Under-processing is caused by
- A.
Insufficient processing time
- B.
Wrong choice of waving lotion
- C.
Improper wrapping
- D.
Adding water to waving lotion
Correct Answer
A. Insufficient processing timeExplanation
Insufficient processing time refers to not allowing enough time for the waving lotion to work on the hair. This can result in under-processing, meaning the hair does not achieve the desired level of curl or wave. Insufficient processing time can occur if the stylist rushes through the process or does not follow the recommended time guidelines. It is important to give the waving lotion enough time to fully penetrate and process the hair for optimal results.Rate this question:

Which of the following guidelines is true if your client has a round facial shape?
- A.
Add height at the crown
- B.
Add a full fringe
- C.
Add width at the sides
- D.
Add equal fullness around the entire face
Correct Answer
A. Add height at the crownExplanation
If a client has a round facial shape, adding height at the crown can help create the illusion of a longer and more balanced face shape. This technique can help to elongate the face and make it appear less round. By adding height at the crown, it creates a vertical line that counteracts the roundness of the face, resulting in a more flattering and balanced appearance.Rate this question:

Which statement about hair lightening is CORRECT?
- A.
Very dark hair may be damaged by extreme lightening
- B.
Hair lighteners are used as preliminary treatments, never by themselves
- C.
Lighteners are not effective in removing undesirable off-shades
- D.
Lightening has no effect on hair's porosity
Correct Answer
A. Very dark hair may be damaged by extreme lighteningExplanation
Very dark hair may be damaged by extreme lightening because the process of lightening the hair involves stripping away the natural pigment in the hair strands. The darker the hair, the more pigment needs to be removed, which can cause more damage to the hair. Extreme lightening treatments can weaken the hair, making it more prone to breakage and damage. It is important to use caution when lightening very dark hair to minimize the risk of damage.Rate this question:

Which bonds are individually very weak?
- A.
Hydrogen
- B.
Salt
- C.
Disulfide
- D.
Both A and B
Correct Answer
D. Both A and BExplanation
Both hydrogen bonds and salt bonds are individually very weak. Hydrogen bonds occur when a hydrogen atom is attracted to an electronegative atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen. These bonds are weaker than covalent or ionic bonds. Salt bonds, also known as ionic bonds, occur when oppositely charged ions attract each other. These bonds are also relatively weak compared to covalent bonds. Therefore, both A (hydrogen) and B (salt) bonds are individually very weak.Rate this question:

Sebaceous glands are NOT found in which of the following areas of the skin
- A.
Forehead
- B.
Groin
- C.
Palms
- D.

Correct Answer
C. PalmsExplanation
Sebaceous glands are responsible for producing sebum, an oily substance that moisturizes and protects the skin. These glands are found all over the body, except in areas where there are no hair follicles, such as the palms of the hands. Since the palms do not have sebaceous glands, they do not produce sebum and are therefore not included in the areas where these glands are found.Rate this question:

When you chemically relax a client's hair with a "no base" relaxer, you should always
- A.
Apply a protective cream to the entire scalp
- B.
Apply a protective cream to the hairline and ears
- C.
Make sure the hair is wet before beginning the procedure
- D.
Part the hair into no more than three sections
Correct Answer
B. Apply a protective cream to the hairline and earsExplanation
When chemically relaxing a client's hair with a "no base" relaxer, it is important to apply a protective cream to the hairline and ears. This is because the relaxer can be harsh on the skin and cause irritation or burns. By applying a protective cream to these areas, it creates a barrier between the relaxer and the skin, preventing any potential damage. Additionally, the hairline and ears are more sensitive and delicate, so they require extra protection during the relaxing process.Rate this question:

The action of sodium hydroxide relaxer causes the hair to
- A.
Soften and swell
- B.
Expand and harden
- C.
Harden and set
- D.
Shrink
Correct Answer
A. Soften and swellExplanation
When sodium hydroxide relaxer is applied to the hair, it causes the hair to soften and swell. This is because sodium hydroxide is a strong alkaline chemical that breaks down the disulfide bonds in the hair, which are responsible for its natural shape and texture. As these bonds are broken, the hair becomes more malleable and easier to manipulate. At the same time, the alkaline nature of sodium hydroxide causes the hair shaft to swell, which further contributes to the softening effect.Rate this question:

Tint remover
- B.
Oil bleach
- C.

Pre-softener
Correct Answer
C. Powder or paste bleachExplanation
Powder or paste bleach is the quickest way to lighten hair because it contains strong chemicals, such as hydrogen peroxide, that effectively strip the hair of its natural color. When mixed with a developer, the powder or paste bleach creates a powerful lightening agent that can lift the hair color several shades lighter in a short amount of time. Tint remover, oil bleach, and pre-softener are not as effective or fast-acting as powder or paste bleach in lightening hair.Rate this question:
