Arkansas State Barber Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

Solutions that soften, swell, or expand the cuticle scales usually have a/an:

Neutral pH level

Acidic pH level

Alkaline pH level

The correct answer is C. pH levels below 7 are considered acidic and can be harsh on the hair, which is why option B is incorrect. Option A, neutral pH level, will not have much effect on the cuticle scales. Option D, osmotic balance, is not a solution and therefore is not a possible answer. Alkaline pH levels, as in option C, are more likely to open the cuticle and soften, swell, or expand the cuticle scales, making it the correct answer.
