Reading the National Cosmo Practical Examination Candidate Information Bulletin it looks like they took out the Relaxer Retouch as of July 2016. Thank you so so much for all the information you provide! Good luck to everybody getting for their tests!

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

We used to do the paper on the other side for the exam before it changed in September: you can still do that, if you want, or have been taught that way.

[@dolledupcowgirl]

California (don't know if it's different in other states) Front right - Virgin Lightener Back right - Tint (color) Retouch Back Left - Virgin Relaxer Front left - Relaxer Retouch Going to state board December 16th!

[@LisaNicoleWyatt]

It's like this in Arizona too! Thanks for commenting the sections! (: Good luck! My date is next week on December fourth!

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

***** Good luck with your test!

[@LisaNicoleWyatt]

BeautyHealthTravel Thanks so much! Your videos are helping a ton!♥

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

***** You welcome!

[@KeilanaXO]

I noticed she said it doesn't matter. It definitely does in California.

[@tiffanywilliams1483]

wish me luck going for Louisiana state board tomorrow

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

+Tiffany Williams Good luck! How did you do?

[@MrPrettygirlswagg90]

stateboard in three days. I'm so nervous yet excited

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

Good luck!

[@MrPrettygirlswagg90]

+BeautyHealthTravel thank you

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

Good question! At this time, for California test we only apply protective cream around the hairline. We used to base the hairline and the scalp before, but now we only do it for real clients, not at state board.

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

@LillyFromTheBlock1 Thank you for your tip on cholesterol cream; yes, it is more slippery and it is hard to work with.

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

@luvNique4ever Yes, it is considered a color (the virgin hair to lighten) and it is the same application as the relaxer; easy. I had to memorize all 5 color applications for my test; you guys are lucky!

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

It is better to part the hair for haircutting for control; section the hair to 4 sections, and you can leave the guideline. There is a state board haircutting video in this channel, it will help you to do the procedure. Look for Haircut for state board test: razor and scissors

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

@taniamgranados You're right, their instructions said 1/4 inch off the scalp, but that is slightly anyway.

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

@shakeenbake777 Yes, one color and retouch, relaxer and retouch, and a perm; separately.

[@MsBlackboxes]

Thank you for doing the demo because this answer my question about the smoothing of the hair this demo would apply to Utah too. This demo give me more confidence for Utah State board.

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

@TheJuJuBeebb For California, haircut is done by establishing a razor guideline on the nape are, and layering up the back section with razor, followed by the scissors. Don't worry about the precision, although they check it, it is only worth 2 points. Yes, you need to practice, but it doesn't mean that your teachers need to terrify you with a Vidal Sassoon result. Just layer haircut; first with razors, then with scissors. I will try to do a brief video, but, please, give me time.

[@lildice830]

Texas. .. Front left 1/8 retouch, back left 1/2 no base relaxer, back right 1/4 virgen tint

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

Do the razor cut on wet hair, cut above your fingers, and follow your guide. Also check the kit companies and training offered by them for Virginia State Board.

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

@salvacaballos Thank you so much for your advice and the insight of the exam. Congratulations on getting your cosmetology license! Best of luck with your career.

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

@TheJuJuBeebb You welcome!

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

For state boards that adapted NIC test procedures; California is one of them.

[@desireep1675]

its not four sections and then "any way you like". You start at the front right side section with :virgin tint to lightening, then back right side: color retouch. Then the back left is next with virgin relaxer, then left front is relaxer retouch. So you start on the right and go back to front. Just FYI

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

Once you are done, you are done applying, so don't worry about the gloves.

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

@TheRocknrollqueen19 Afterwards. First finish the whole procedure, and let the examiner watch you smooth the relaxer retouch, and then place the implements in the soiled implement container. You don't have to sanitize them, just place them in the container and cover the lid. Easy, yes?

[@EsenciaDeMujer0530]

Good luck Danielles..... i didn't know they give it on Saturdays..... i am getting ready myself.

[@TheRocknrollqueen19]

I totally agreeeee with the last comment I find this sooooooooooooo helpful pls pls pls keep uploading more of stateboard pls

[@vanitanicolas4917]

I would like to see the relaxer place on with an application bottle... I think its an ideal way to self- relax w/o overlap.

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

Shaving cream works better for me, since it is not so heavy as cholesterol.

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

thanks

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

You welcome!

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

We do that in California: one mannequin and 4 sections

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

Only one is enough if it has the right length; usually shoulder length mannequin.

[@peterbui128]

Super super appericate this!!!!!!!! your a better help then my teacher, please continue to upload ^_^!!!!! your super awsome!!!

[@TheRocknrollqueen19]

@BeautyHealthTravel pls keep making vids they are so helpful (stateboard)

[@nizaikoupnext150]

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

good luck

[@silviarosales4475]

Me gustaria k alguien haga todo el examen ptactico completo pa las personas .k aplican x experiencia.las de emos ser empoderadas tambien .gracias todo bien ecplicado y pas a paso.

[@jpfarris33]

I gotta be the asshole and ask everybody WHY this is on my BARBER exam?!?!?

[@GsAngelErica]

This was very helpful. I live in Missouri and I would like to know do we have to use one mannequin for our virgin color/color retouch and virgin relaxer/relaxer retouch

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

@TheRocknrollqueen19 OK

[@luvNique4ever]

so the virgin hair lighting is not considered a bleach but a color? so apply the virgin hair lightening application the same way as we would the virgin hair relaxer right? 1/2 in away from the scalp up to not including the last 1 inch of hair

[@mamamoon.x]

Wish me luck I am going for my Massachusetts state board this Saturday!

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

Good luck! I didn't know they had testing on Saturdays.

