By conducting a predisposition test, the cosmetologist can determine if the client is allergic to any of the ingredients in the product. This helps to prevent any adverse reactions or complications during the application process, ensuring the safety and well-being of the client.

This is because a clipper cut involves using clippers to cut the hair to a desired length. By starting at the hairline and gradually moving up, the clippers can create a tapered effect where the hair is shorter near the hairline and longer towards the top of the head. This technique is commonly used to create a clean and blended look.

    The major difference between a wet set and perm is the:

    • A.

      Size of wrapping tools

    • B.

      Type of end bonds broken

    • C.

      Type of wrapping tools

    • D.

      Type of side bonds broken

    Correct Answer
    D. Type of side bonds broken
    Explanation
    In a wet set, the hair is set using wet hair and rollers, and the style is then allowed to dry naturally. This process breaks the hydrogen bonds in the hair, which allows it to be reshaped and set in the desired style. On the other hand, a perm involves the use of chemicals to break the disulfide bonds in the hair, which permanently alters its structure and allows it to hold a new shape. Therefore, the major difference between a wet set and a perm is the type of side bonds broken – hydrogen bonds in a wet set and disulfide bonds in a perm.

    During their inactive stage, certain bacteria form spherical spores:

    • A.

      Bacilli

    • B.

      Anthrax and tetanus

    • C.

      Diplococci

    Anthrax and tetanus bacteria have the ability to form spherical spores during their inactive stage. Spores are a dormant and highly resistant form of bacteria that allow them to survive in harsh environmental conditions. This enables anthrax and tetanus bacteria to persist in the environment for extended periods of time and potentially infect hosts when conditions become favorable for their growth and reproduction.

    In electronic tweezing, radio frequency energy is transmitted down the hair shaft and causes dehydration of the:

    • A.

      Dermis

    • B.

      Epidermis

    • C.

      Papilla

    • D.

      Nerve

    Correct Answer
    C. Papilla
    Explanation
    In electronic tweezing, radio frequency energy is transmitted down the hair shaft and causes dehydration of the papilla. The papilla is a small, nipple-like projection at the base of the hair follicle that contains blood vessels and nerves. Dehydration of the papilla can lead to the weakening and eventual destruction of the hair follicle, preventing hair growth. Therefore, targeting the papilla with radio frequency energy can be an effective method for permanent hair removal.
