NEWEST ACTUAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS. 100% ASSURED OF GRADE A+
1. Base placement: 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.
2. On base placement: 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)
3. Half of base placement: 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
4. Off-base placement: 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)
5. Base direction: angle at which the rod is positioned on the head
(horizontally, vertically, or diagonally); also, the directional pattern in
which the hair is wrapped.
6. Base sections: subsections of panels into which hair is divided for
perm wrap- ping; one rod is normally placed on each base section.
7. Base: foundation of curl. Area closest to the scalp panel of hair
which roller is placed
8. Stem: between the base and first arch (turn) gives curl definition and
mobility hair between scalp and the first turn of the roller
9. Circle: forms a complete circle the wave size of a curl will determine
width/wave and strength
10. No stem curl: (betty boo) on base of curly , tight firm long lasting
minimum mobility
11. Half stem curl: curl placed half off the base; permits medium
movement and gives good control to the hair.
12. Full stem movement: greatest mobility placed completely of base near
scalp will be flat and almost straight give hair strong define direction
13. Exothermic: produces heat (alkaline) heats up waving solution
14. Endothermic: absorbs/require heat (acid) use hooded dryer (less
damaging)
15. Ammonia-free waves: perms that use an ingredient that does not
evaporate as readily as ammonia, so there is very little odor associated
with their use.
16. Thio-free waves: perm that uses an ingredient other than atg as the
primary reducing agent, such as cysteamine or mercaptamine. (still
damaging )
17. Low-ph waves: 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
18. Hair density: the number of individual hair strands on 1 square inch of
scalp.
19. Hair porosity: the ability of the hair to absorb moisture
20. Hair elasticity: the ability of the hair to stretch and return to its original
length
21. Low porosity: when the cuticle is tight and the hair is resistant, it is
difficult for moisture or chemicals to penetrate. What term describes this
condition?
