    The process of removing hair at the surface of the skin 

    • Waxing

    • Epilation

    • Depilation

    • Electrolysis

    Correct Answer
    A. Depilation
    Explanation
    Depilation refers to the process of removing hair at the surface of the skin. It involves removing hair from the skin's surface without affecting the hair follicle. Waxing, epilation, and electrolysis all involve removing hair from the root or affecting the hair follicle in some way, whereas depilation specifically refers to surface hair removal.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Waxing is an example of which of which type hair removal 

    • Photo-epilation

    • Depilation

    • Epilation

    • Electrolysis

    Correct Answer
    A. Epilation
    Explanation
    Epilation refers to the removal of hair from the root, which includes methods like waxing, tweezing, and sugaring. In contrast, depilation involves removing hair from the surface of the skin, such as shaving or using depilatory creams. Photo-epilation is a specific type of hair removal that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) or laser technology. Electrolysis is another method of hair removal that uses an electric current to destroy hair follicles. Therefore, since waxing involves removing hair from the root, it is an example of epilation.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Tweezing is an example of which type of hair removal 

    • Photo-epilation

    • Epilation

    • Depilation

    • Electrolysis

    Correct Answer
    A. Epilation
    Explanation
    Epilation is the removal of hair from the root, which includes methods like tweezing, waxing, and sugaring. These techniques remove hair from beneath the skin's surface, ensuring a longer-lasting result compared to depilation, which only removes hair from the surface. Photo-epilation, on the other hand, uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to target and destroy hair follicles, while electrolysis involves the use of an electric current to permanently remove hair. Therefore, tweezing falls under the category of epilation as it removes hair from the root.

    Reduction occurs during which stage of the permanent wave or chemical relaxer process

    • Processing

    • Neutralizing

    • Blocking

    • Wrapping

    Correct Answer
    A. Processing
    Explanation
    During the processing stage of the permanent wave or chemical relaxer process, reduction occurs. This is the stage where the chemical product is applied to the hair, and it works to break down the disulfide bonds in the hair shaft. This allows the hair to be reshaped or relaxed, depending on the desired outcome. The reduction process alters the structure of the hair, making it more malleable and able to hold the desired shape or texture.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Oxidation occurs during which stage of the permanent wave or chemical relaxer process 

    • Processing

    • Neutralizing

    • Blocking

    • Wrapping

    Correct Answer
    A. Neutralizing
    Explanation
    During the permanent wave or chemical relaxer process, oxidation occurs when the hair is exposed to the chemicals. This oxidation step helps break down the disulfide bonds in the hair, allowing it to be reshaped or straightened. The neutralizing stage then follows, which stops the oxidation process by applying a neutralizing solution. This solution helps restore the hair's pH balance and re-form the disulfide bonds in their new shape, ensuring the desired texture or style is set. Therefore, the correct answer is neutralizing.

    _________is the primary reducing agent in most alkaline perms 

    • Glycerol monothioglycolate

    • Guanidine

    • Ammonium thioglycolate/ ATG

    • Sodium hydroxide

    Correct Answer
    A. Ammonium thioglycolate/ ATG
    Explanation
    Ammonium thioglycolate, also known as ATG, is the primary reducing agent in most alkaline perms. It helps to break the disulfide bonds in the hair, allowing it to be reshaped into the desired curl pattern. This chemical reaction is what gives perms their lasting effect. Glycerol monothioglycolate and guanidine are also reducing agents used in some perms, but ammonium thioglycolate is the most commonly used and effective one. Sodium hydroxide, on the other hand, is used in relaxers to straighten the hair, not in perms.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The primary reducing agent in most relaxer 

    • Glycerol monothioglycolate

    • Guanidine

    • Ammonium thioglycolate

    • Sodium hydroxide

    Correct Answer
    A. Sodium hydroxide
    Explanation
    Sodium hydroxide is the primary reducing agent in most relaxers. It is a strong alkaline compound that breaks down the disulfide bonds in the hair, allowing it to be reshaped and straightened. Glycerol monothioglycolate and ammonium thioglycolate are commonly used in permanent wave solutions, not relaxers. Guanidine is used in no-lye relaxers, but it is not the primary reducing agent. Therefore, sodium hydroxide is the correct answer.

