If you wait until your scalp burns (A), you're causing damage and potentially ruining the style. Removing them too early (C) won't allow the curl to set. Your dressing routine (D) is unrelated to the hair's chemical process.

Multiple choice general knowledge
  1. Petroleum jelly

  2. Flavored

  3. Cocoa Butter

  4. Tinted

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Cocoa butter is an excellent emollient that creates a protective barrier on lips, preventing moisture loss and chapping. Petroleum jelly can also protect but may not be as nourishing. Flavored lip balms often contain irritating ingredients that encourage licking, and tinted balms prioritize color over protection.
