This wigs and hair additions quiz helps you spot real Remy hair, tell cap from capless wigs, and choose styling steps that keep hair looking natural. Use it to practice skills, place a wig the right way, and brush up on hairpieces so you catch gaps before clients sit down.

What characteristic defines Remy hair?
Always pre-styled
Completely tangle-free by default
Cuticles aligned in one direction
Mixed synthetic fibers
Remy hair retains the cuticle layer intact and aligned in one direction, which reduces tangling and extends longevity. This alignment ensures the hair moves naturally and smoothly. It differs from other human-hair wigs that may have cuticles stripped. .
Which wig cap type typically has open wefts for breathability?
Silk top cap
Capless wig
Full lace cap
Monofilament cap
Capless wigs feature wefts sewn onto elastic bands, allowing airflow through the wig. This makes them lighter and more breathable than traditional caps. They are often more affordable but less natural-looking at the part. .
True or False: Synthetic wigs can be heat-styled just like human hair wigs.
False
True
Most synthetic wigs are heat-sensitive and will melt or frizz if exposed to styling tools unless they are specifically labeled as heat-friendly. Human-hair wigs can generally withstand normal styling tools. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines. .
Which term refers to the texture of hair strands closely resembling natural untreated hair?
Remy blend
Virgin hair
Synthetic blend
Processed hair
Virgin hair has never been chemically processed - no dyes, perms, or relaxers - and retains its natural texture. It is prized for its quality and versatility in styling. Unlike Remy hair, which refers to cuticle alignment, virgin hair refers to the unprocessed state. .
What does "lace front wig" primarily refer to?
Silicone resin backing
Sheer lace at the hairline for a natural look
Fully hand-knotted back
Open-weft cap for ventilation
A lace front wig features a sheer lace panel at the hairline, allowing hairs to be hand-tied and appear as if they grow naturally. The rest of the cap may use other construction methods. This design enables styling away from the face. .
Which maintenance advice is correct for human hair wigs?
Store while wet
Wash with sulfate-free shampoo
Use full-strength bleach monthly
Never brush it
Sulfate-free shampoos are gentler and help preserve the integrity and moisture balance of human hair wigs. Harsh detergents can strip natural oils, causing dryness and damage. Always air-dry the wig on a stand and brush gently with a wide-tooth comb. .
True or False: Monofilament wigs allow multi-directional parting at the scalp.
False
True
Monofilament wigs feature a fine mesh at the scalp area where each hair is hand-tied, allowing natural movement and the ability to part the hair in any direction. This mimics natural hair growth more realistically. It is ideal for those seeking a natural look. .
Which fiber is known for being most heat-resistant among synthetics?
Heat-friendly Kanekalon
Basic acrylic
Glass fiber
Pure nylon
Heat-friendly Kanekalon fibers are specially formulated to withstand moderate heat from styling tools up to certain temperatures. They allow curling or straightening while most synthetic fibers would melt or deform. Always verify the maximum safe temperature. .
What is the primary benefit of a full lace wig over other constructions?
Cheapest to produce
No ventilation
Heaviest on the head
Can be parted and styled in any direction
Full lace wigs have a lace cap over the entire head, allowing each hair to be hand-tied anywhere, which enables styling freedom including up-dos. They are lightweight and breathable but more expensive due to labor intensity. This makes them ideal for advanced styling. .
Which term describes synthetic hair that mimics the feel of human hair?
Monofilament fiber
Standard synthetic
High-temperature fiber
Lace-infused fiber
High-temperature synthetic fibers are engineered to resemble human hair's texture, color depth, and styling adaptability. They tolerate moderate heat styling and resist fading. They are a popular mid-range option between regular synthetic and human hair. .
What does "density" refer to in wig terminology?
Hair strand thickness
Cap weight
The amount of hair per square inch on the cap
Lace ply strength
Density in wigs measures how full or thick the hair appears, calculated by the weight of hair per cap area. Common densities range from light (120%) to heavy (200%). Buyers select density based on desired volume and natural look. .
Which wig care tool helps maintain curl pattern in synthetic wigs?
Boar bristle brush
Hot curling iron
Saline spray
Hairnet for overnight storage
A hairnet keeps the curls in place and prevents tangling while a synthetic wig rests. Boar bristle brushes and heat tools are not recommended for most synthetics. Proper storage with a hairnet prolongs style life. .
True or False: Human hair toppers require regular conditioning just like human hair wigs.
True
False
Human hair toppers are made from real hair and thus benefit from the same conditioning treatments to maintain softness and shine. Neglecting conditioning can lead to dryness and split ends. Use a lightweight conditioner to avoid excess weight. .
Which method secures a lace front wig to achieve the most natural hairline?
Metal pins
Thick elastic band only
Medical-grade adhesive
Velcro strip
Medical-grade adhesive bonds the lace front to the skin, creating an undetectable hairline that mimics natural growth. It is generally safe for skin if used correctly. Other mechanical attachments may leave gaps or look less natural. .
What is a common recommended pass mark for professional wig certification quizzes?
90%
70%
50%
100%
A 70% pass mark is commonly used in professional certification to ensure adequate subject mastery without being prohibitive. It balances difficulty and fairness in assessing candidates. Many cosmetology and wig design programs adopt this standard. .
Which feature distinguishes a capless wig's construction?
Rows of wefts sewn onto elastic bands
Silicone-infused cap