    The approximate ph of most alkaline permanent wave is 

    • 7

    • 8.2 - 9.6

    • 9.5 - 10.5

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 8.2 - 9.6
    Explanation
    The approximate pH of most alkaline permanent wave solutions is between 8.2 and 9.6. This pH range is necessary for the chemical process of permanent waving to occur effectively. Alkaline solutions help to break down the disulfide bonds in the hair, allowing it to be reshaped into a new curl pattern. The pH range mentioned ensures that the solution is strong enough to break the bonds but not too strong to cause excessive damage to the hair.

    The most common neutralizer for an alkaline permanent wave is 

    • H2O2

    • Guanidine

    • Sodium bromide

    • H2O

    Correct Answer
    A. H2O2
    Explanation
    The correct answer is H2O2. In alkaline permanent wave processes, the hair is treated with a reducing agent to break the disulfide bonds in the hair. This process creates a new shape in the hair. After this, a neutralizer is applied to re-establish the disulfide bonds and set the new shape. H2O2, also known as hydrogen peroxide, is commonly used as a neutralizer in alkaline permanent wave processes. It helps to oxidize and neutralize any remaining reducing agent, ensuring the hair retains the desired shape and texture.

    The presence of this substance will leave the hair unfit for additional chemical service such as chemical relaxer, permanent wave or permanent hair- color 

    • Metallic salts/dyes

    • Henna

    • Aniline derivate tints

    • Both A and B

    Correct Answer
    A. Both A and B
    Explanation
    Both metallic salts/dyes and henna can leave the hair unfit for additional chemical services. Metallic salts/dyes can react with other chemicals, causing unwanted color changes or damage to the hair. Henna is a natural plant-based dye that can also interfere with the results of chemical services. Therefore, both A (metallic salts/dyes) and B (henna) can leave the hair unfit for additional chemical services.

    An "endothermic" permanent wave is one that 

    • Requires hear from an outside source

    • Generates

    • Is highly alkaline

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Requires hear from an outside source
    Explanation
    An "endothermic" permanent wave is one that requires heat from an outside source. This means that in order for the permanent wave to occur, heat needs to be applied externally. This is different from an "exothermic" permanent wave, which generates its own heat during the process. Therefore, the correct answer is that an "endothermic" permanent wave requires heat from an outside source.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    An "exothermic" permanent wave is one that 

    • Requires heat from an outside source

    • Is higlhly alkaline

    • Generates its own heart

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Generates its own heart
    Explanation
    An "exothermic" permanent wave is one that generates its own heat. This means that the chemical reaction occurring during the permanent wave process produces heat as a byproduct, which helps to activate and set the curls in the hair. This is in contrast to an "endothermic" permanent wave, which requires heat from an outside source to provide the necessary temperature for the chemical reaction to occur.

    • Disulfide bonds

    • Sulfide bonds

    • Hydrogen bonds

    • Bearer bonds

    Correct Answer
    A. Hydrogen bonds
    Explanation
    Hydrogen bonds are the weakest bonds in the hair. These bonds form between the hydrogen atoms of one hair strand and the oxygen or nitrogen atoms of another hair strand. They are easily broken by water or heat, which is why hair can be easily manipulated and styled. Disulfide bonds, on the other hand, are strong bonds that contribute to the hair's structure and are not easily broken. Sulfide bonds and bearer bonds are not relevant to the structure of hair.

    Rate this question:

    The sebaceous glands produce 

    • Sebum

    • Oil

    • Sweat

    • Sebum and oil

    Correct Answer
    A. Sebum and oil
    Explanation
    The sebaceous glands produce sebum and oil. Sebum is an oily substance that helps to lubricate the skin and hair, keeping them moisturized. It also helps to protect the skin from drying out and acts as a barrier against bacteria and other harmful substances. Oil, on the other hand, is a general term used to describe any lipid-based substance that is produced by the sebaceous glands. Both sebum and oil play important roles in maintaining the health and integrity of the skin.

    Rate this question:

    • Solution

    • Suspension

    • Emulsion

    • Coloid

    Correct Answer
    A. Solution
    Explanation
    A solution is a stable mixture of two or more substances that are mixed together and will not separate upon standing. In a solution, the solute particles are evenly distributed throughout the solvent, resulting in a homogeneous mixture. This is different from a suspension, where the particles are larger and will eventually settle out, or an emulsion, where two immiscible liquids are mixed together but can separate over time. A colloid is a type of mixture where the particles are larger than those in a solution but smaller than those in a suspension, and they do not settle out upon standing.

    Correct Answer
    A. Suspension
    Explanation
    A suspension is an unstable mixture of two or more substances that will separate upon standing. In a suspension, the particles of one substance are dispersed in another substance, but they are not completely dissolved. Instead, they remain suspended in the mixture and can be seen with the naked eye. Over time, the particles will settle at the bottom due to gravity, causing the mixture to separate. This is different from a solution, where the solute is completely dissolved in the solvent, and from an emulsion, where two immiscible liquids are mixed together. A colloid, on the other hand, is a stable mixture where the particles are evenly dispersed and do not settle.

    • Coild

    Correct Answer
    A. Emulsion
    Explanation
    An emulsion is an unstable mixture of two or more substances that are mixed together but will separate upon standing, unless held together by the addition of another chemical. Unlike a solution, where the substances are completely dissolved and evenly distributed, or a suspension, where the substances are not completely dissolved and will eventually settle, an emulsion contains droplets of one substance dispersed throughout another substance. The addition of an emulsifying agent helps to stabilize the mixture and prevent separation.

    Rate this question:

  • 26.

    • Solution

    • Emulsion

    • Suspension

    • Coloid

    Correct Answer
    A. Coloid
    Explanation
    A colloid is a mixture of two or more substances that do not fully dissolve or separate upon standing. It contains particles that are larger than those found in a solution, but smaller than those found in a suspension. These particles are not visible to the naked eye, which differentiates a colloid from a suspension. Additionally, a colloid can be stabilized by the addition of another chemical, preventing the particles from separating. Therefore, the given description matches the characteristics of a colloid.

    Which is the longest stage of hair growth 

    • Halogen

    • Catagen

    • Telagen

    • Anagen

    Correct Answer
    A. Anagen
    Explanation
    The correct answer is anagen. Anagen is the longest stage of hair growth. During this stage, the hair follicle is actively producing new cells and the hair is growing. This stage can last for several years, depending on factors such as genetics and overall health.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    Which is known as the "resting stage" of hair growth 

    • Halogen

    • Catagen

    • Telagen

    • Anagen

    Correct Answer
    A. Telagen
    Explanation
    Telogen is known as the "resting stage" of hair growth. During this phase, the hair follicle is in a dormant state and does not produce new hair. This stage lasts for about 2-3 months before the hair follicle enters the next phase of growth called anagen. During anagen, new hair starts to grow from the follicle. Halogen, catagen, and anagen are not associated with the resting stage of hair growth.

    Rate this question:

  • 29. 

    Which is known as the " transitional stage " of hair growth 

    • Halogen

    • Catagen

    • Telagen

    • Anagen

    Correct Answer
    A. Catagen
    Explanation
    The transitional stage of hair growth is known as catagen. During this stage, the hair follicle detaches from the blood supply and stops producing new cells. The hair shaft is pushed up towards the surface of the skin, but it is not actively growing. This stage typically lasts for a few weeks before the hair enters the resting stage (telogen) and eventually falls out.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    The growth stage of hair lasts between  

    • 1& 7 years

    • 3 & 6 months

    • 2 & 5 years

    • 8 & 10 years

    Correct Answer
    A. 1& 7 years
    Explanation
    During the growth stage of hair, also known as the anagen phase, the hair follicles actively produce new hair. This phase can last anywhere between 1 to 7 years. After this phase, the hair enters a resting phase called the telogen phase, where it stops growing and eventually falls out. The length of the growth stage can vary depending on factors such as genetics, age, and overall health.

  • 31. 

