Question

1. why might a base touch - up to a hair pressing style be required between full services?
2. when performing a soft press, what size subsections should you use for medium - textured hair average density? for coarse hair with greater density? for thin or fine hair with sparse density?

1. ________ pressing combs are available in two forms: with a(n) ______ switch or with a(n) ______ that indicates ________ degrees of heat.
2. regular pressing combs may be designed as electrical appliances or be heated on ________ or ______ stoves. when heating on a ______ stove, point the ______ and keep the handle away from the ________.
3. after heating the ________ to the proper temperature, test it on a piece of ______ becomes scorched, allow the ______ to ________ slightly before applying it to the hair.
4. the teeth of the ________ can be cleaned using a small wire ______ or ______ buildup. remove ______ or ______ appears as black dust, from ______ - heated irons using ________

Explanation:

1. New hair growth at the base can disrupt the style, hence a touch - up is needed to maintain the hair pressing style.
2. For medium - textured hair of average density, smaller subsections ensure even pressing. For coarse hair with greater density, larger subsections can be used to cover more hair at once. For thin or fine hair with sparse density, very small subsections are best to avoid over - processing.
3. Electric pressing combs come with an on/off switch or a thermostat that indicates high/low degrees of heat.
4. Regular pressing combs can be heated on gas or electric stoves. When using a gas stove, point the comb and keep the handle away from the flame.
5. After heating the comb to the proper temperature, test it on a piece of paper. If the paper becomes scorched, allow the comb to cool slightly before applying it to the hair.
6. The teeth of the comb can be cleaned using a small wire brush to remove carbon or soot buildup. Remove carbon or soot from gas - heated irons using oil.

Answer:

1. New hair growth at the base disrupts the style.
2. For medium - textured hair of average density: small subsections. For coarse hair with greater density: large subsections. For thin or fine hair with sparse density: very small subsections.
