Sample TX Hair Weaving Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your TX Hair Weaving exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 299+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which of the following is the most traditional weft attachment method that uses needle and thread on a cornrow base?
A.Fusion bond
B.Sew-in weave
C.Tape-in extension
D.Microlink
Explanation: A sew-in weave (also called a track weave) is the traditional method in which wefts of hair are stitched onto a cornrowed base using a curved needle and weaving thread. It does not use heat, glue, or beads.
2Microlink (also called microbead or i-tip) extensions are secured to the client's natural hair using which tool?
A.Curved needle and weaving thread
B.Heat-fusion wand
C.Microlink pliers and silicone-lined beads
D.Pressure-activated tape strips
Explanation: Microlink extensions are attached by threading a small section of natural hair plus an i-tip strand through a silicone-lined micro-bead, then clamping the bead closed with microlink pliers. No heat or adhesive is used.
3Which weaving method uses keratin tips that are melted around natural hair strands?
A.Tape-in
B.Sew-in
C.Fusion bond
D.Glue-in
Explanation: Fusion (hot fusion) bonding uses pre-tipped keratin-protein bonds. A heated fusion connector softens the keratin around a small section of natural hair, then the stylist rolls the bond to form a cylindrical attachment that cools and hardens.
4Tape-in extensions are typically sandwiched around a section of natural hair using how many tape wefts per attachment point?
A.One weft pressed to the scalp
B.Two wefts (top and bottom) sandwiching the natural hair
C.Four wefts stacked together
D.Six wefts woven through a track
Explanation: Tape-in extensions use two adhesive wefts placed sticky-side-toward-each-other with a thin section of the client's hair sandwiched between them. The bond is activated with pressure (and sometimes a heated clamp).
5Which extension method is generally considered the least healthy for fragile or chemically processed hair because it requires solvent removal?
A.Sew-in with braid base
B.Microlink (no heat, no glue)
C.Glue-in (adhesive bonded directly to scalp/hair)
D.Clip-in
Explanation: Glue-in extensions bond adhesive directly to the natural hair and sometimes the scalp. Removal requires solvent and can damage fragile or chemically processed hair, so most stylists recommend lower-risk methods for compromised hair.
6When installing a sew-in, why is it important not to braid the cornrow foundation too tightly at the hairline?
A.It increases install time
B.Tight braids at the hairline can cause traction alopecia
C.Loose braids hold thread better
D.Tight braids prevent shedding
Explanation: Excessive tension at the hairline pulls on the hair follicles and can cause traction alopecia, a progressive hair loss. TDLR sanitation/practice guidance and salon best practices both call for moderate tension.
7What is the primary benefit of using a closure or frontal piece with a sew-in install?
A.It eliminates the need for shampoo
B.It blends the install at the parting/hairline and reduces leave-out
C.It increases the lifespan to over six months
D.It allows the use of higher heat
Explanation: A lace closure or frontal provides a realistic parting/hairline and lets the stylist install a full weave without leaving out any of the client's own hair, which reduces heat exposure to that hair.
8Compared to traditional fusion, what is a key feature of cold fusion (ultrasonic) bonding?
A.Uses higher temperatures than hot fusion
B.Uses ultrasonic vibration to soften keratin without high heat
C.Uses adhesive glue and no keratin
D.Uses braid bases only
Explanation: Cold fusion (ultrasonic) systems use vibration to soften keratin bonds without high heat, which reduces thermal stress on the client's natural hair compared with traditional hot fusion.
9Approximately how long do high-quality tape-in extensions typically remain in place before they must be re-taped?
A.1 week
B.4 to 8 weeks
C.6 months
D.1 year
Explanation: Tape-in extensions are typically maintained every 4 to 8 weeks. As the natural hair grows, the wefts move down and must be removed, the natural hair brushed clean, and the wefts re-taped or replaced.
10Which method most directly attaches wefts to the scalp using adhesive and is therefore prohibited or restricted in some salons for safety reasons?
A.Sew-in
B.Bonding (glue) of weft directly to scalp
C.Microlink
D.Clip-in
Explanation: Direct scalp bonding (glue-in to the scalp) carries higher risk of scalp irritation, allergic reaction, and hair loss on removal. Many stylists install glue-in only to a track of natural hair, not directly on the scalp.
