Which area of hair design focuses on shaping while the hair is wet?

• A. Wet design
• B. Thermal design
• C. Finishing design
• D. Chemical design

Answer: (A)

Shaping the hairstyle while the hair is wet is all about molding and sculpting the form while the strands are damp, when they are most pliable. In this stage you use your hands, combs, and shaping tools to establish precise lines, curves, and overall silhouette before the hair dries or is set. Wet hair holds its shape well, so you can create clean, accurate patterns and even distribution of length during this process. That focus on forming and defining the structure in its damp state is why this area is called wet design.

Thermal design involves setting shapes with heat after or during styling, finishing design targets the final texture and polish after the main form is created, and chemical design uses chemical services to change the hair’s structure.
