Which of the following is/are true of removing tangles from the hair?
- A.
Start at lowest point of tangled area
- B.
Start at the scalp and progress toward the ends of hair
- C.
Use long, firm strokes
- D.

Correct Answer
A. Start at lowest point of tangled areaExplanation
When removing tangles from the hair, it is recommended to start at the lowest point of the tangled area. This is because starting from the lowest point allows for a more gentle and effective detangling process. If you start at the scalp and progress toward the ends of the hair, it may cause more pulling and discomfort. Using long, firm strokes can also help to minimize breakage and make the process smoother. Starting at the highest point of the tangled area would not be as effective as starting from the lowest point.Rate this question:
