    Stressful, repetitive motions have a cumulative effect on joints and:

    • Eyes

    • Muscles

    • Skin

    • Heart

    Correct Answer
    A. Muscles
    Explanation
    Stressful, repetitive motions can have a cumulative effect on joints and muscles. These motions can cause strain and overuse of the muscles, leading to muscle fatigue, tension, and even injuries such as muscle strains or tears. The repetitive nature of the motions can prevent the muscles from fully recovering, causing the cumulative effect over time. This can result in chronic muscle pain, decreased flexibility, and reduced muscle function. Therefore, it is important to take breaks, stretch, and practice proper ergonomics to minimize the impact of repetitive motions on muscles.

    A. Nippers
    Explanation
    Nippers are a type of tool used for cutting or trimming nails. Unlike the other items listed (paper towel, neck strips, and orangewood sticks), nippers are not disposable and can be used multiple times. Therefore, nippers do not need to be disposed of after a single use.

    The thinnest skin can be found on the:

    • Eyelids

    • Fingertips

    • Lips

    • Nose

    Correct Answer
    A. Eyelids
    Explanation
    The thinnest skin can be found on the eyelids. The skin on the eyelids is extremely thin and delicate compared to other areas of the body. This is because the skin on the eyelids needs to be flexible and able to move easily to allow for blinking and other eye movements. Additionally, the skin on the eyelids is also more prone to damage and wrinkling due to the constant exposure to environmental factors such as sunlight and harsh chemicals.

    As a rule of thumb, coarse and gray hair can withstand more heat than:

    • Fine hair

    • Long hair

    • Short hair

    • Conditioned hair

    Correct Answer
    A. Fine hair
    Explanation
    Coarse and gray hair, due to their thicker and more porous nature, are generally able to withstand higher levels of heat compared to fine hair. Fine hair tends to be more delicate and prone to damage, making it less tolerant to heat styling tools such as flat irons or curling irons. The thinner strands of fine hair are more susceptible to breakage and heat-induced frizz, making it important to use lower heat settings or protective products when styling fine hair.

    Before taking the head measurements in fitting for a wig, the natural hair should be:

    • Flat and tight to the scalp

    • Loose and flat to the scalp

    • Styled and conditioned

    • Clean and loose at the scalp

    Correct Answer
    A. Flat and tight to the scalp
    Explanation
    Before taking the head measurements in fitting for a wig, the natural hair should be flat and tight to the scalp. This is because having the hair flat and tight ensures accurate measurements of the head, allowing for a better fit of the wig.

    • Hair and scalp examination

    • Conditioning treatment

    • Abrasion test

    Correct Answer
    A. Hair and scalp examination
    Explanation
    A stylist should recommend a hair or scalp treatment only after having performed a hair and scalp examination. This is important because the examination allows the stylist to assess the condition of the client's hair and scalp, identify any issues or concerns, and determine the most suitable treatment. Without a proper examination, the stylist may not have enough information to accurately recommend a treatment, which could potentially lead to ineffective or harmful results.

    THe hair type that requires less elevation and should be left a bit longer because of shrinkage when it dries is:

    • Coarse hair

    • Dry hair

    • Straight hair

    • Curly hair

    Correct Answer
    A. Curly hair
    Explanation
    Curly hair requires less elevation and should be left a bit longer because it tends to shrink when it dries. The natural shape of curly hair causes it to appear shorter when dry compared to when it is wet. Therefore, to achieve the desired length, it is recommended to leave curly hair a bit longer when cutting.

    The process of removing excess bulk without shortening hair length is:

    • Beveling

    • Tapering

    • Stacking

    • Texturizing

    Correct Answer
    A. Texturizing
    Explanation
    Texturizing is the process of removing excess bulk from the hair without shortening its length. This technique involves creating texture and movement in the hair by using various cutting techniques such as point cutting, slicing, or notching. By strategically removing some hair strands, the overall weight and density of the hair are reduced, resulting in a lighter and more manageable hairstyle. Unlike beveling, tapering, or stacking, which involve cutting hair to specific lengths or angles, texturizing focuses on thinning out the hair while maintaining its length.

    • Cuticle layer

    • Hair bulb

    • Dermal papilla

    • Arrector pili

    Correct Answer
    A. Hair bulb
    Explanation
    The hair bulb is the thickened, clublike structure that forms the lower part of the hair root. It is responsible for producing new hair cells and is located at the base of the hair follicle. The hair bulb contains the dermal papilla, which is a cluster of connective tissue and blood vessels that supply nutrients to the growing hair. The hair bulb also contains cells that produce melanin, the pigment responsible for hair color. The cuticle layer is the outermost protective layer of the hair shaft, while the arrector pili is a small muscle that causes hair to stand up when contracted.

    Explanation
    A carbuncle is an inflammation of the subcutaneous tissue, commonly caused by staphylococci bacteria. Staphylococci are a type of bacteria that can infect the skin and cause various skin conditions, including carbuncles. These bacteria can enter the body through cuts, wounds, or hair follicles, leading to an infection that results in the formation of a painful, red, and swollen lump. Treatment often involves antibiotics to eliminate the staphylococci bacteria and promote healing. Mites, nits, and head lice are not typically associated with causing carbuncles.
