    Under-processing is caused by

    • Insufficient processing time

    • Wrong choice of waving lotion

    • Improper wrapping

    • Adding water to waving lotion

    Correct Answer
    A. Insufficient processing time
    Explanation
    Insufficient processing time can cause under-processing. This means that the hair is not left in the waving lotion for a long enough period to properly process and set the desired wave or curl. This can result in the hair not achieving the desired texture or style, and may lead to the waves or curls not lasting as long as intended.

    • Gray hair

    • Tinted hair

    • Scalp abrasions

    • Dandruff

    Correct Answer
    A. Scalp abrasions
    Explanation
    Performing a permanent wave on a client with scalp abrasions can cause further irritation and discomfort. The chemicals used in the process may aggravate the already sensitive and damaged skin, leading to more pain and potential complications. It is important to prioritize the client's health and safety, and therefore, avoiding a permanent wave in such cases is the best course of action.

    Explanation
    Manicuring implements must be disinfected or discarded after every service to maintain proper hygiene and prevent the spread of infections. After each service, the implements come into contact with various bacteria, fungi, and viruses, making them potential sources of contamination. By disinfecting or discarding them after every service, the risk of transmitting infections from one client to another is minimized, ensuring a safe and clean environment for everyone.

    Texturizing is also referred to as

    • Thinning

    • Cross-checking

    • Sectioning

    • Parting

    Correct Answer
    A. Thinning
    Explanation
    Texturizing is a technique used in hair cutting to remove bulk and create texture in the hair. Thinning is the term commonly used to describe this technique, where the hair is strategically thinned out to reduce its density and create a softer, more textured look. Cross-checking, sectioning, and parting are all different techniques or processes used in hair cutting, but they are not specifically synonymous with texturizing.

    • Above the eyebrows

    • At the nape

    • Under/by the client's left ear

    • Under/by the client's right ear

    Correct Answer
    A. At the nape
    Explanation
    The first cut is made at the nape when low-elevation haircutting with shears. This is because the nape is the lowest point on the head and cutting the hair at this point helps to establish the desired length and shape for the haircut.

    Hair is primarily composed of

    • Keratin

    • Trace minerals

    • Protons

    • Electrons

    Correct Answer
    A. Keratin
    Explanation
    Hair is primarily composed of keratin, a protein that is also found in the outer layer of our skin and nails. Keratin provides strength and structure to hair strands, making them resilient and flexible. It is produced by specialized cells in the hair follicles called keratinocytes. Trace minerals, protons, and electrons are not the main components of hair and do not play a significant role in its composition.

    When retouching a client's hair with a sodium hydroxide relaxer, you should

    • Relax the entire head again

    • Relax only the curliest part of the hair

    • Wait at least 6 months between treatments

    • Relax the new growth only

    Correct Answer
    A. Relax the new growth only
    Explanation
    When retouching a client's hair with a sodium hydroxide relaxer, you should relax the new growth only. This is because sodium hydroxide relaxers are strong chemical treatments that break down the protein structure of the hair, making it straight. Applying the relaxer to the entire head again can lead to over-processing and damage the previously relaxed hair. Relaxing only the curliest part of the hair may result in an uneven texture. Waiting at least 6 months between treatments is not necessary for a retouch, as it is usually done every 8-12 weeks to maintain the straightened hair. Therefore, the best approach is to relax only the new growth to achieve consistent results without causing unnecessary damage.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    In order the raise a client's head so you can shampoo the back of the head, you should

    • Ask the client to support his/her head

    • Ask the client to turn around

    • Support the client's head with your hand

    • Ask another stylist to support the client's head

    Correct Answer
    A. Support the client's head with your hand
    Explanation
    To shampoo the back of the client's head, it is necessary to support their head with your hand. This ensures that the client's head remains stable and in the desired position throughout the shampooing process. Asking the client to support their own head may not provide enough stability, and asking them to turn around would not be an effective solution for accessing the back of their head. Asking another stylist to support the client's head may not be necessary if you are able to do so yourself.

    A. Add volume to a hairstyle
    Explanation
    Backcombing is a hairstyling technique that involves combing the hair against its natural direction, towards the roots, in order to create volume. By backcombing the hair, the strands are lifted and separated, which gives the appearance of fuller and thicker hair. This technique is commonly used to add volume to hairstyles, especially for those with fine or thin hair. It is not used to remove tangles, hide roots, or smooth out curl patterns.

