| A technique that loosens or relaxes tightly curled hair patterns by 50%? | Curl diffusion |
| A service used on natural, untreated hair to straighten the hair up to 85%? | Virgin relaxer |
| When the relaxer is applied to the new growth only to match previously relaxed hair? | Relaxer retouch |
| The type of relaxer that is performed in selected areas only? | Zonal relaxer |
| Which phase of relaxing is the most important? | Both are equally important |
| What relaxer ingredient requires the use of base cream? | Sodium hydroxide |
| What ingredient is found in the stronger of the 2 relaxers? | Sodium hydroxide |
| For wavy to curly hair, not as harsh as sodium hydroxide, and does not require base cream? | Ammonium thioglycolate |
| During a relaxer, what step facilitates relaxation and reforming of the bonds to the new straighter position? | Smooth or comb |
| Another name for sodium hydroxide relaxers? | Lye relaxers |
| The pH of Sodium hydroxide relaxers? | 11.5-14 |
| What type of hair is sodium hydroxide used on? | Tightly curled |

| What product should NOT be applied to hair previously relaxed with a thioglycolate relaxer? | Hydroxide |
| You should never use an ammonium thioglycolate relaxer on hair previously treated with? | Hydroxide |
| In a relaxer service, once the hair has been rinsed, and excess water is removed, proceed with what? | Neutralizer |
| What relaxer product restores broken disulfide bonds? | Neutralizing solution |

| What is applied to the hair to restore protein and/or moisture loss during a chemical process? | Protein and/or moisturizing conditioner |
| What conditions determine the processing time and proper strength to use? | Texture, elasticity, and porosity |
| The hair's ability to absorb moisture, liquids, or chemicals? | Porosity |
| What does porosity affect when working with a chemical relaxer? | Processing time |
| What strength of relaxer is used on porous hair? | Mild |
