Study Notes
Hair Length Considerations
- Long hair requires rotary massage focused only on the scalp to avoid excessive tangling.
- Use effleurage techniques (long, gliding strokes) to cleanse the hair and minimize cuticle knotting.
- Avoid pulling or tugging long hair to prevent damage and discomfort.
Hair Density Factors
- Hair density refers to the number of hair strands per square centimeter on the scalp.
- High hair density may necessitate a firmer rotary massage technique to ensure effective pressure is felt by the client.
Hair Condition Awareness
- Highly bleached or very fragile hair should be treated with extra caution during massage to prevent breakage.
Scalp Condition Guidelines
- Avoid vigorous rotary massage on excessively oily scalps, as this can activate sebaceous glands and increase oil production.
- Careful consideration of scalp condition is essential to prevent worsening oiliness or grease issues.
