100
This determines the size of the curl.
What is the diameter of the tool?
200
The tool position that is projected 45° above the center of the base; the tool sits completely within the base; the effect is maximum volume, and maximum base strength
What is on-base?
200
Once the hair is dry, the set can be _______ to collapse, integrate and blend the bases using cushion brush(es), a wide-tooth tail comb, or your fingers.
What is relax(ed)?
200

What is the base?
200
This comb is used for distribution, molding, scaling and parting the hair.
What is the fine-tooth tail comb?
200
This finishing technique is used to create a cushion at the base to expand the form and connect the base for a more structured controlled finish.
What is backcombing?
300
The tool position that is projected 45° above the center of the base; the tool sits in the upper portion of the base, but not on or above the parting; the effect is exaggerated direction and volume, reduced base strength
What is overdirected?
300
To ________ or shape the hair refers to designing wet hair in straight or curved lines to create a pattern.
What is mold?
300
Identify the part of the curl labeled by number 2.

What is underdirected?
400
To _________ or section means to carve out shapes in the proper size and proportion to establish the direction and the lines of the design.
What is scale?
400
Identify the part of the curl labeled by the number 3.

What is off-base?
500
This finishing procedure consists of adding finishing touches, such as piecing or pleating the hair for additional texture and to personalize the form.
What is detail(ing)?
500
Name the three parts of the curl.
