1.
All of the following are reasons to study chemical texture services EXCEPT:
a)
Texture services are in high demand because they allow clients to follow popular hairstyle trends by changing the texture of their hair.
b)
Cosmetologists who understand how to perform texture services can meet client expectations while safely treating their hair.

2.
Which statement describes no-lye relaxers?
a)
no-lye relaxers process faster than other types of relaxers because the mixture absorbs quickly and breaks the disulfide bonds faster.
b)
Cosmetologists prefer no lye relaxers because they prevent the mineral build-up that causes hair to dry out.
c)
no-lye relaxers increase the acidity of the hair and scalp, which prevents the growth of harmful bacteria that cause brittleness.
d)
because no-lye relaxers have a lower pH, they are suitable for clients who have scalp sensitivities.
3.
How do chemical hair relaxers work?
a)
They break the hydrogen bonds, which are responsible for the hair’s texture, in order to change the hair from straight to curly, or curly to straight.
b)
They increase the hair's pH balance to an alkaline state, which raises the cuticle layer and allows the relaxer to reach the cortex, where the restructuring takes place.
c)
They decrease the hair's pH balance to an alkaline state, allowing the relaxer to reach the hair follicle, which restructures the hair's texture.
d)
They repair broken disulfide bonds that attach to the natural keratin found in hair fivers to permanently restructure the hair's shape.
4.