    The relaxer cream is applied near the scalp last because processing is accelerated in this area by

    • Your speed in application

    • The sebaceous glands

    • Body heat

    • Perspiration

    Correct Answer
    A. Body heat
    Explanation
    The relaxer cream is applied near the scalp last because body heat accelerates the processing of the cream in this area. The scalp naturally generates heat, which helps in activating the chemicals present in the relaxer cream. By applying the cream near the scalp last, it allows the body heat to work on the hair strands for a longer duration, ensuring that the relaxer is evenly distributed and provides the desired results.

    Which face shape looks good with almost any hairstyle?

    • Round

    • Square

    • Oval

    • Oblong

    Correct Answer
    A. Oval
    Explanation
    Oval face shape looks good with almost any hairstyle because it is considered to be the most versatile face shape. It has balanced proportions with slightly wider cheekbones and a gentle narrowing towards the forehead and jawline. This balanced symmetry allows for a wide range of hairstyles to complement the face shape. Hairstyles that add volume on the sides or create soft layers can enhance the natural symmetry of an oval face shape. Additionally, oval faces can also pull off both short and long hairstyles effortlessly.

    Whichh is the quickest way to lighten hair?

    • Tint remover

    • Oil bleach

    • Powder or paste bleach

    • Pre-softener

    Correct Answer
    A. Powder or paste bleach
    Explanation
    Powder or paste bleach is the quickest way to lighten hair. Bleaching agents in powder or paste form contain high concentrations of chemicals like hydrogen peroxide, which effectively strip the hair of its natural color. These bleaching agents work by breaking down the melanin pigment in the hair shaft, causing it to lighten. Compared to other options like tint remover, oil bleach, or pre-softener, powder or paste bleach is known for its fast and efficient lightening results.

    Rate this question:

  • 29. 

    Before lightening a client's hair, you should do all of the following EXCEPT

    • Perform a strand test

    • Analyze the hair and scalp

    • Brush the hair vigorously

    • Put protective cream around the neckline

    Correct Answer
    A. Brush the hair vigorously
    Explanation
    Before lightening a client's hair, it is important to perform a strand test to determine the desired outcome and assess the hair's reaction to the lightening process. Analyzing the hair and scalp helps to identify any potential issues or sensitivities that may affect the lightening process. Putting protective cream around the neckline helps to prevent the lightening product from coming into contact with the skin and causing irritation or burns. However, brushing the hair vigorously is not necessary and can potentially damage the hair, especially if it is already fragile or weakened. Therefore, brushing the hair vigorously is not recommended before lightening a client's hair.

  • 30. 

    How do you determine which products to use for a facial?

    • Analyze the client's skin

    • Ask the client what he/she prefers

    • Review the ingredients lists of the products supplied by your salon

    • Review the client's treatment history

    Correct Answer
    A. Analyze the client's skin
    Explanation
    To determine which products to use for a facial, it is important to analyze the client's skin. This involves assessing the client's skin type, concerns, and any specific conditions they may have. By analyzing the client's skin, a professional can tailor the facial treatment to address their unique needs and provide the most effective and suitable products. This ensures that the client receives personalized care and achieves the desired results from the facial treatment.

    You should apply waving lotion to the

    • Top of each rod only

    • Top and bottom of each rod

    • Area between the rods

    • Top hairline and allow it to drip down

    Correct Answer
    A. Top and bottom of each rod
    Explanation
    To achieve the desired outcome, it is necessary to apply waving lotion to both the top and bottom of each rod. This ensures that the entire hair strand is evenly coated with the waving lotion, allowing for a consistent and uniform wave pattern. Applying the lotion only to the top of each rod may result in an uneven distribution of the product and an inconsistent wave formation.

    Rate this question:

  • 32. 

    Which statement about hair lightening is CORRECT?

    • Very dark hair may be damaged by extreme lightening

    • Hair lighteners are used as preliminary treatments, never by themselves

    • Lighteners are not effective in removing undesirable off-shades

    • Lightening has no effect on hair's porosity

    Correct Answer
    A. Very dark hair may be damaged by extreme lightening
    Explanation
    Very dark hair may be damaged by extreme lightening because the process of lightening involves removing the natural pigment from the hair shaft. The darker the hair, the more pigment needs to be lifted, which can cause damage if not done correctly. Extreme lightening refers to using high levels of bleach or strong lightening agents, which can cause the hair to become brittle, dry, and prone to breakage. Therefore, it is important to take caution when lightening very dark hair to minimize the risk of damage.

