Evaluate the options

Using the Hair Molding Techniques knowledge point

• Ruffing: Also known as backbrushing, used to build a soft cushion or mesh.
• Ribboning: Using the Ribboning Technique knowledge point, this is a technique of forcing hair between the thumb and the back of the comb to create tension.
• Hair molding: This is the process of shaping and directing the hair into an S-pattern or smooth shape, particularly useful for short to mid-length chemically relaxed hair to prepare it for drying and subsequent thermal styling.
• Hair pressing: This is a thermal service itself (using a heated comb to temporarily straighten extremely curly hair), not a preparatory setting technique.

Select the correct option

The correct technique that fits the definition of preparing short to mid-length relaxed hair for a thermal service is hair molding (often referred to as wrapping or molding).

Answer:

• Ruffing
• Ribboning
