Where is a hard-rubber or nonflammable comb positioned when curling the hair for a thermal design?

• A. Between the curling iron and the scalp
• B. On top of the head
• C. Behind the neck
• D. Under the chin

Answer: (A)

Placing a hard-rubber comb between the curling iron and the scalp creates a protective barrier that blocks direct heat from reaching the scalp. It also helps lift and separate the hair so you can wrap it smoothly around the barrel, giving you more control and an even curl. Placing the comb in any other position would fail to protect the scalp and would make curling awkward or unsafe, since the heat would be closer to the skin and you’d have less control over the hair.
