Red Seal Cosmetology Practice Exam

What is backcombing also known as?

Slithering Teasing, ratting, matting, or French lacing On base Clipper over comb

Correct Answer:

Teasing, ratting, matting, or French lacing

Explanation:

Backcombing is a technique used to create volume and texture in hair. It involves combing the hair upwards towards the scalp in order to create tangles and knots, which can then be secured with hairspray or other styling products. This technique is also known as teasing, ratting, matting, or French lacing. Option A, "slithering," is a hair cutting technique and not synonymous with backcombing. Option C, "on base," refers to a specific way of wrapping hair around a roller or curling iron and is not the same as backcombing. Option D, "clipper over comb," is another hair cutting technique that does not involve backcombing. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