[@Tschmeez]

how is that a retouch? its not on the scalp

[@XoXo_Dezi]

i sing sometimes , you can not put a relaxer on the scalp, it will give the client chemical burns.

[@elliemckenna3089]

Dezi Lue that’s the whole point of a retouch tho

[@tgsweets]

Please be careful when you tell others that it does not matter which side you apply because here in Missouri, color and relaxer is exclusive to one side and if you get it wrong you will fail. Good video however.

[@sherriecooper5265]

exactly! you have to know which section

[@tgsweets]

Sherrie Cooper Yep!!

[@shanecauser7331]

Confirmed. Because here in North Carolina you must memorize which side to do what. and if you complete the wrong process on the wrong quadrant they will deduct major pointa

[@tgsweets]

+Christina Nguyen yes I do, you need to know?

[@tgsweets]

+Christina Nguyen right front is virgin color, right back color retouch, left front is relaxer retouch, and left back is virgin replaxer.

[@Hypenotik760]

please show the sections you are working on, i cant tell from the video whether you are working at the front or the back of the head:(

[@desperationtrain]

should there be a bonnet or a sma paper on the other side to protect the rest of the hair instead of laying the saturated hair over the other side ?

[@misscoleone]

thanks so much for the info

[@Jennyballoons]

I'm nervous tomorrow I will have my state board 😬

[@bethz7094]

Hello, I have my test coming up in a couple weeks. I was trained the old way so i had a couple questions. How often do you redrape the client? Do you wet the hair in the sink at all or just with a water bottle? Do you rinse or wet hair after color or relaxer of do you just leave it and move to a different section? Thanks for your videos, They have definitely made me more confident in re learning this.

[@TheJuJuBeebb]

WOW THANK YOU SO MUCH your the best =)

[@MsClaudia55]

So when you step back for the relaxer retouch, do you keep same gloves on and wait till she comes to ask to show smoothing? Or do we throw away gloves from Aplication, and when she comes put new gloves??

[@poshbaker]

I was Sassoon trained, and we aren't allowed to razor cut, but now will be taking the practical in Virginia, how exactly do they want the cut done?

[@TheRocknrollqueen19]

Ps no strand test n do we clean our implements before the instructor makes us demonstrate the smoothing part of the exam or after?????

[@taniamgranados]

huh i thought that they said slighty off the scalp???

[@gallardohairstudio9934]

Wish me luck . April 28 / 16 . this do this ...

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

+www.Gallardohairdesign.com Best of luck to you tomorrow!

[@ilikecupcakeee]

What product are u using to apply? Shampoo? What works best? I feel like conditioner is too slippery . Your videos are the best!

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

Thank you: I am using shaving cream for state board test.

[@shakeenbake777]

so this will be the only color on the test virigin relaxer/retouch and the chemical straightening or perm?

[@DallasCityGurl]

She is applying 1 inch not 1/2 from scalp.

[@luvNique4ever]

Thankyou !!! so no strand test?

[@sammysanzen]

STATEBOARD TOMORROW AHHH

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

Good luck!

[@tenzintsetan5155]

hey can somebody tell me why they leave ends without applying product

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

Because the ends are porous and will get damaged fast, so the product is applied to the ends last.

[@sumynguyen4666]

How many mannequins do you need for the entire NIC cosmetology test 2013?

[@JG-hy8kv]

thanks again for all your videos happy new yea=)

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

Thank you! Happy New Year to you too!

[@barbr316]

Loving your pink ring...:)

[@mandiethemenace971]

can someone please tell me how hard the state board is? i just did the relaxer retouch and virgin bleach and it took me like 25 minutes for both and i’m fairly certain i failed it

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

Just keep practicing, and visit your state's board website for information on timing. The more you practice and visualize that you have passed the test, the more confident you will feel. Good luck!

[@sueliriccio1274]

where I can find this instructions, because I'm out of State and was graduated in 1978, please help me , my test is in August 29

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

You can find them at the official state board website in a pdf form. We have the procedures at this site, too, but they are in segments for each one. We also have the whole theory class and the tests; look them up in our playlists. Good luck!

[@sueliriccio1274]

Thank you so very much.

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

You welcome!

[@TheJuJuBeebb]

HI So i can still do round layer for state board right? does anything change at all? can you do brief video about haircuting please?

[@honeygreenn5033]

Is this updated for 2016 state board barber testing?

[@caseysmith1325]

Is this what they are looking for in every state? I worry about how long to spend on each step

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

casey smith On the website for your state's state board they would have some instructions for students, and it will arrive in your appointment letter also, so please check your state's website for state board, and if you have kit companies there, they would help, too.

[@amandafink5539]

Do you guys do the 4 sections. One is relaxer one is color or highlights or a than one would be the cut or perm etc.... I'm taken my Pennsylvania boards on the 10th of Feb.. I have to retest so I'm going in it on a pray. The beauty schools around here will not give me this info.. All I know is they do 4 sections and u get 8 out of 14 things.. If anyone can help please let me know asap.. Tyvm..

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

This works for California; one section is for color, one for color re-touch, one for relaxer, and the last one for relaxer-retouch. If you want to know for sure what works for your state, visit their website; also visit the kit companies providing practical test kits; they usually have free classes once you rent their kit.

[@amandafink5539]

I contacted a Kit company they didn't offer any class sadly. I passed the written with your videos. I feel good about taken the test I'm not one for surprises.. I haven't tested in 17 yes. Keep the videos updated there awesome and have help greatly..

[@meganseizetheworld8309]

Is this the requirements for all states or a specific state? TIA

[@lindamaxie5235]

Does this application apply to black hair too

[@BeautyHealthTravel]

Yes, this applies to anyone who has curly hair and wants to make it straight.
