Which of the following are the two types of thermal pressing?

• A. Mild press and strong press
• B. Gentle press and firm press
• C. Soft press and hard press
• D. Light press and deep press

Answer: (C)

In thermal pressing, how much curl you remove depends on the level of pressing you use. A soft press means applying lighter pressure and usually fewer passes, giving a gentler straightening that relaxes the curl without fully flattening it. A hard press uses stronger pressure and more passes to remove more curl and achieve a straighter result. That’s why soft press and hard press are the two recognized types. The other term combinations aren’t standard classifications in barber practice.
