OBSERVATION

The question was well attempted by majority of the candidates. They were able to state the uses of the hair pieces labelled X and Z, mention safety precautions of caring for hair piece labelled Y and enumerate factors to be considered when purchasing hair pieces. This question was very well tackled and is one of the candidates’ strengths. Therefore they  performed excellently. However, few candidates were not able to answer the ‘a’& ‘b’ part correctly. The expected answers are:
 (a) IDENTIFICATION OF THE TYPES OF HAIR PIECES LABELLED V, W, X, Y AND Z
V – A wig
W – Fall
X – Cascade
Y – Wiglet
Z – Bandeau

(b) DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HAIR PIECES LABELLED VAND Y
