Explanation:

• Question 16: After shampooing, towel - blotting without tension/rubbing is a good hair - care practice. A wide - tooth comb is better for detangling (so A is wrong). Combing from the ends up (not center) is better (so C is wrong). Pomades/serums can be used (so D is wrong).
• Question 17: A rope braid is made by twisting two strands around each other. A halo braid goes around the head, a single braid is a basic three - strand, and a visible braid is a general term.
• Question 18: A fishtail braid picks up hair from the sides and adds it as strands cross. A rope braid is two - strand twist (not adding from sides), a halo braid is circular, and a box braid is a type of cornrow.
• Question 19: Halo braids are long, simple, inverted, thick cornrows around the head. Box braids are square - shaped, rope braids are two - strand twists, and fishtail braids have a different structure.
• Question 20: Invisible braids (also known as French braids) use an underhand pick - up technique. They are done on the scalp (so B is wrong), can be done without extensions (so C is wrong), and are better for longer hair (so D is wrong).
