Some are designed to balance oiliness on the scalp or address dandruff, while others are intended to soothe itchy skin. They are also commonly used to assist in removing built-up product from the scalp to leave the skin clean and refreshed.\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nScalp astringents are applied to wet hair once it has been shampooed and conditioned. Most scalp astringents are massaged into the scalp before they are fully rinsed from the hair. Once rinsed, hair can be dried and styled as normal.<\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"bugreport\">Found a bug? <a class=\"ylist\" href=\"https:\/\/airtable.com\/appgcc1PP0BbzPCbI\/shr5gZ1gnO15kxPFw?prefill_Test=Cosmetology&prefill_Question+Number=1&prefill_Which+Form=General-IQ-Feedback&prefill_UP-ID=General-IQ-Feedback%20-%20Cosmetology%20-%201&hide_Test=true&hide_Which+Form=true&hide_UP-ID=true&hide_Question+Number=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Let us know!<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 1.5em;\"><div class=\"cosmo-question-container\">\r\n    <p class=\"cosmo-question-text\">2. A service provider is combing a client's hair in preparation for a haircut. She maintains a tight grasp on the comb and holds it at a 180-degree angle. When combing through severe mats of hair, she uses her other hand to support movement. She plans to stretch her wrists and hands when she is done.<\/p>\r\n    <p class=\"cosmo-question-text\">Which of the following changes should she make to maintain her hand and wrist health?<\/p>\r\n    \r\n    <label class=\"cosmo-choice-label\"><input type=\"radio\" name=\"choice2\" value=\"A\" class=\"cosmo-choice-input\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">A.<\/span>&nbsp;She should loosen her grasp on the comb.<\/label>\r\n    <label class=\"cosmo-choice-label\"><input type=\"radio\" name=\"choice2\" value=\"B\" class=\"cosmo-choice-input\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">B. <\/span>&nbsp;She should hold the comb at a different angle.<\/label>\r\n    <label class=\"cosmo-choice-label\"><input type=\"radio\" name=\"choice2\" value=\"C\" class=\"cosmo-choice-input\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">C. <\/span>&nbsp;She should not use her other hand for support.<\/label>\r\n    <label class=\"cosmo-choice-label\"><input type=\"radio\" name=\"choice2\" value=\"D\" class=\"cosmo-choice-input\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">D. <\/span>&nbsp;She should not stretch to avoid overexertion.<\/label>\r\n  \r\n  <button class=\"cosmo-submit-btn\" onclick=\"checkAnswer(2)\">Submit<\/button><br>\r\n    <div id=\"feedback2\" class=\"cosmo-feedback-text\"><\/div>\r\n    <div id=\"explanation2\" class=\"cosmo-explanation-text\">Holding onto tools too tightly can strain the muscles of the hands and forearm. Using a relaxed grip is best, as it prevents muscle tension but allows the provider to maintain control of the tool. The angle used by the provider should be whatever is most comfortable for them while remaining effective for combing hair. A 180-degree angle is acceptable.\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nUsing the nondominant hand to support movement takes some pressure off the joints and muscles of the dominant hand, making this a healthy practice. Stretching before and after appointments is also a healthy habit in maintaining muscle and joint health. Failing to do so can lead to muscle pain and tension.<\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"bugreport\">Found a bug? <a class=\"ylist\" href=\"https:\/\/airtable.com\/appgcc1PP0BbzPCbI\/shr5gZ1gnO15kxPFw?prefill_Test=Cosmetology&prefill_Question+Number=2&prefill_Which+Form=General-IQ-Feedback&prefill_UP-ID=General-IQ-Feedback%20-%20Cosmetology%20-%201&hide_Test=true&hide_Which+Form=true&hide_UP-ID=true&hide_Question+Number=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Let us know!<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 1.5em;\"><div class=\"cosmo-question-container\">\r\n    <p class=\"cosmo-question-text\">3.

