  Acetones
- B.
  
  Hot oil manicures
- C.

Explanation
Hot oil manicures are the best manner in which to treat agnails. Agnails, also known as hangnails, are small pieces of torn skin at the side of a fingernail or toenail. Hot oil manicures involve soaking the nails in warm oil, which helps to soften the skin and prevent further tearing or irritation. This treatment helps to moisturize the nails and cuticles, promoting healthy nail growth and preventing agnails from occurring. Acetones, eponychium, and onyxology are not specifically related to the treatment of agnails.

Explanation
A spiral perm is a type of perm that is wound up from the scalp to the ends of the hair. This technique creates tight, corkscrew-like curls that resemble spirals.

The term "mermaid style" is not a recognized term in the context of perming techniques, so it is not the correct answer.

Explanation
Croquignole is a type of perm that is wound up from the ends to the scalp. This technique involves wrapping the hair in a spiral pattern around the perm rod, starting from the ends and moving towards the scalp. The result is a tight, uniform curl that starts at the ends and gradually becomes looser towards the scalp. This technique is commonly used to create tight, bouncy curls that last for a long time.

  Cold wave
- C.
  
  Natural curl
- D.
  
  Finger wave
Correct Answer
B. Cold wave

Explanation
A cold wave perm is a type of perm that does not use heat. Instead, it uses a chemical solution to create curls or waves in the hair. The solution is applied to the hair, which is then wrapped around rods. The chemical solution breaks down the hair's natural structure, allowing it to be reshaped into curls or waves. Unlike other types of perms that use heat, a cold wave perm is considered to be less damaging to the hair.
