Treatments for Hair and Scalp

Normal hair and scalp require regular cleanliness and conditioning.

Oily hair and scalp benefit from manipulation and kneading to enhance blood circulation.

Dandruff Information

Brushing Hair

Regular brushing helps remove dust, dirt, and hairspray buildup.
It stimulates blood circulation in the scalp.

Types of Brushes

Natural bristle brushes have overlapping layers that clean and add shine.
Nylon bristle brushes are smoother and better suited for styling purposes.

pH Basics

pH stands for potential hydrogen, measuring a substance's acidity or alkalinity, with a scale from 0 to 14.
Acidic ranges are from 0-6.9, neutral is 7, and alkaline is 7.1-14.

Shampoo Effects

High pH shampoos can dry hair, making it brittle and porous, and may fade color-treated hair.

Draping Techniques

Draping ensures client safety and comfort, typically using a towel, cape, and another towel.

Effective Shampooing Practices

Consider client preferences for massage techniques and water temperature.
Avoid water or hands touching the client's face during washing.
Double-check the nape area before moving the client back to seating.

Shampooing Steps

Begin by testing and drenching the hair.
Shampoo application starts at the hairline, using fingertips for lathering.
Rinse thoroughly and repeat as necessary, applying conditioner as needed.

Water Types

Soft water allows soap and shampoo to lather easily due to low mineral content.
Hard water contains minerals that inhibit lathering.

Water Purification Methods

Deionized water is purified by removing impurities like calcium and magnesium.
Filtration allows water to pass through porous substances to remove contaminants.
Distillation involves heating water to vapor, then condensing it back to liquid.

Surfactants in Shampoo

Surfactants act as base detergents in shampoos, having water-attracting (hydrophilic) and oil-attracting (lipophilic) properties.

Types of Shampoos

Various types include pH-balanced, conditioning, medicated, clarifying, balancing, dry, color-enhancing, and those specifically for wigs.

Non-Stripping Products

Non-stripping shampoos do not remove artificial hair color.

Conditioners

Conditioners deposit proteins and moisture in hair, enhancing strength and sheen while preventing breakage.

pH in Conditioners

Ideal pH for conditioners used post-chemical services is between 3.5 and 6.0, with 5 being optimal.

Types of Conditioners

Rinse-out conditioners provide detangling and ease of use.
Treatment conditioners deeply penetrate hair for restoration.
Leave-in conditioners are not rinsed out and continue to provide benefits.

Humectants

Humectants play a crucial role in absorbing and retaining moisture in hair products.
