the normal pattern of hair growth may change during the menopause when the balance of sex hormones is disturbed.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    During menopause, women experience a decrease in estrogen levels, which can disrupt the balance of sex hormones. This hormonal imbalance can lead to changes in the normal pattern of hair growth. As a result, women may notice changes such as thinning hair or increased hair loss during this time. Therefore, the statement that the normal pattern of hair growth may change during menopause when the balance of sex hormones is disturbed is true.

  • 5. 

    The skin of the face and body is not virtually covered by hair.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the skin of the face and body is actually covered by hair, although the amount and thickness of hair may vary from person to person. Hair follicles are present all over the body, including the face, and produce hair that grows out of the skin. While the hair on the face and body may be less noticeable or finer compared to the hair on the scalp, it is still present and covers the skin to some extent.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The wax strip must be removed swiftly in the direction of the hair growth.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The correct answer is False. The explanation for this is that the wax strip should actually be removed swiftly in the opposite direction of the hair growth. This helps to ensure that the hair is pulled out from the root, resulting in longer-lasting hair removal. Removing the strip in the direction of hair growth may not effectively remove the hair and could lead to a less satisfactory result.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Warm wax affects the hair the same way as hot wax.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Warm wax does not affect the hair in the same way as hot wax. Hot wax is heated to a higher temperature than warm wax, which allows it to adhere more strongly to the hair follicles and remove them more effectively. Warm wax, on the other hand, is not as effective in removing hair as it does not adhere as strongly to the hair follicles. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Catagen is the active growing stage which may last from a few months up to several years.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Catagen is actually the transitional stage of the hair growth cycle, not the active growing stage. It typically lasts for a few weeks to a few months, not several years. Therefore, the given statement is false.