Single-layer mesh with hand-tied hair
Sheer lace throughout
Capless wigs are built with wefts sewn onto adjustable elastic bands, allowing for stretch and airflow. This construction makes them quick to produce and lightweight. Lace or hand-tied caps use different methods. .
How can you identify a monofilament top on a wig?
Rows of thick wefts
Firm plastic backing visible
Hair appears to grow directly from the scalp
Heavy-coated lace
Monofilament tops use a fine mesh where each hair is individually hand-tied, creating the illusion of natural hair growth from the scalp. It allows parting in multiple directions. Other constructions show wefts or plastic backing. .
Which removal solvent is safest for lace-front adhesives?
Alcohol-only solvent
Water-based adhesive remover
Acetone
Turpentine
Water-based adhesive removers gently dissolve lace-glue residue without harsh chemicals that can irritate skin. Alcohol or acetone can dry and damage both lace and skin. Always patch-test before full use. .
Which factor most influences a wig's parting versatility?
Fiber color blend
Overall hair density
Cap construction type
Weft thickness
Cap construction (e.g., lace front, monofilament, full lace) dictates where and how the hair can be parted, influencing styling flexibility. Density and other factors impact volume, not parting. Understanding cap types is crucial for styling demands. .
Why is single-drawn hair typically less expensive than double-drawn hair?
Single-drawn is synthetic
Single-drawn includes shorter hairs and less uniform length
Single-drawn is always colored
Single-drawn is pre-curled
Single-drawn hair retains hairs of all lengths, resulting in tapering ends and variable thickness. Double-drawn hair is processed to remove shorter hairs, giving fuller volume and uniform thickness from root to tip, hence higher cost. .
What is the main advantage of a silk top wig compared to a regular lace top?
Always synthetic
Thicker base hides knots completely
Less durable
Better ventilation than lace
Silk top wigs have an additional layer beneath the lace that hides the knots, creating the illusion of hair growing directly from the scalp with no visible perforations. This offers the most natural parting. They may be slightly less breathable than lace but superior in realism. .
Which tool is recommended to detangle a wet human hair wig gently?
Metal pick
Wide-tooth comb
Pin tail comb
Fine-tooth brush
Wide-tooth combs minimize tugging and breakage on wet hair while allowing knots to be gently worked out. Fine-tooth brushes or metal picks can cause pulling and damage. Always start detangling from tips upward. .
Which adhesive technique is best for longevity when wearing a lace front wig for multiple days?
Liquid lace adhesive with tape security
Spray styling gel
Double-sided fashion tape alone
Basic hair gel
Combining liquid lace adhesive with lace tape provides a strong bond and backup security, ensuring the lace front stays in place over several days. Spray gels lack holding power, and fashion tape alone can loosen. Always cleanse the skin for best adhesion. .
Which factor is least important when matching wig cap size?
Head circumference
Ear-to-ear across forehead
Temple-to-nape measurement
Hair color
Hair color does not impact the cap size; fitting focuses on head measurements such as circumference, temple-to-nape length, and ear-to-ear width to ensure comfort and security. A proper fit prevents slippage and irritation. .
Why might a stylist choose a hand-tied wig cap over a machine-wefted cap?
Because it is less labor-intensive
For maximum natural movement and comfort
To increase tension on the scalp
To reduce production cost
Hand-tied caps allow each hair to move independently, mimicking natural hair flow and offering superior comfort. Machine-wefted caps are sturdier and cheaper but less flexible and heavier. Hand-tied caps are ideal for clients needing realistic movement. .
What is the recommended method to refresh curls on a synthetic wig?
Steam with a handheld steamer
Wash with hot water
Brush aggressively
Leave in direct sunlight
Using a handheld steamer lightly reshapes synthetic curls without direct heat contact that could melt fibers. Brushing synthetics will cause frizz; hot water can damage fibers, and sunlight fades color. Steaming is safe and effective. .
Which hair addition is best for subtle volume at the crown?
Clip-in topper
Nape micro-beads
Full wig
Tape-in extensions from root
Clip-in toppers are small pieces designed to add volume to specific areas like the crown without covering the entire head. They clip into existing hair and blend naturally. Full wigs replace all hair and extensions add length more than crown volume. .
How often should a frequently worn human hair wig be deep-conditioned?
Never
Every 6 - 8 wears
Once a year
Daily
Deep-conditioning every 6 - 8 wears replenishes moisture and maintains softness without over-saturating the hair. Over-conditioning can weigh hair down. Between deep treatments, use a light conditioning spray. .
Which characteristic differentiates double-drawn Remy hair from single-drawn Remy hair?
Uniform thickness from root to tip
Synthetic fiber blend
Mixed cuticle directions
Machine-sewn wefts
Double-drawn Remy hair has shorter hairs removed, ensuring each strand is roughly the same length for a full-bodied appearance. Single-drawn retains varying lengths, creating tapering ends. This processing affects density and price. .
What is the primary challenge when ventilating silk top wigs?
Securing hairs through thick silk without damaging it
Avoiding weft visibility
Aligning synthetic fibers
Preventing color bleed
Ventilating silk tops requires pushing hairs through a solid silk layer rather than mesh, demanding precision to avoid ripping the delicate material. The result is an undetectable knot, but the labor is greater. .
Which removal step is crucial to prevent lace damage when taking off a glued lace front?
Soak in hot water
Peel quickly in one motion
Apply remover and wait until glue softens fully
Use acetone without removing bases
