The combination of the size of the base in relation to the diameter of the tool in relation to the base is called:
base control
What affects the amount of volume, lift, fullness or mass achieved in a hair design?
base control
The base control that results in the most volume and strongest base strength is called:
on base (full base)
Holding the hair 90 degrees from the center of a one-diameter base and having the tool sit on the bottom parting results from which type of base control?
half-off base (half base)
Which base control positions the tool completely off the bottom parting?
off base
Which base control is being used when the tool sits in the lower portion of the base, but not on or below the parting?
underdirected
Hair that is held at a 45 degree angle above the center of the base and rolled to sit in the upper portion of the base is described by which term?
overdirected (volume base)
Base shape used within an oblong:
rhomboid
Base shape used within a half-circle:
triangle
What technique uses a comb to push back the shorter lengths of hair toward the base to create a cushion and add volume to the hair design?
backcombing
Defining the form includes smoothing the surface of the hair and:
controlling the amount of desired volume
Styling lotion supports volume and movement and:
is of liquid consistency
Which hairstyle products adds shine and weight to the hair:
pomade
Safety guidelines require the air intake of a blow dryer to be:
free from debris
The area of hair designing in which the hair is manipulated into the desired shapes and movements while wet and then allowed to dry is known as:
wet design
Created by two complete oblong shapes that are joined and connected by a ridge:
a fingerwave
The hallow of the fingerwave may be described by which term:
recess
Overdirection of the wave in fingerwaving may be caused by what improper techniques?
pinching or pushing the ridge
A section of hair that forms a pincurl is commonly described in three parts as the bas, stem and:
circle
The area of the strand at the scalp between partings within a shape is called:
base
Location of the pincurl stem that demonstrates the direction of the curl:
between the base and first turn
Determines the width and strength of a wave:
size of the circle
Achieved by using a pincurl with a closed circle:
smaller and stronger wave, for a fluffy effect
A pincurl with an open circle has the ability to produce what effect:
wider wave pattern with uniform curls
The shape of the base within pincurls is used to:
avoid splits in the finished hair style
The base shapes of pincurls most often used are triangle, square, rectangle and:
crescent
Type of base control is used to produce lift or strong curl effect:
on base (no stem)
Base control used when an equal degree of predetermined direction and volume are required is:
half off base (half stem)
Base control identified as having the stem and circle positioned below the base:
off base (full stem)
The off-base (full stem) pincurl produces what result?
closeness and mobility
Straight volume pincurls are also referred to as stand up pincurls, cascade pincurls and:
barrel curls
Cascade pincurls are volume pincurls used to create what result:
fullness and height
NOT a common type of curvature pincurl:
skip wave
Type of pincurl selected to obtain closeness within a hair style:
flat pincurl
Type of pincurl used to create fullness and height:
volume
Two alternating oblongs connected by a ridge in which one oblong is molded and one oblong set is called a:
skip wave
One oblong followed by a row of pincurls is called a:
ridge curl
Cone-shaped rollers fit into a curvature shape and allow the creation of what result:
a stronger curvature movement
Type of set allowing you to position rollers diagonally and set from multiple points of origin:
oblong
Use of a hand held dryer with finger, brushes, pressing combs and/or a curling iron is called:
thermal design
Before brushing or combing hair that has been curled with an iron, ensure that the hair is:
completely dry
Rain or humidity may cause thermally styled hair to react in what way?
hair returns to its original shape
The process of drying the hair and then styling it to create a new form is called air forming or:
blow drying
Which thermal designing tool is used to air form wet hair while using brushes, combs and fingers to create temporary direction and texture changes?
blow dryer
The blow dryer attachment that focuses the air flow to a small area is called the:
concentrator
Loss of hair elasticity or split ends may be caused by:
excessive air forming
What direction should the blow dryer’s air flow point?
down the hair strand from the scalp to the ends
To reduce the potential of hair and scalp damage from heat, hold the blow dryer at least:
3 to 5 inches from the hair
True about the use of a smaller brush when designing short hair:
achieves a curlier design
If the client wants volume, where should the brush be positioned when air forming with a round brush?
underneath the hair
The technique in which the fingers are used to manipulate and design the hair while using a blow dryer is called:
finger styling
If a client requests a temporary hair straightening service what method would be used?
hair pressing
Helps determine the temperature used when pressing hair:
texture
Hair breakage may result from what action?
pressing hair too often
How long hair pressing results last:
until the next shampoo
During hair pressing, fine hair requires:
applying less heat
How can the temperature of a pressing comb be tested?
place it against a white paper towel and look for a change of color
How is the majority of hair straightening accomplished during a pressing service?
pressing the spine of the comb against the hair
A hard press refers to applying the pressing comb:
twice with more pressure and heat
Thermal iron procedures are only performed on hair that has been:
dried
Curling iron barrels, in order to retain heat, are usually made of what materials:
stainless steel
To maintain a constant temperature during use, the electric curling iron contains a heating element controlled by a:
thermostat
The hair type that generally requires lower temperatures and less contact time when using an electric curling iron:
chemically altered hair
Manipulation of a thermal iron when styling involves all the procedure EXCEPT:
maintaining a closed clamp
The comb used to protect the scalp when performing curling iron techniques should be made of:
heat resistant or nonflammable material
Why should having the ends of the hair protrude over the iron be avoided?
fishhook ends could be the result
The technique used to create a curved-under or flipped up effect by adding curl texture at the ends only is referred to as an:
ends technique
Which technique involves using the curling iron to create alternating oblongs along the hair strand?
marcel technique