    A healthy nail cuticle will typically be 

    • Loose & pliable

    • Loose & rigid

    • Rigid & pliable

    • Dry & pliable

    Correct Answer
    A. Loose & pliable
    Explanation
    A healthy nail cuticle will typically be loose and pliable because the cuticle is the layer of skin that protects the nail matrix and the nail bed from infection. If the cuticle is loose, it means that it is not tightly adhered to the nail plate, allowing it to move and flex along with the nail. This flexibility is important for the overall health of the nail as it allows for proper growth and prevents the cuticle from tearing or becoming damaged. Additionally, a pliable cuticle indicates that it is well-hydrated and moisturized, which is essential for maintaining healthy nails.

    Rate this question:

  • 32. 

    Which bonds are broken and then reformed int a new shape in the processing action of both permanent waving and chemical relaxer services 

    • Hydrogen bonds

    • Disulfide bonds

    • S bonds

    • Salt bonds

    Correct Answer
    A. Disulfide bonds
    Explanation
    Disulfide bonds are broken and then reformed in the processing action of both permanent waving and chemical relaxer services. Disulfide bonds are strong chemical bonds that hold together the protein structure of the hair. In permanent waving, these bonds are broken using a reducing agent, allowing the hair to be reshaped into a new curl pattern. In chemical relaxer services, the disulfide bonds are broken using a relaxing agent, allowing the hair to be straightened. After the desired shape is achieved, the disulfide bonds are reformed using an oxidizing agent, locking in the new shape.

    • Curved lines

    • Horizontal lines

    • Diagonal lines

    • Vertical lines

    Correct Answer
    A. Vertical lines
    Explanation
    Vertical lines are used to create length and height in a hair cut. When the hair is cut using vertical lines, it helps to add length to the hair and create a sense of height. This is because the vertical lines visually elongate the hair and make it appear longer and taller. Horizontal lines, on the other hand, create a sense of width and diagonal lines add movement and texture. Curved lines are used to create softness and fluidity in a hair cut.

    • Vertical lines

    Correct Answer
    A. Horizontal line
    Explanation
    Horizontal lines are design lines that are parallel to the floor and are used to create the appearance of width or bulk in the finished design. This is because horizontal lines visually expand the space and create a sense of stability and calmness. They are often used in interior design to make a room appear wider or to emphasize the width of furniture or architectural elements. In fashion design, horizontal lines can be used to create the illusion of broader shoulders or a wider waist.

    • 4.5-5.5

    • 8.2-9.6

    • 6.5-7.5

    • 9.6-10.8

    Correct Answer
    A. 8.2-9.6
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 8.2-9.6. This pH range is the most common for an ammonium thioglycolate perm because it provides the optimal conditions for the chemical reaction to occur. Ammonium thioglycolate is a reducing agent that breaks the disulfide bonds in the hair, allowing it to be reshaped. This reaction is most effective in a slightly alkaline environment, which is why the pH range of 8.2-9.6 is recommended. A pH below or above this range may result in an incomplete or uneven perm.

    A straight perm rod tool produces a uniform curl throughout the hair because it has a consistent diameter from top to bottom. This allows the hair to wrap around the rod evenly, resulting in a consistent curl pattern. In contrast, convex, concave, and spiral perm rods have varying diameters, which can create different curl patterns and variations in the final result.

    • Strand test

    • Porosity test

    • Predisposition test

    Correct Answer
    A. Elasticity test/ pull test
    Explanation
    The elasticity test, also known as the pull test, is used to determine the hair's suitability to receive a permanent treatment. This test involves gently pulling a strand of hair to see how much it stretches and returns to its original length. Hair with good elasticity is more likely to withstand the chemical process of a permanent treatment without breaking or becoming damaged. Therefore, the elasticity test is an important step in determining if the hair is strong and healthy enough to undergo a permanent treatment.

    The ability of the hair to absorb moisture is referred to as its 

    • Strength

    • Elasticity

    • ATG

    • Porosity

    Correct Answer
    A. Porosity
    Explanation
    Porosity refers to the ability of hair to absorb moisture. It is a measure of how easily hair can absorb and retain moisture. Hair with high porosity has a cuticle layer that is raised, allowing moisture to be easily absorbed. On the other hand, hair with low porosity has a tightly closed cuticle layer, making it more difficult for moisture to penetrate. Therefore, porosity is the correct answer to the question.
