when smoothing the hair for flat ironing, when should the hair be divided into two separate sections? (select all that apply.)
select the correct response(s):
if the hair is longer than 12\ (30 cm)
if the hair is wavy
if the hair is very curly
if the hair is rough

Explanation:

Analyze standard cosmetology guidelines for flat ironing

Standard cosmetology procedures (such as Milady Standard Cosmetology) state that when preparing and smoothing the hair for flat ironing, if the hair is longer than 12 inches (30 cm), it should be divided into two separate sections to ensure even heat distribution and manageable control.

Evaluate the given options

• "if the hair is longer than 12\" (30 cm)": This matches the standard textbook rule for dividing the hair into two separate sections during the smoothing/flat ironing preparation.
• "if the hair is wavy", "if the hair is very curly", "if the hair is rough": These characteristics affect heat settings and product choice, but do not dictate this specific 12-inch sectioning rule.

Answer:

• if the hair is longer than 12" (30 cm) (Correct answer)
• if the hair is wavy
• if the hair is very curly
• if the hair is rough
