Cosmetology State Board Practice
Test-Graded A
Corrugations - ANS-Nail disorder - Horizontal wavy ridges caused by uneven growth
due to illness or injuries.
Furrows - ANS-Nail disorder - vertical lines down the nail plate caused by nutrition,
injury or illness.
Leuconchia - ANS-White spots on the nail caused by injury to the base of the nail
Onychorrhexis - ANS-Split or brittle nails caused by injury, careless filing, vitamin
deficiencies, illness, and frequent exposure to strong chemicals.
Hang Nails - ANS-Caused by dry cuticle and carlessness in removing the cuticle
Onychomycosis Unguium - ANS-Nail fungus caused by a parasite. very contagious
Onychocryptosis - ANS-Ingrown nail caused by filing the nail too much, or tight fitting
shoes.
Verruca - ANS-Warts caused by infectious virus
Onycholysis - ANS-lifting of the nail without shedding
5 Basic Nail Shapes - ANS-squoval, round, oval, pointed, square
Toner - ANS-used on pre-lightened hair to achieve pale and delicate colors after
decoloring
Conditioning filler - ANS-protein conditioner that will equalize porosity and fill the holes
Color filler - ANS-used to replace the missing primary colors
Oxidative - ANS-Demi- permenant and permenant color
Fine texture - ANS-smallest diameter, least amount of melanin, more susceptible to
darker drabber results, more prone to damage
, Alkaline Wave - ANS-AKA cold waves - ammonium thioglycolate (thio and ammonia).
ph - 9.0-9.6, no tension, solution causes hair to swell, processes at RT
Acid Wave - ANS-AKA heat waves- glycerol monothioglycolate. ph - 7.8-8.2. will require
heat to speed processing
Endothermic - ANS-required added heat source
Exothermic - ANS-self heating
Croguiqnole - ANS-Wrapping technique from ends to scalp, causes tighter curls on
ends. also referred to as "overlapping method"
Spiral - ANS-hair is not perpendicular to rod - spiraled from top-bottom of rod
On base placement - ANS-hair is held 45* forward
1/2 off base placement - ANS-hair is held 90* straight up
Off base placement - ANS-hair is held 45* down
End paper techniques - ANS-double flat, bookend, cushion wrap
Lanthionization - ANS-hydroxide relaxer removes 1 of the sulfer atoms converting from
a disulfide bond converting it into a lanthionine bond, which is only 1 sulfur atom. can
never be reformed
Sodium relaxers are not compatible with : - ANS-Thio relaxers
Elasticity - ANS-ability to stretch and return to original length without breaking. wet -
50%, dry - 20%
Melanin - ANS-color pigment. eumelanin, and pheomelanin
Hair layers - ANS-medulla, cuticle, and cortex
Medulla - ANS-center core of hair, does nothing
Cuticle - ANS-7-14 scale like layers, outer layer of hair
Cortex - ANS-has hair pigment (melanin), 90% of hair weight, elasticity, strength, all
chemical changes
Skin Layers - ANS-Epidermis, Dermis, Subcutaneous tissue
