Question

1. match each hair type with the safeguards and precautions applicable to pressing that kind of hair.

a. fine hair
b. short, fine hair
c. coarse hair
d. coily or curly hair
e. lightened hair
f. tinted hair
g. gray hair
special hair type safeguards and precautions for thermal pressing
because of the compact construction of its cuticle cells, this hair type requires more heat and pressure than others.
might require pre - and post - conditioning treatments, depending on the extent of the damage.
may be harder to straighten. for good results, use a moderately heated pressing comb applied with light pressure. avoid excessive heat, as discoloration or breakage can occur.
never recommended.
take extra care at the hairline. pressing comb should not be too hot because the hair will burn easily.
apply enough pressure so that the hair remains straightened.
avoid using a high - heat pressing comb or too much pressure; consider flat ironing on high heat if the curl form is not highly textured. to avoid hair breakage, apply less pressure to the hair near the ends.
short answer

1. how can you protect yourself when first learning to use a heated comb?
2. how do you straighten the hair using the back of the comb?

Explanation:

• "Because of the compact construction of its cuticle cells, this hair type requires more heat and pressure than others." - Coarse hair (c) has a more compact cuticle structure and needs more heat and pressure for thermal - pressing.
• "Might require pre - and post - conditioning treatments, depending on the extent of the damage." - Lightened hair (e) is chemically treated and may need conditioning to prevent damage.
• "May be harder to straighten. For good results, use a moderately heated pressing comb applied with light pressure. Avoid excessive heat, as discoloration or breakage can occur." - Coily or curly hair (d) is difficult to straighten and is prone to damage from excessive heat.
• "Never recommended." - Tinted hair (f) may not be suitable for thermal pressing as the color can be affected.
• "Take extra care at the hairline. Pressing comb should not be too hot because the hair will burn easily." - Fine hair (a) is delicate and burns easily.
• "Apply enough pressure so that the hair remains straightened." - Short, fine hair (b) may need pressure to stay straight due to its short length and fine texture.
• "Avoid using a high - heat pressing comb or too much pressure; consider flat ironing on high heat if the curl form is not highly textured. To avoid hair breakage, apply less pressure to the hair near the ends." - Gray hair (g) is more fragile and requires careful handling.

1. When first learning to use a heated comb, one can protect themselves by practicing on a small section of hair first, using a lower heat setting, and keeping a heat - protectant spray handy to minimize damage to hair and potential burns to the scalp or skin.

1. To straighten hair using the back of the comb, first, apply a heat - protectant product to the hair. Then, section the hair. Hold the heated comb at a slight angle and run the back of the comb slowly down the length of the hair section, starting from the roots and moving towards the ends. Repeat the process for each section until the hair is straightened.
