Washing Hair

In any treatment it's important to always complete a client consultation before you begin. There are different types and textures of hair and you should be aware of all of the these and how you should treat them. 

Once this has been completed you can begin the treatment... 

• Sit your client down and make sure they are covered with a gown and a towel round the neck to prevent water from going down the neck and back
• Check the temperature of the water on your arm before putting it straight onto the clients head as it could be boiling hot and burn them!
• Rinse the hair thoroughly and apply your first application of shampoo
• Start at the top of the head and make your way down to the ends of the hair, don't pile the hair on top of the head as it will knot! Rub the hair in between your hands to get all the product through
• If the hair is quite dirty you may need another application of shampoo, if the hair squeaks when you run your fingers through it that means it's clean!
• The next step is to condition the hair, take a generous amount and apply it through the whole head and ends of the hair 
• Massage the scalp to make the client relaxed as all treatments should be! 
• You should then comb through the hair while the conditioner is still on, this will make brushing the hair easier later on
• Rinse the hair ensuring all the product has been removed then gently squeeze the ends of the hair to get rid of excess water
• Place the towel from around the clients shoulders around the head and you are complete!
