    This type of alopecia often occurs after the completion of a pregnancy :

    • Post-partum

    • Androgenic

    • Traction

    • Areate

    Correct Answer
    A. Post-partum
    Explanation
    Post-partum alopecia refers to hair loss that occurs after the completion of a pregnancy. It is a common condition that is believed to be caused by hormonal changes during pregnancy. During pregnancy, increased levels of estrogen prolong the growth phase of the hair, resulting in thicker and fuller hair. However, after giving birth, the hormone levels drop, causing the hair to enter a resting phase and eventually fall out. This type of alopecia is temporary and the hair typically regrows within a few months.

    When waxing, in what direction should the material strips be removed:

    • The direction of hair-growth

    • Opposite the direction of hair growth

    • Whit hard wax it does not matter

    • Whit soft wax it does not matter

    Correct Answer
    A. Opposite the direction of hair growth
    Explanation
    When waxing, it is recommended to remove the material strips in the opposite direction of hair growth. This helps to ensure that the hair is pulled out from the root, resulting in a smoother and longer-lasting result. Removing the strips in the direction of hair growth may not effectively remove the hair and could lead to a less satisfactory outcome. Using hard or soft wax does not affect the direction in which the material strips should be removed.

    Condition where the skin the nail splits, usually cause by dry skin condition, is  best treated whit:"

    • Pumice powder

    • Hot oil manicure

    • Weekly manicures

    • Visit to a physician

    Correct Answer
    A. Hot oil manicure
    Explanation
    The condition described in the question is when the skin around the nail splits, which is usually caused by dry skin. The best treatment for this condition is a hot oil manicure. This treatment helps to moisturize and nourish the skin, preventing it from drying out and splitting further. Pumice powder would not be effective in treating this condition as it is used for exfoliation, not moisturization.

    Type of bacteria that live matter and does produce disease:

    • Parasites/ pathogenic bacteria

    • Saprophytes/ non-pathogenic

    • Fungi

    • MRSA

    Correct Answer
    A. Parasites/ pathogenic bacteria
    Explanation
    The correct answer is parasites/ pathogenic bacteria. Parasites are organisms that live in or on another organism and obtain nutrients from it, often causing harm or disease. Pathogenic bacteria are bacteria that can cause disease in humans or animals. Both parasites and pathogenic bacteria can live on or inside living matter and are capable of producing disease. The other options, saprophytes and fungi, do not necessarily cause disease in the same way that parasites and pathogenic bacteria do. MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, is a specific strain of bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics, but it is not necessarily always pathogenic.

    • They are costly

    • Their abrasive base is to smooth

    • They are rough &abrasive

    • They are rough, abrasive, and the particles are too large

    Correct Answer
    A. They are rough, abrasive, and the particles are too large
    Explanation
    Body scrubs are not recommended for facial use because they are rough, abrasive, and the particles in the scrub are too large. The skin on the face is more delicate and sensitive compared to the rest of the body, so using a body scrub on the face can cause irritation, redness, and even micro-tears in the skin. It is important to use gentler exfoliating products specifically formulated for the face to avoid any damage to the skin.

    Shaving is an example of:

    • Epilation

    • Epilator

    • Depilation

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Depilation
    Explanation
    Shaving is an example of depilation because it involves the removal of hair from the surface of the skin. Depilation refers to the temporary removal of hair, usually by cutting or shaving, without removing the hair follicle. Epilation, on the other hand, involves the removal of the entire hair, including the root, such as through waxing or using an epilator. Therefore, shaving fits the definition of depilation rather than epilation or any other option.

    • In direction of hair-cgrowth

    • Opposite the direction of hair growth

    • Whit hard wax it does not matter

    • Whit soft wax it does not matter

    Correct Answer
    A. In direction of hair-cgrowth
    Explanation
    When waxing, the removal strips should be applied in the direction of hair growth.

By applying the strips in the direction of hair growth, it allows for a more effective and less painful hair removal process.