    When you chemically relax a client's hair with a "no base" relaxer, you should always

    • Apply a protective cream to the entire scalp

    • Apply a protective cream to the hairline and ears

    • Make sure the hair is wet before beginning the procedure

    • Part the hair into no more than three sections

    Correct Answer
    A. Apply a protective cream to the hairline and ears
    Explanation
    When chemically relaxing a client's hair with a "no base" relaxer, it is important to apply a protective cream to the hairline and ears. This is because the relaxer can be harsh on the skin and may cause irritation or burns. By applying a protective cream to these areas, it creates a barrier between the relaxer and the skin, reducing the risk of any adverse reactions. Additionally, it helps to prevent the relaxer from dripping onto the skin during the application process, further protecting the client's sensitive areas.

    Rate this question:

  • 34. 

    What should you put on resistant hair before you apply permanent color?

    • Pre-softener

    • Cream bleach

    • Oil bleach

    • Water

    Correct Answer
    A. Pre-softener
    Explanation
    Before applying permanent color to resistant hair, it is recommended to use a pre-softener. This product helps to prepare the hair by softening the cuticle and making it more receptive to the color treatment. By using a pre-softener, the color can penetrate the hair more effectively, resulting in better color coverage and longevity.

    The method of cleaning instruments that kills all microorganisms including bacterial spores is

    • Decontamination

    • Sanitation

    • Sterilization

    • Washing

    Correct Answer
    A. Sterilization
    Explanation
    Sterilization is the correct answer because it is the method of cleaning instruments that kills all microorganisms, including bacterial spores. Decontamination refers to the process of removing or reducing the number of contaminants, but it may not necessarily kill all microorganisms. Sanitation generally refers to the process of maintaining cleanliness and hygiene, but it may not eliminate all microorganisms. Washing is a basic cleaning method that may not necessarily kill all microorganisms. Therefore, sterilization is the most appropriate method for complete elimination of microorganisms.

    The action of sodium hydroxide relaxer causes the hair to

    • Soften and swell

    • Expand and harden

    • Harden and set

    • Shrink

    Correct Answer
    A. Soften and swell
    Explanation
    When sodium hydroxide relaxer is applied to the hair, it causes the hair to soften and swell. This is because sodium hydroxide is a strong alkaline compound that breaks down the protein bonds in the hair, allowing it to become more pliable and easier to manipulate. The swelling of the hair shaft also helps to loosen the curl pattern and straighten the hair. Therefore, the correct answer is "soften and swell".

    Hot oil manicures are partially effective on

    • Soft nails

    • Diseased nails

    • Brittle nails

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    Hot oil manicures are partially effective on brittle nails because the heat from the oil helps to moisturize and strengthen the nails, making them less prone to breakage and splitting. The hot oil also helps to improve blood circulation to the nail bed, promoting healthier nail growth. However, hot oil manicures may not be as effective for soft or diseased nails, as these conditions require different treatments and care. Therefore, the correct answer is brittle nails.

    After rinsing the waving lotion from the hair, you should

    • Apply the neutralizer

    • Blow dry the hair

    • Set and style the hair

    • Blot off excess water

    Correct Answer
    A. Blot off excess water
    Explanation
    After rinsing the waving lotion from the hair, it is important to blot off excess water. This is because excess water can dilute the neutralizer, affecting its effectiveness. Blotting off the excess water ensures that the neutralizer can properly react with the hair, resulting in a successful waving process. Additionally, blotting off excess water helps in achieving the desired hairstyle and prevents excessive dripping during the subsequent steps of blow drying, setting, and styling the hair.

    Processing for a waving lotion depends on the hair's

    • Porosity and texture

    • Texture and elasticity

    • Elasticity and density

    • Density and length

    Correct Answer
    A. Porosity and texture

    The correct answer is porosity and texture. When processing a waving lotion, it is important to consider the hair's porosity and texture. Porosity refers to the hair's ability to absorb and retain moisture, while texture refers to the hair's overall feel and structure. These factors play a crucial role in determining how the hair will react to the waving lotion and how long the results will last. By considering the hair's porosity and texture, the stylist can ensure that the waving lotion is applied correctly and that the desired outcome is achieved.

    Which bonds are individually very weak?

    • Hydrogen

    • Salt

    • Disulfide

    • Both A and B

    Correct Answer
    A. Both A and B
    Explanation
    Both hydrogen bonds and salt bonds are individually very weak. Hydrogen bonds occur when a hydrogen atom is attracted to an electronegative atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen. These bonds are weaker than covalent or ionic bonds. Salt bonds, also known as ionic bonds, occur when there is an electrostatic attraction between positively and negatively charged ions. These bonds are also weaker than covalent bonds. Therefore, both A (hydrogen bonds) and B (salt bonds) are individually very weak bonds.

Additionally, texturizing can create visual texture by adding dimension and movement to the hair. It can also create fullness and mobility, making the hair appear thicker and more voluminous. Therefore, the correct answer is "all of the above."
