Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is a slang term for a hairpiece for men?

Answer: Rug

The term "rug" often is used for a hairpiece that is not well made or poorly-fitting.
2. How do you spell a foam preparation used to increase hair's volume?

Answer: Mousse

"Mousse" is, in fact, the French word for "foam". Prior to the invention of the hair care product, it referred to a light and fluffy chocolate dessert.
3. One salon technique that adds length and thickness to hair is known as what?

Answer: Weave

Weaving is a procedure that can take several hours. The person's hair is completely braided close to the head, after which the beauty operator actually sews hair into the braids with a needle. Weaves can last several weeks and require special shampoos and conditioners. They can be created of either natural or synthetic hair, and they are often very expensive.
4. Related to the procedure in the previous question but not identical to it, what is the term used to describe hair added to one's natural hair secured by clips or adhesives?

Answer: Extensions

Extensions can be applied to hair in a number of ways, but the two most common are with adhesives or clips. Either of these can be damaging to the person's hair, and extensions are very costly because of the time needed to attach fibers to single strands of hair. Several hundred individual extensions may be needed to complete the look.
5. A 21st-century procedure for adding hair follicles to one's head is similar to what asexual reproductive process?

Answer: Cloning

Hair can actually be cloned by taking a hair whose follicle cells are capable of growth, reproducing it in vitro, and when implanting the new hairs into the scalp. The technique, although quite new, is very promising and may even someday provide a cure for baldness and thinning hair.

The sheep in the photo is meant to suggest Dolly, the first cloned animal.
6. A partial wig that is used to add length to one's hair is known as what?

Answer: Fall

Falls come in a variety of styles. Most allow the front of the wearer's head to be seen, with the hair blended into the fall, which can be secured to the head with combs. A nice feature of a fall is, it allows better ventilation than a full wig. One of the most common complaint about wigs is that they're uncomfortably hot to wear.
7. If your hair is thin, what type of cut is often recommended to make its sparsity less evident?

Answer: Layering

Layering refers to the practice of cutting hair in different lengths to achieve both longer length and fullness. It works well in many cases, especially if a person'a hair is curly or wavy, however, thinning straight hair may be better styled with a blunt cut.

The photo is of a layered cake.
8. Hair transplants became possible in the 1950s. What term identified the individual units of hair implanted in one's scalp?

Answer: Plugs

"Plugs" were composed of groups of hair follicles a few millimeters around. They were somewhat successful in replacing hair in areas where it had stopped growing, but the results somewhat resembled the appearance of dolls' hair-small clumps at regularly spaced intervals on the head. Surgeons have spent much time and effort on reducing the size of each group of hairs to be transplanted, resulting in smaller individual incisions in the scalp and a more natural appearance once the transplanted hair grows out.
9. Backcombing hair is a procedure used to make hair look fuller or to achieve height in a hairstyle. What's the common term for this technique?

Answer: tease

Teasing hair used to be an everyday process for millions of women back in the mid-20th century. Beehive hairdos are created by teasing the hair, then combing the hair smoothe on the top of the teased area. The teasing creates knots of hair and causes follicles to split, resulting in significant damage, but it is effective in making it look like the person has more hair than they really do, and it's inexpensive and can be done at home.

The photo is a homophone of the answer-depicting T's.
10. Buns are a style that often conceal something used in their creation. One term for it is a "rat". What's another?

Answer: Doughnut

"Doughnuts", or "bun rats", are circular forms used to create buns-basically, the hair is put into a high pony tail, the doughnut is positioned at the top or the back of the head, and the hair is wound around it, covering the doughnut. Hairpins are used to secure the doughnut in place.
