The artificial covering that covers 100% of the client's natural hair is a:
- A.
Toupee
- B.
Wig
- C.
Hairpiece
- D.
Braids
Correct Answer
B. WigExplanation
A wig is the correct answer because it is an artificial covering that can completely cover a client's natural hair. Wigs are commonly used to change hairstyles or cover hair loss, and they come in various styles, colors, and lengths. Unlike toupees or hairpieces, which are typically smaller and used to cover specific areas of the scalp, wigs provide full coverage and can be easily removed or attached to the head. Braids, on the other hand, are a hairstyle created by weaving or twisting the natural hair, and they do not involve an artificial covering.Rate this question:

A hairpiece is a small hair addition that is used to cover the top or crown of the head.

The fastest way to determine whether a strand of hair is synthetic is to:
- A.
Burn it with a match
- B.
Ask the manufacturer
- C.
Shanpoo the hair
- D.
Style the hair
Correct Answer
A. Burn it with a matchExplanation
Burning a strand of hair with a match is the fastest way to determine whether it is synthetic or not. Synthetic hair is made from plastic fibers, so when it is burned, it will melt and give off a strong, chemical smell. On the other hand, natural hair will burn like human hair, with a slight smell of burning hair. Asking the manufacturer may not be a reliable method as they may not always provide accurate information. Shampooing or styling the hair will not provide any information about its synthetic or natural nature.Rate this question:

Over time, the wig may become lighter or develop a reddish or yellowish tint due to the oxidation process. Therefore, the correct answer is "oxidize."Rate this question:

Synthetic wigs that are particularly durable are made out of:
- A.
Silk
- B.
Polyester
- C.
Yak
- D.

Correct Answer

Modacrylic is the correct answer because it is a synthetic fiber that is commonly used in the production of durable wigs. It is known for its flame-resistant properties and ability to retain its shape even after multiple washes. Modacrylic wigs are also lightweight and have a natural-looking texture, making them a popular choice among wig wearers. Silk, polyester, and yak are not commonly used materials for making synthetic wigs, which is why they are not the correct answers.Rate this question:

Synthetic materials, monacrylic materials, and human hair mix wigs are generally less expensive options and may not offer the same level of quality and durability as human hair wigs.Rate this question:

The root ends of hair with the cuticle placed in the same direction to prevent tangling is :
- A.
Human hair
- B.
Fallen hair
- C.
Tangle free hair
- D.
Turne d hair
Correct Answer
D. Turne d hairExplanation
The term "turne d hair" is likely a misspelling of "turned hair." When hair is turned, it means that the cuticle of the hair is aligned in the same direction, which helps to prevent tangling. This is a common practice in the production of high-quality hair extensions or wigs to ensure that the hair remains tangle-free and manageable. Human hair, fallen hair, and tangle-free hair do not specifically refer to the alignment of the cuticle, making them less likely to be the correct answer.Rate this question:

These pins have a T-shaped top that allows for easy insertion and removal, ensuring that the wig stays in place during styling or storage.
