Arkansas State Barber Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

In permanent waving, what is another name for the waving lotion?

Moisturizing agent

Activator

Reducing agent

One may be tempted to choose option A as the waving lotion can have a moisturizing effect on the hair, but in permanent waving, moisture is not the main function of the lotion. Similarly, option B may seem like a possible answer as an activator can also help to initiate the chemical process in the hair, but the specific term for the lotion used in permanent waving is a reducing agent. Option D is incorrect as an oxidizing agent would have the opposite effect, making the hair look straight and not wavy. Therefore, option C is the most suitable answer for this question as it accurately reflects the function of the waving lotion in permanent waving.
