SHAMPOOING

Shampooing the hair is an important preliminary step for various hair

treatments. The importance of a good shampoo should not be underestimated. The
reputation for good shampooing builds friendly relationships with the patrons and
is the foundation for future business.
Shampoos are preparations for cleaning the hair and scalp.
A shampoo is given both for sanitary reasons and to obtain better results in
relation to other hair works. The purpose of a shampoo is to cleanse the hair and
scalp. A shampoo to be effective, must remove all dirt, oils, cosmetics present and
the skin debris from the scalp and hair shaft, without adversely affecting either the
scalp or hair. Unless the scalp and hair are cleansed regularly, the accumulation of
oil and perspiration which when mixed with natural scales and dirt offers a
breeding place for disease producing bacteria. Permitting this condition to exist can
lead to a scalp disorder.
 Hair should be shampooed as often as necessary depending on
how quickly the scalp and hair become soiled.

 As a general rule, oily hair should be shampooed more often than

normal or dry hair.

SELECTING THE CORRECT SHAMPOO

To make an intelligent choice of shampoo, the cosmetologist should know the
composition and action of the shampoo and whether it will do an effective job. To
obtain this information, carefully read the label and its shampooing literature.

REQUIRED MATERIALS AND IMPLEMENTS

Before giving a shampoo, gather all necessary materials and implements.
There is nothing more annoying to the patron than to have the hairdresser wet her
hair and leave her stranded, while she dashes out to get shampoo or other
necessities. Required materials and implements are:
 Neck strip
 Towels
 Shampoo cape
 Comb and hair brush
 Shampoo
 Hair rinse

HAIR BRUSHING
Brushing should always be a part of both shampoo and scalp treatments with
the following exceptions:
 Do not brush before giving a lightening treatment.
 Do not brush before the application of tint.
 Do not brush before giving a permanent wave.
 Do not brush if scalp is irritated.

Brushing stimulates the scalp, helps remove dust and dirt fro hair and gives
added sheen. Stimulation of the scalp, by brushing, helps to normalize the oil glands.
The hair should receive thorough brushing whether the scalp and hair is dry or in
oily condition. The comb should not be used to loosen scales from the scalp; it
should always be used in disentangling the hair. To brush the hair, first part it
through the center from front hairline to neck. Now part a section about a quarter
inch from the center parting to the crown of the head. Holding this strand of hair in
the left hand between the thumb and fingers, lay the brush (held in the right hand)
with the bristles against the scalp; sweep the bristles the full length of the hair,
turning the wrist slightly in doing so, and sweep to the ends of the hair. Repeat three
times. Then part again, a quarter inch from the first parting and continue until the
entire head has been brushed.

TOWEL DRYING THE HAIR

 After a shampooing and rinse, the hair may be towel dried.
 Remove excess moisture at the shampoo board. Drape towel over the patron’s
head. Massage the scalp over the towel with the palm and fingers of both hands in a
circular motion until the hair is almost dry. Comb the hair free of snarls, or tangles,
starting with the ends of the hair at the back of the head.
SHAMPOOING PROCEDURE

I. INTRODUCTION
Shampooing is the process of cleansing the hair and scalp from the dirt and
dust present on it. A thorough shampooing of the hair removes dirt, dandruff, or

DRYING HAIR TO SHAPE AND TO CREATE A FINISHED LOOK

Drying Hair Principles

Drying hair is the process of styling wet hair while blow-drying it.
Using a hand-held dryer, you use a variety of techniques to create different effects.
While directing heated air on to the wet hair, you mould the hair with brushes, use a
comb or your fingers, and positioning it to fit the style for which you have cut it.
Like other methods of setting wet hair, blow styling works by changing the
hair structure. While hair is wet, and heat is applied, it can be molded into a chosen
shape. The style is only temporary, though. As the hair gradually absorbs moisture
from the atmosphere, it returns to its original shape. Combing styled hair with hot
water returns the hair to its natural form straight away.

Heat Molding Techniques

Heat can be applied to hair in other ways:
 To wave it using irons
 To curl it using tongs
 To crimp it using heated crimpers
 To straighten it using hot combs or hot brushes

Like other methods, these techniques depend on the softening effect of heat.
The molded hair must be allowed to cool before it will hold its shape. If you comb
through it while it is still warm, you will lose or distort the shape. Hair molded in
this way returns to its natural state if combed with hot water.

Blow Styling Techniques

The technique you choose will be determined by the hair texture,
the quality and quantity of hair, the style to be produced and the cut.
The most suitable hair for blow styling is firm, thick, and coarse hair.
These are additional styling aids –
 Thickeners
 Setting mousses and gels

These are designed to give directions to the hair. Fine and fluffy hair requires
the help of one of these if you are to obtain successful results.

BLOW – WAVING is shaping the hair into waves, using directed heated air from
hair/ dryer, and combs, brushes or your hands. It achieves natural soft fullness.

