Hair Design State Board Practice Exam

The process that creates mass or fullness by turning up the ends of small sections of hair is best described by the technique of a cascade curl. In this technique, the hair is curled in such a way that it not only enhances the body and volume but also allows the curls to fall in a cascading manner, creating a layered effect. This not only gives fullness to the hair but can also provide a more dynamic and soft look as the curls intermingle.

Though other techniques like rollers, pincurls, and barrel curls are used to create curls and waves, their effects and styling methods differ from the distinct layering and volume created through the cascade curl technique. For instance, rollers can provide curls but may not always achieve the same degree of cascading volume, and barrel curls might not necessarily allow for the same layered effect that characterizes cascade curls. Understanding these differences in technique helps in achieving the desired hairstyle effectively.
