The front edge of a cap wig is made of a material that resembles the client’s scalp, along with a lace extension and a wire support that is used at the temples for a snug, secure fit. Hair is hand-tied under the net (under-knotted) to conceal the cap edge.

255) Small hair piece, covering the top of the head, usually worn by men : 

A) Cap Wigs

B) Capless Wig

C) Postiches

D) Toupee

TOUPEE

While men usually are the clients for toupees, women can also wear these hairpieces. A toupee is a small wig used to cover the top and crown of the head. The fine-net base is usually the most appropriate material for the client with severe hair loss. There are two ways to attach toupees: temporary (tape or clips) or semipermanent (tracks, adhesive, or sewing).

346) To determine whether a wig is synthetic or human hair, preform a / an:

A) Elasticity Test

B) Preliminary Test Curl

C) Match Test

D) Predisposition Test

MATCH TEST

What is the fastest way to tell if a strand of hair is a synthetic product or real human hair? Pull the strand out of the wig or hairpiece and burn it with a match. Human hair will burn slowly, giving off a distinctive odor. A strand of synthetic fiber, on the other hand, will either ball up and melt, extinguishing itself (a characteristic of a synthetic like Kanekalon®), or it will continue to flame and burn out very quickly (typical of polyester). In either case, it will not give off an odor.

373) To achieve a more natural look, when cutting a wig, you should:

A) Try to achieve a solid form

B) Taper the ends

C) Do not taper the ends

D) Use a blunt cut technique at the ends

[image]

TAPER THE ENDS

When cutting a wig, generally your goal is to make the hair look more realistic. As you know, natural hair has many lengths. Even when hair is cut to one length, internally there are various stages of hair growth. Hair that is one-month old and hair that is years-old exist on the same head. The stylist should try to achieve this natural look in the wig. The most effective way to do this is to taper the ends when cutting the wig. The more solid the shape, the more unnatural the hair will look.

374) Cutting a wig is best preformed on hair that is:

A) Dry

B) Damp

C) Wet

D) On the clients head

[image]

DRY

When cutting and trimming wigs, you can follow the basic methods of haircutting—blunt, layered, and graduated—using the same sectioning and elevations as on a real head of hair. Or you may do what many top stylists prefer to do, which is to cut free-form on dry hair. The wig should be placed on the block for cutting, but the comb out and finishing should be done on the client’s head. If you use free-form cutting, always work toward the weight. Vertical sections create lightness. Diagonal sections create a rounder beveled edge. Horizontal sections build heavier weight. To use this visual approach, begin by cutting a small section and observe how the hair falls. Your next step will be based on how the hair responds.

375) A wig with the cuticle all positioned in one direction is known as:

A) Non-Remi Hair

B) Turned Hair

C) Fallen Hair

D) Both B and C

TURNED HAIR

Turned hair, also known as Remi hair, is hair in which the root end of every single strand is sewn into the base, so that the cuticles of all hair strands move in the same direction: down. The hair is in better condition, and it is much easier to work with because it doesn’t tangle easily. Turning is a tedious, time-consuming process that increases the cost of the hair addition

376) A wig with the cuticle moving in different directions is known as:

A) Non-Remi Hair

B) Turned Hair

C) Fallen Hair

D) Both B and C

FALLEN

Fallen hair (the opposite of Remi hair), hair that has been shed from the head and gathered from a hairbrush, as opposed to hair that has been cut? Fallen hair is not turned, so the cuticles of the strands will move in different directions. This makes it tangle. In what is called Remi refined hair, the cuticle is partially removed, so that it will not lock and mat. This hair tends to be less expensive than Remi hair.

377) Because this type of hair generally has its cuticle moving in opposite directions and is likely to tangle, mat or lock-the cuticle is often removed:

A) Remi 

B) Turned

C) Synthetic

D) Fallen

FALLEN

In what is called Remi refined hair, the cuticle is partially removed, so that it will not lock and mat. This hair tends to be less expensive than Remi hair.
