 What I Need to Know

For many years, men have been the poster boys for hair loss. However, hair loss
is not just restricted to men. Many women suffer from hair thinning and in severe
cases, complete hair loss. Over the
course of this three-part series, we
will discuss the basic features
of hair, how to diagnose and
recognize hair loss, and the
treatment options currently available
to preserve your luscious locks.

Its important to understand

that there are more than just one
type of hair on the human body.
Adults have both vellus and terminal hair follicles scattered throughout the skin.
Vellus hair consist of small, fine, light-colored hairs that often remain short and
discrete. This is widely known as “peach-fuzz”, as it is barely noticeable on the skin
surface. The majority of vellus hair follicles
develop during early infancy around the 38-
40th week of gestation and remain
unchanged throughout puberty. Vellus hair
provides both cooling and thermal regulation
properties during times of environmental
stress. In contrast, terminal hair consists of
long, thick, pigmented hairs that cover the
scalp, face, groin (genitalia), armpits (axilla),
arms, and legs. Terminal hair is sensitive to
elevated hormone levels known as
androgens (sex hormones), which occurs
during the process of puberty (10-11 years old in females; 11-12 years old in males).

The module is divided into two lessons, namely:

  Lesson 1 – Hair Care Concepts: The Basics
 Lesson 2 – The Importance of Hairdressing
 Lesson 3 – Career Information: Hairdresser

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. explains basic concepts in hairdressing
2. discusses the relevance of the course
3. explores opportunities in hairdressing

HAIR AND SCALP TREATMENT

Shampooing and Conditioning the Hair

Shampooing and conditioning are an essential part of most hairdressing

treatments. To make hair more manageable for blow-drying, setting, cutting, perming ,
relaxing and some coloring processes, the hair must be thoroughly cleansed from all
dirt, natural grease, and products. However, using a shampoo everyday is bad for the
hair for its strips away all the oil from your scalp leaving hair dry that is prone to
breakage. The good rule of thumb is to shampoo every 2 or 3 days squeeze out .
Scalp Massage

A healthy scalp should be clean and well stimulated. To attain this, give a scalp
massage. A scalp massage is most effective when given continuously or regular once a
week for a normal scalp and more frequently for those with scalp disorders.

Hot Oil and Hair Spa Treatment

The hot oil treatment exclusively utilizes heat to assist with hair penetration,
whereas a hair mask on the other hand does not typically include heat. The major
difference is the ingredients. A hot oil treatment formula consists almost exclusively of
hair oil or a blend of hair oils. Hair masks ingredients however can include anything
from honey, to avocado, banana, egg, lemon juice, coconut milk, olive oil, apple cider
vinegar, oatmeal, mayonnaise and more.
Two Kinds of Hot Oil Treatment
1. Homemade Hot Oil Treatment are simple to make and the ingredients are
easily found in the kitchen. You can use natural oil like coconut, vegetable,
canola, olive or jojoba. These are the treatments for dry hair, flaky scalp, for
itchy scalp, for frizzy hair, hair growth and more.
2. Commercial Hot Oil treatments are store brought formulas and are much
convenient nut more expensive than homemade hot oil. This kind of produce
is in a form of oil, cream or emulsion. This can be applied on your own and it
gives same benefits as the homemade hot oil does. These products are the
ones being used in every salon because of their good result.

Whether you prefer a hair mask over a hot oil treatment, or vice versa, either
one can be an effective way to keep your hair nourished and moisturized all
year round. All hair types behave differently in different conditions. For
instance, hair can get dry, frizzy, or brittle during cold winter months or
become oily, damage, and having split ends in summer and a hot climate.
Benefits on Hair Treatment
1. Provide added moisture and hydration to hair.
2. Provide essential vitamins and minerals which hair needs to become healthier
and more alive.

Types of Shampoo
1. Acid balance Shampoos- these are designed to prevent excessive dryness
particularly color treated color-treated or lighted.
2. Conditioning or Moisturizing Shampoos-these are designed to make hair
smooth and shiny; to avoid chemically treated hair; and to improve the
manageability of the hair. This shampoo is rich in protein and biotin that
restore moisture and elasticity, strengthen the hair shaft, and add volume.
3. Medicated Shampoos-these contain special chemicals to reduce excessive
dandruff and relieve scalp condition.
4. Clarifying Shampoos-these contain acidic ingredients to cut the product build
up through the hair. These can also make the hair shiny.
5. Balancing Shampoos-these wash away excess oiliness of the hair and scalp.
6. Dry or powder shampoos-these cleanse the hair without the use of soap and
water. The powder picks up dirt and oil as you brush or comb it through the
hair. It is designed to use for clients who are not comfortable wetting their hair.
7. Color-enhancing Shampoos- these tones down brassiness, create warmth, and
camouflage roots without altering professional salon color.

Conditioners
These are special agents applied to the hair to deposit protein or moisturizer, to
help restore its strength and give it body, or to protect it against possible breakage.
Conditioners are a temporary remedy for dry and damaged hair.

1. Rinse-through – finishing rinses or cream that are rinsed out after they
are worked through the hair for detangling.
2. Treatment or Repair-deep, penetrating conditioners that are left on the
hair for 10 to 20 minutes, restoring protein and moisture in the hair.
3. Leave in – are conditioners that contain moisturizing and protective
ingredients and sprayed onto wet hair.

SCALP/HAIR DISEASES SCALP/ HAIR DISORDERS

What is It
 The papilla is the only living part of the hair. The part of the hair that is
on the head of lifeless. In the papilla, cells multiply and produce a protein called
keratin. Keratin is responsible for the firmness of the hair. Enclosed by a sleeve of
tissue is the part of the hair which within the scalp is called follicle. Next to the follicle
is the sebaceous gland, which secretes oily or waxy substance called sebum. This
sebum forms a natural protective film over the length of the hair, to keep it soft,
supple, and shiny.
The chemical composition of hair consists of carbon, 50.65%; hydrogen,6.36%;
nitrogen, 17.14%; sulfur, 5.0%; and oxygen, 20.8%

The hair three layers. They are:

1. Medulla (inner layer)- medulla is the innermost layer of the hair and is
composed of large cells
2. Cortex (middle layer)-cortex contains pigments and keratin
3. Cuticle (outer layer)- a healthy cuticle gives a shiny appearance to the hair
whereas an unhealthy cuticle lends it a lifeless look.
