Arkansas State Barber Practice Exam

The amount of movement in the hair strand is described as the?

1. Wave pattern

2. Curl pattern

3. Hair direction

4. Hair flow

The correct answer is: Wave pattern

The wave pattern refers to how the hair appears in terms of its shape, texture, and overall movement. This includes the natural wave or curl in the hair strand and how it moves and falls. This option is more specific than the others - curl pattern, hair direction, and hair flow - which do not fully encompass the different types of movement that can occur in a hair strand. While curl pattern also refers to the natural curl in the hair, it does not necessarily describe the overall movement of the hair. Hair direction typically refers to how the hair grows or falls in a certain direction on the scalp, rather than the movement of the individual hair strand. Hair flow is a more general term and does not specifically describe the movement of the hair. Therefore, the most accurate answer choice is A - wave pattern.
