Step by Step Guide to Washing Hair


Preparing the Model

·         
  • Wrap either a gown or towel round your model’s shoulders – in order not to stop water dropping on the model’s face or clothes.
  • ·    Place model’s hair in basin and begin to feel and inspect hair – you would have already asked questions during the consultation on length of hair, type of hair and whether it’s they’re natural hair colour.


Step By Step


     
1. First check the temperature of the water, always go for a medium temperature – test the water on your hand first then on your wrists to get a more accurate reading.
2.      Start by getting the water through the models hair making sure the hair is completely wet, then ask the model how it’s feeling in regards to the temperature.
3.      Cup your hand around the models forehead in order to direct the water away from the face.
4.      In order to make sure all the hair is wet, ask your model to lift her heads in order to get the underneath.
5.      Once the hair is saturated add shampoo – less is more as you can always add more
6.      Smooth the shampoo through the hair and gently bring down to the ends. Make sure to be firm so that the shampoo starts to foam, if it doesn’t add more water.
7.      Use your fingertips to really work the shampoo into the scalp
8.      Rinse the shampoo out the models hair by moving the hair while putting water through it.
9.      Repeat the shampoo process
10.  Apply conditioner to middle part of the hair all the way down to the ends.
11.  Comb the conditioner through the hair in order to remove a knots or tangles – make sure to take small sections so not to pull hair from the model’s roots.
12.  If the models hair is extremely knotty make sure to hold a section of hair mid way in order to give the hair slack to the scalp.
13.  Rinse the conditioner out of the model’s hair
14.  Place the towel round the model’s shoulders onto the wet hair and pat any excess water
15.  When back at the workstation carefully comb through the model’s hair.
16.  Lastly blast hair dry or style accordingly.