BLOW – DRYING is simply drying the hair with the hand held dryer. It is used to
blow dry hair into a chosen shape, or in a required direction.

SCRUNCH DRYING is the gripping and squeezing clumps of hair while directing
heated air into the hand. The process yields a casual, ruffled, molded shape.

FINGER OR HAND DRYING is the lifting pulling and directing hair with the fingers
or hands. Casual, soft and full shapes can be achieved. Billowing fullness is perhaps
the chief effect.

BLOW – COMBING is the drying and shaping using comb, or a comb attachment
fixed to the hairdryer. It is a kind of blow drying and achieves shape and direction.

BLOW – STRETCHING OR STRAIGHTENING a means of smoothing and unlinking

or straightening the hair. A variety of brush shapes and sizes may be used.

A blow – style consists of first shampooing the hair, then softening it with a dryer
and finally molding it into shape using a blow-dryer. It may be dressed, if required,
when the hair has cooled.

Natural drying is leaving the hair to dry naturally, depending on whether the cut
and the style are suitable. Natural drying maybe assisted by the heat of the sun and
wind.

EQUIPMENT / TOOLS / PRODUCTS

HAND – HELD DRYER is the most important piece of equipment you need. The
dryer should have adjustable speeds and temperatures and period of durability. It
needs to be light and easy to hold and to have controls positioned for easy reach.

 Hair Drier
 Brushes
 Hair drier attachments
Combs
HAND DRYER ATTACHMENTS such as nozzles and diffusers are available. Using
the dryer without a nozzle or diffuser allows for a wider directed air flow.

COMBS should be professional and heat resistant. The comb you will use should
have both widely spaced and narrowly spaced teeth.

BRUSHES are probably the most important items after blow dryers. A firm, stiff,
bristle or plastic brush is required. This will help you to grip, direct and control the
hair.

DIFFUSER fits over the end of the hair dryer and distributes an even flow
of warm air. It reduces a strong air to flow and is used for finishing
styles. It is ideal for producing soft, casual, ruffled natural curl looks. It
can be used on various hair lengths.

NOZZLE is intended to concentrate the hot air flow on to a specific area. It is ideal
for blow-waving as it allows the hair to be directed at the troughs and crests of the
wave shapes.

STYLING IRONS OR TONGS are often used to finalize a dried hair style. This is an
electrically heated unit. The hair is rolled and held in place long enough for the heat
to soften the hair. The irons are then slid out to leave a smooth rolled shape, similar
to that produced by the rollers.

HOT BRUSHES AND HEATED ROLLERS are available in several sizes. They are
applied to dried hair in similar manner for styling tongs.

STYLING AIDS / PRODUCTS USED IN BLOWDRYING

Blow – styling, setting, styling and dressing can be usefully aided by using
some of a large variety of products. Most hair cosmetic manufacturers feature them.
Some are physically designed to give added support to the hair shapes so as to
retain style as long as possible. There are aids available to meet most needs. Product
knowledge will help you select the correct one for your client.

The aids in the following list may contain:

 Plasticizers to enfold and support the hair
 Moisturizers to retain or resist moisture
 Protective screeners
 Silicone shiners
 Sun protectors

Blow styling aids protect the hair from excessive heat, augment the
length of time for which the hair shape is held and give body to the hair.

There are different hair aid strengths.

 Firm hold
 Extra hold
 Medium hold
 Ultra hold
 Ultimate hold

Dressing aids give sheen, shine, gloss and glitz to the hair. Gels, oils, silicones,
mousses, foams and waxes used to reflect light and to enhance a healthy looking
shape.
Setting aids enhance hair elasticity, help the hair to keep its spring
and bounce, and allow it to stretch easily.

Protective aids shield the hair from the harsh effects of exposure to
the sun.

Curl enhances the hair to retain curl or wave formation longer and
include perm enhancers.

HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN BLOWDRYING

1. Use only professional tools.
2. Ensure that all electrical equipment are in good order.
3. Never use electrical equipment with wet hands – you might be electrocuted.
4. Never use faulty equipment.
5. Work comfortably. Avoid continually twisting or stretching your body.
6. Maintain high standards of hygiene.
7. Test the heat of the dryer before applying it to the hair. You may cause discomfort
to your patron or damage to the hair. If the air is too hot for the skin or too hot for
the hair.
8. Direct hot air away from the scalp.
9. Do not keep the dryer in one place too long.
10. When straightening, never overstretch the hair.
11. Do not attempt to shape hair when it is too wet.
12. Pulling the hair may cause breakage.
13. Use suitable blow-drying aids to protect hair from overheating.

14. Do not blow style hair that is in poor condition.

15. Do not blow dry if the hair is too dry or wet.

LET US REMEMBER

 Letting hair dry naturally is usually not a practical option and doesn’t get the best
looking result for your hair.
 The more you blow dry, the worse the condition of your hair will become.
 If you have time, keep the dryer o its coolest setting.
 Excessive heat is a major cause of hair dryness as it makes hair lose its natural oils.