Foam applicators should be disposed of after use on a client.\r\n<br>\r\n<br>The same applies to cotton products, such as swabs or rounds. Pressed powder products, such as eyeshadow and face powder, can be safely disinfected. Using a spray intended for disinfecting makeup, the service provider should spray the powders and allow them to air dry before closing the container or palette that contains them.\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nWork surfaces are easily contaminated during makeup application, as many products and tools are used and then laid on the surface. It is necessary to clean and disinfect these surfaces to protect clients and providers. Any form of EPA-registered disinfectant can be used.<\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"bugreport\">Found a bug? <a class=\"ylist\" href=\"https:\/\/airtable.com\/appgcc1PP0BbzPCbI\/shr5gZ1gnO15kxPFw?prefill_Test=Cosmetology&prefill_Question+Number=3&prefill_Which+Form=General-IQ-Feedback&prefill_UP-ID=General-IQ-Feedback%20-%20Cosmetology%20-%201&hide_Test=true&hide_Which+Form=true&hide_UP-ID=true&hide_Question+Number=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Let us know!<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 1.5em;\"><div class=\"cosmo-question-container\">\r\n    <p class=\"cosmo-question-text\">4.

Symptoms of chemical burns include swelling, burning, itching, redness, blisters, and skin discoloration.\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIn this scenario, the darkened skin is indicative of tissue damage caused by a chemical burn. Hair lighteners are corrosive, and failure to adhere to manufacturer instructions when applying them can cause damage to the hair and skin.\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nBecause a lightener is being used in this scenario and not a darkening color, the change of skin color does not indicate a failure to wash away all the product. Allowing the lightener to process longer would have caused more damage to the scalp. An incorrect color formula would have been indicated by an undesired resulting hair color, not the color of the scalp.<\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"bugreport\">Found a bug? <a class=\"ylist\" href=\"https:\/\/airtable.com\/appgcc1PP0BbzPCbI\/shr5gZ1gnO15kxPFw?prefill_Test=Cosmetology&prefill_Question+Number=4&prefill_Which+Form=General-IQ-Feedback&prefill_UP-ID=General-IQ-Feedback%20-%20Cosmetology%20-%201&hide_Test=true&hide_Which+Form=true&hide_UP-ID=true&hide_Question+Number=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Let us know!<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"CosmetologyCourse\" class=\"pt-page\"><span id=\"Cosmetology_Online_Prep_Course\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Cosmetology Online Prep Course<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to be fully prepared, Mometrix offers an <strong>online Cosmetology prep course<\/strong> designed to give you everything you need to succeed!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll find in the Cosmetology course:<\/p>\n<div class=\"mocblurb\"><ul>\n  <li class=\"moclessons\"><span class=\"moc-feature-text\">50+ Review Lessons Covering Every Topic<\/span><\/li>\n  <li class=\"mocpqs\"><span class=\"moc-feature-text\">Over 650 Cosmetology Practice Questions<\/span><\/li>\n  <li class=\"mocflash\"><span class=\"moc-feature-text\">500+ Digital Flashcards<\/span><\/li>\n  <li class=\"mocmoney\"><span class=\"moc-feature-text\">Money-back Guarantee<\/span><\/li>\n  <li class=\"mocmobile\"><span class=\"moc-feature-text\">Mobile Access<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n<p>Everyone learns differently, so we&#8217;ve tailored the Cosmetology online prep course to ensure every learner has what they need to prepare for the Cosmetology exam.<\/p>\n<p>Click below to check it out!<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/university\/cosmetology\/?utm_source=academy&amp;utm_medium=button&amp;utm_campaign=academy-mu-ads&amp;utm_content=cosmetology\" class=\"class_names\" style=\"color:black;\" onclick=\"_paq.push(['trackEvent', 'Course Button', 'Course Click', 'Cosmetology Course Click']);\"><button class=\"buttontranscript\">Start Your Cosmetology Online Course<\/button><\/a><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"sg-box\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sg-box-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sg-box-title\">Check Out Mometrix's Cosmetology Flashcards<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Get complex  subjects broken down into easily understandable concepts<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"sg-box-button blue-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flashcardsecrets.com\/cosmetology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get Your Flashcards<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flashcardsecrets.com\/cosmetology\/\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"238\" height=\"184\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cosmetologyflash.jpg\" alt=\" Flashcards\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"pt-page\"><span id=\"Exam_Scores\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Exam Scores<\/h2>\n<p>The scoring of the written portion of the exam is scaled.
