Pressing the hair twice with more pressure and heat during a hair pressing service is referred to as a:

• A. Soft press
• B. Normal press
• C. Hard press
• D. Light press

Answer: (C)

Hard press is the technique where higher heat and greater pressure are applied, often with an extra pass, to straighten curl more aggressively. Pressing the hair twice with more pressure and heat fits this approach because it intentionally increases the heat and pressure beyond a standard pass to remove very stubborn curl. A soft press uses lighter heat and pressure, a normal press uses standard heat and pressure, and a light press would be gentler still, so they don’t achieve the same level of straightening as a hard press.
