Texas Class A Barber Written ExamHaircutting and StylingMedium

  1. AThermal curling
  2. BFinger waving
  3. CFlat wrapping
  4. DBeveling
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D. Beveling

Beveling is a blow-drying technique using a round brush to create a soft, rounded movement and volume, typically by turning the ends of the hair under or over. It's ideal for adding curve and fullness to a style.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Thermal curling involves using heated tools (like curling irons) to create curls, not necessarily a blow-dry technique for rounded ends.
  • B. Finger waving is a classic styling technique that creates S-shaped waves using fingers and a comb, not a round brush and blow dryer.
  • C. Flat wrapping is a molding technique used to create a smooth, straight, or slightly curved finish, often without much volume.
