COSMETOLOGY CLINICAL EXAM REVIEW
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
◉ on base placement.
Answer: Base control in which the hair is wrapped at a 45-degree
angle beyond perpendicular to its base section, and the rod is
positioned on its base. (greater volume)
◉ half of base placement.
Answer: hair is wrapped at a 90° perpendicular to its base section
rod is positioned half off its base section minimize stress and
tension on hair
◉ off-base placement.
Answer: Base control in which the hair is wrapped at 45 degrees
below the center of the base section, so the rod is positioned
completely off its base. (least volume)
◉ Base direction.
Answer: Angle at which the rod is positioned on the head
(horizontally, vertically, or diagonally); also, the directional pattern
in which the hair is wrapped.
,◉ base sections.
Answer: Subsections of panels into which hair is divided for perm
wrapping; one rod is normally placed on each base section.
◉ Base.
Answer: foundation of curl . area closest to the scalp panel of hair
which roller is placed
◉ stem.
Answer: between the base and first arch (turn) gives curl definition
and mobility hair between scalp and the first turn of the roller
◉ circle.
Answer: forms a complete circle the wave size of a curl will
determine width/wave and strength
◉ No stem curl.
Answer: (Betty boo) on base of curly , tight firm long lasting
minimum mobility
◉ Half stem curl.
Answer: Curl placed half off the base; permits medium movement
and gives good control to the hair.
, ◉ full stem movement.
Answer: greatest mobility placed completely of base near scalp will
be flat and almost straight give hair strong define direction
◉ Exothermic.
Answer: produces heat (alkaline) heats up waving solution
◉ Endothermic.
Answer: Absorbs/require heat (acid) use hooded dryer (less
damaging)
◉ ammonia-free waves.
Answer: Perms that use an ingredient that does not evaporate as
readily as ammonia, so there is very little odor associated with their
use.
◉ thio-free waves.
Answer: Perm that uses an ingredient other than ATG as the primary
reducing agent, such as cysteamine or mercaptamine. (Still
damaging )
◉ low-pH waves.
