What condition would PREVENT a cosmetologist from performing a service on a client?

  1. Tinea Capitus

  2. Oily scalp

  3. Split ends

  4. Dry hair

The correct answer is: Tinea Capitus

Tinea Capitus is a fungal infection that can cause hair loss and itching. It is highly contagious and can be spread through direct contact with contaminated objects or surfaces. Therefore, a cosmetologist would not be able to perform a service on a client with this condition in order to prevent spreading it to other clients or themselves. Oily scalp, split ends, and dry hair are all common hair conditions that can be addressed and treated by a cosmetologist during a service.
