SHAMPOOING
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.
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
other cosmetics present. It also stimulates the blood circulation, nourishes the scalp
and promotes hair growth.
II. PROCEDURE
A. PREPARATION STEPS
1. Select and arrange required materials.
B. MANIPULATING STEPS
1. Wet hair thoroughly with warm water spray held off the head. Shift hand to
protect patron’s face and ears from the spray.
2. Mix hot water with cold. Test the water mixture and temperature on the back of
your hand. After lifting the spray and before applying it to the client, test the water
temperature again.
3. Check the water flow and pressure. Do not allow the water to flow down the neck
or on the face of the patron.
4. Keep one hand between the head and the water spray – you will then be aware of
any temperature changes.
5. Thoroughly wet the hair, avoid wetting the patron.
6. Apply shampoo, first into the palm of your hand. Distribute it evenly over the hair
and scalp. Use as little shampoo as is necessary, or most of it will be wasted.
7. With clawed fingers massage the scalp in a circular manner. Cover the whole scalp
– be sure to avoid missing any part.
8. Rinse the hair thoroughly, again checking the water temperature and pressure.
9. Finally rinse all traces of lather from the skin and hair.
C. COMPLETION STEPS
1. Comb the hair starting with hair ends at nape of neck.
2. Set the hair to the desired style.
3. Remove shampoo cape, towel or neck strip.
4. Dry hair and comb out hair to appropriate hair style.
5. Discard used materials and place unused supplies in their proper place.
6. Clean and sanitize combs and brushes.
7. Place used towels into towel hampers.
8. Clean and sanitize shampoo bowl.
9. Wash and sanitize hands.
LET US REMEMBER
Shampooing is the preliminary step for all hair treatments.
The primary aim of shampoo is to cleanse the hair and scalp from any dust and dirt
present.
A properly done shampoo accompanied by correct massage technique will
stimulate the blood circulation, nourishes the scalp and promotes hair growth.
Hair should be shampooed as often as necessary, depending on how quickly the
scalp and hair become soiled.

Definition of Terms
Mold to form or shape
Tongs instrument consisting of two arms used for grasping
Crimp to press into small folds; to corrugate
Distort to pull or twist out of shape
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