Allowing the remover to fully dissolve the adhesive ensures the lace can gently lift off without tearing. Rushed removal risks ripping delicate lace or losing hair knots. Always work edge to center. .
In custom wig making, why is blocking the lace wig cap to a mannequin head important?
To bond wefts permanently
To stretch and shape the cap to head measurements
To fix hair density
To color the lace evenly
Blocking stretches and shapes the cap to the precise dimensions of the wearer's head, ensuring a snug fit and accurate hair placement. It also aids in styling and ensures symmetry during ventilation. .
Which technique reduces shedding in hand-tied wig caps?
Increasing weft tension
Securing knots with a thin layer of adhesive glue
Using thicker thread for tying
Applying talcum powder
Applying a small amount of wig-safe adhesive over hand-tied knots can lock hairs in place without affecting natural movement. Thicker thread or tension can stress the cap and lead to breakage. Adhesive reinforces knot security. .
What is a primary indicator of high-quality virgin Chinese hair used in wigs?
Mixed color strands
Excessive taper at ends
Fine cuticles with natural shine and uniformity
Synthetic coating for durability
High-quality virgin Chinese hair shows intact cuticles, a natural sheen, and consistent strand thickness. Synthetic coatings mask true quality. Tapered ends suggest drawn processing or mixing lengths. .
Why might a stylist use a steamer instead of a flat iron on a human hair wig?
To gently remove wrinkles without direct heat damage
To curl the hair
To remove dye
To bleach the hair fibers
Steam relaxes and smooths hair fibers gently, reducing frizz and flattening creases without the high direct heat of a flat iron, which can damage cuticles. It's ideal for maintaining fiber integrity. .
In blending human hair extensions with natural hair, what is the key to a seamless look?
Installing extensions only at the back
Matching tone, texture, and density precisely
Using any color if the cut is precise
Brushing extensions heavily
Precise matching of color tone, texture (wave or straight), and density ensures that extensions blend invisibly with natural hair. Poor matches lead to obvious transitions. Consultation and sampling are essential. .
Which color technique helps achieve a natural-looking ombre on a lace front wig?
All-over single-process dye
Dip dye at the tips only
Highlights at the roots
Balayage hand-painting
Balayage hand-painting allows the colorist to create soft, graduated transitions that mimic natural sun-kissed growth. Uniform dyes or dip methods yield harsh lines. Balayage can be tailored to the wig's hair movement. .
What is the advantage of using micro-loop tape-in extensions over traditional tape-ins?
Heavier weight per strand
Stronger hold for months
No adhesive needed, reducing damage on removal
Easier coloring process
Micro-loop tape-ins use tiny loops to thread the hair without glue, making them gentler on natural hair and simpler to remove without leftover adhesive. Their hold is good but less damaging. .
Which diagnostic method verifies a wig's fiber composition?
Burn test on fiber sample
Tensile strength squeeze
Visual color check
Smell test only
A burn test differentiates human hair from synthetic by observing ash and odor characteristics; human hair burns slowly with a distinct smell, while synthetics melt and smoke. Tensile or visual checks are inconclusive. .
When ventilating a lace closure, why is strand direction critical?
To speed up knotting
To increase ventilation holes
To reduce lace transparency
To mimic natural hair growth patterns accurately
Correct strand direction recreates the way hair naturally grows from the scalp, ensuring that the closure blends seamlessly and appears realistic. Incorrect direction can reveal the lace or look unnatural. .
Which factor most determines the shelf life of stored synthetic wigs?
Exposure to sunlight and dust
Cap size
Number of styling clips
Frequency of brushing
Prolonged UV exposure fades and weakens synthetic fibers, while dust can cause build-up and tangling over time. Proper storage in a box or breathable bag away from light keeps synthetic wigs in best condition. .
Why is adjusting the weft tension important when hand-making a wig cap?
To stretch the lace width
To color the wefts
To speed up knotting
To balance cap elasticity and hair density
Proper weft tension ensures the cap stretches comfortably while supporting the correct amount of hair density. Too tight causes discomfort and distortion; too loose leads to gaps and shedding. .
What microscopic test confirms whether a hair fiber is human or synthetic?
Colorfastness under UV light
Elasticity stretch test
Cuticle scale pattern examination
Thermal conductivity test
Under a microscope, human hair shows a distinctive cuticle scale pattern, while synthetic fibers have smooth surfaces or uniform cross-sections. This test provides definitive identification. .
In ventilating a 360 lace wig, what is the main complication compared to a front lace wig?
Applying tape under the cap
Skipping the crown area
Maintaining consistent knot size around the entire perimeter
Aligning lace color only at the front
A 360 lace wig requires hand-tying hairs around the entire hairline, demanding uniform knotting to ensure even density and natural flow all around. Front-only lace concentrates efforts at the hairline. .
Which chemical treatment permanently alters natural curl pattern in hair additions at a molecular level?
Protein conditioning mask
Silicone coating
Thio-based chemical relaxers or perms
Color glossing
Thio-based treatments break and reform disulfide bonds in the hair cortex, enabling permanent curl or straight pattern changes. Glosses and conditioners do not alter molecular structure. .
When performing a strand-by-strand ventilation on a silk base, what knotting method minimizes lace perforation?
Machine single-stitch knot
Cluster knot tying
Double knot for security
Single knot with minimal tension
Using single, low-tension knots reduces stress on the silk, preventing large holes or tears while securing the hair. Double or machine knots increase lace wear. .

