CLINICAL COSMETOLOGY FLORIDA EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
100% ACCURATE SOLUTIONS 2024-2025
Base placement -- Answer ✔✔ Refers to the position of the rod in relation to its base
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
section; base is determined by the angle at which the hair is wrapped.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
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 -- Answer ✔✔ Perms that use sulfates, sulfites, and bisulfites as an
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
alternative to ammonium thioglycolate (atg) they have a low ph. Weak don't provide
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
strong curl _
Hair density -- Answer ✔✔ The number of individual hair strands on 1 square inch of
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
scalp.
Hair porosity -- Answer ✔✔ The ability of the hair to absorb moisture
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hair elasticity -- Answer ✔✔ The ability of the hair to stretch and return to its original
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
length
Low porosity -- Answer ✔✔ When the cuticle is tight and the hair is resistant, it is
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
difficult for moisture or chemicals to penetrate. What term describes this condition?
