Question 1

A 'fall' hairpiece is best described as a hairpiece that:

Attaches at the crown and hangs down to add length

A fall attaches at the crown area and hangs down to add length and volume, blending seamlessly with the wearer's natural hair.

Question 2

Before recommending hair extensions, which factor is MOST important for a cosmetologist to assess?

Accepted Answer

Natural hair health and strength

Answer

The natural hair must be strong and healthy enough to support the weight and attachment method of extensions without experiencing breakage.

Question 3

What is the correct way to store a wig when it is not being worn?

Accepted Answer

On a wig stand or mannequin head

Answer

Storing a wig on a stand maintains its shape, prevents tangling, and protects the fibers from being crushed or kinked.

Question 4

What is the PRIMARY purpose of wearing a wig cap under a wig?

Accepted Answer

To protect natural hair and create a smooth, secure base

Answer

A wig cap compresses natural hair flat, protects it from friction and moisture, and creates a smooth base for the wig to sit evenly.

Question 5

How do clip-in extensions differ from permanent extension methods?

Accepted Answer

They can be removed at home without professional assistance

Answer

Clip-in extensions use snap clips that allow the wearer to attach and remove them independently without requiring a salon visit.
