ACTUAL Exam Questions and CORECT
Answers
Viscosity - CORRECT ANSWER - - THICKNESS of liquid substances
- as glue dries viscosity thickens & increases
Long Chain Polymer - CORRECT ANSWER - - WEAKER
- built of smaller molecular unit
- PROS: less irritation, lower fumes & odor
- CONS: weaker, less durable
Elastomeric - CORRECT ANSWER - - STRONGER
- has elasticity
- better than long chain polymer
Cyanoacrylate - CORRECT ANSWER - - chemical name for family of fast acting
adhesives that SOLIDIFY into an inert (non-reactive) polymer
- only use medical grade biocompatible adhesive - designed for use on human body
- one of the main causes of irritation
Cyanoacrylate Adhesive - CORRECT ANSWER - monomer in liquid state
-> once solidifies it becomes a polymer
Polymers - CORRECT ANSWER - chains of single repeating units linked together by
chemical bonds (the entire pearl necklace)
,Monomers - CORRECT ANSWER - a molecule that can be bonded to other identical
molecules to form a polymer.
- repeating units
- building blocks of chain
- (the pearls on a pearl necklace)
Pearl Necklace - CORRECT ANSWER - Pearl = Monomers
Pearl Necklace = Polymer
String = chemical bonds holding everything together
Polymerization Reaction - CORRECT ANSWER - process in which monomers link
together creating polymer
- adding water can catalyze reaction
Formaldehyde - CORRECT ANSWER - - colorless gas with sharp suffocating odor
- toxic to humans -> causes cancer
- a gas that can be absorbed through mucous membrane of inner eyelids
Isolation - CORRECT ANSWER - process of keeping single NL set apart from others by
tweezers
Mucous Membrane (mucosa) - CORRECT ANSWER - - any membrane lining passages of
body that open to the outside
- ex: eyes, ears, nose, mouth
mucous membrane secrete mucous - fluid lining membranes that moisten tissue and protects
from infection
? BEST PRACTICES (7) - CORRECT ANSWER - 1. Create positive long term results
2. Ensure Desirable Immediate Results
, 3. Reduce risks of adverse reactions
4. Complete quick & comfortable application for client
5. Apply maximum # of extensions in allotted time (goal = bond every lash)
6. Spend reasonable amount of time on application
7. Do NOT damage NL
Clean Up Technique/Cleaning Up - CORRECT ANSWER - Making sure there's no loose
bases or stickies
Loose Base - CORRECT ANSWER - end of extension failed to bond with NL
Removal Solution - CORRECT ANSWER - liquid that dissolves eyelash adhesive
Separation Technique - CORRECT ANSWER - needs at least 4 rounds
- critical part of delivering high quality results
- keeps lashes apart from others
- ensures every NL is free to grow and stay healthy
- ensures every lash is bonded
stuck lashes = can't grow and become damaged
- remove extension to extension, extension to NL, cluster of extensions
- helps reveal hidden NL
- helps fluff up appearance of extensions
?Alternative Technique - CORRECT ANSWER - use of manual dying bulb to dry a wet
lash
TIME CONSUMING
Dry Removal/Twist & Peel Technique - CORRECT ANSWER - twist & peel off loose
extensions
