Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.
How do the LA Alt Hair Design vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 20 LA Alt Hair Design terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.
Where do the LA Alt Hair Design terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the LA State Board of Cosmetology content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
How many hours of training are required for the LA Alternative Hair Design license?
Louisiana requires 500 hours of training at an LSBC-approved school before sitting for the alternative hair design exam. This is significantly less than the 1,500 hours required for a full cosmetology license.
What is the passing score for the LA Alternative Hair Design exam?
Candidates must score at least 70% on both the written and practical portions of the LSBC exam to be licensed. The practical has four timed phases totaling 100 minutes: a 3-strand over braid (15), cornrows with a sew-in extension (30), bonded extension addition and removal (30), and feed-in braided extensions (25).