Cheat Sheet

  1. Understanding Remy Hair -

    Remy hair features all cuticles aligned in one direction from root to tip, minimizing tangling and ensuring longevity (source: Society of Hair Testing). A helpful mnemonic is "RAM" - Remy Aligns Motifs - to recall cuticle alignment. True statements about Remy hair include its ability to accept color treatments evenly without shaft damage.

  2. Identifying Fashion Hairpieces -

    Fashion hairpieces often use synthetic fibers treated to mimic human hair texture, offering budget-friendly styling options (source: Journal of Cosmetology). Remember "SYN's the Limit" to associate synthetic pieces with versatility in color but lower heat resistance. An accurate statement is that synthetic pieces can retain their style after washing but cannot usually be heat-styled.

  3. Cap Wig vs Capless Wig Structures -

    Cap wigs have a solid mesh base that secures hair wefts for uniform density, while capless wigs use open wefting for better breathability and lighter weight (source: Professional Beauty Association). Use the "Solid Shell vs Open Net" formula to recall structural differences. Clients with sensitive scalps often prefer capless designs for increased airflow.

  4. Proper Wig Placement -

    When putting the wig on the client, start at the nape of the neck and gently slide the cap forward to the front hairline for a snug, natural fit (source: Pivot Point International). This "Back-to-Front" method helps align the wig's ear tabs and hairline. Always adjust tension straps last to avoid pressure points.

  5. Styling Techniques for Natural Appearance -

    Excessive backcombing or heavy hairspray can make a wig look less natural by adding bulk and stiffness around the crown (source: International Journal of Trichology). A simple formula is "Less Tease + Lighter Hold = Lifelike Flow" to maintain movement. Opt for low-shine products and finger-styling to preserve realistic hair behavior.
