Cabral Assistant Regional Director: Ruth L. Fuentes PIVOT 4A CALABARZON WEEK 1 Understanding Hair and Scalp Treatment I Lesson In this lesson, you will learn how to appreciate the benefits of scalp and hair treatment, analyze scalp and hair structure, and distinguish diseases and disorders of scalp and hair. More so, you will be able to study how to observe safety precautions and sanitation while at work and explain the different types of shampoo and conditioner. Benefits of Scalp and Hair Treatment People who experience itchy and dry scalp may ask for a scalp treatment from any salon This service provides a wonderful feeling, and it corrects the oil production in the scalp to encourage healthy hair growth. Scalp treatment can be done for people with oily scalp or those with dry flaky patches. Having a healthy scalp is necessary to have healthy hair. Professional hair and scalp treatment are effective to address multiple problems of the scalp and degrading hair quality including hair loss. This treatment works by tracking the issues from the roots and revitalizing the follicles. Here are some of the benefits of hair and scalp treatment. Human scalp hair is a bio-synthesized material that has a complex internal structure. Hair is a filamentous biomaterial consisting mainly of proteins in particular keratin. The structure of human hair is well known: the medulla is a loosely packed, disordered region near the center of the hair surrounded by the cortex, which contains the major part of the fiber mass, mainly consisting of keratin proteins and structural lipids. The cortex is surrounded by the cuticle, a layer of dead, overlapping cells forming a protective layer around the hair. A hair and scalp analysis allow us to see the state of your scalp up close. A magnified scope is used to assess the condition of your skin, the density of your hair and view your hair follicles. The findings will help to guide in a solution specific for hair problem, such as hair loss. The following are a few important terminologies in hairdressing: • hair density- is the number of individual strands per square inch on your scalp. • keratin- is the type of protein that makes up your hair, a protective protein; the structural building block of your hair. • hair thickness- hair is measured on its diameter; it is divided as thin hair in 0.05~0.07mm, normal hair in 008~0.09mm, thick hair called terminal hair in 0.1~0.15mm. • porosity- the ability of the hair to absorb moisture • elasticity- the strength of the hair and its ability to return to its original state without breaking Diseases and Disorders of Scalp and Hair 1. Seborrheic Dermatitis. Dandruff is a mild form of seborrheic dermatitis. In more severe cases, a reddening of the scalp and a lot of oil happen. There may also see reddish, greasy crusty scales between your eyebrows, and around your nose and ears. 2. Cradle Cap. This form of seborrheic dermatitis affects infants, typically in the first 6 months. It causes greasy, yellowish scales or crusts on the scalp. Although it may frighten parents, cradle cap is not a sign of a more serious infection, and it will usually clear up by the baby's first birthday. 4 PIVOT 4A CALABARZON 3. Head Lice. Lice are an unpleasant but all-too-common part of childhood. Lice are wingless insects about the size of a sesame seed. They feed on blood, and the females lay their eggs on the hair close to the scalp. 4. Ringworm. It's an infection that leaves round, scaly, red rashes and patches of hair loss on the scalp. Ringworm is most common in children between the ages of 3 and 7, but it can affect adults, too. It’s spread through close contact or by sharing hats, clothing, towels, and combs. In rare cases, it's possible to catch ringworm from a dog or cat. 5. Folliculitis. Folliculitis is an inflammation or infection of the hair follicle, the sac that contains the root of the hair. It's usually caused by bacteria (usually staphylococcus) that find their way into the hair follicles from a nearby infection. The follicles also can be irritated from shaving, makeup, or clothing. Some people get folliculitis after taking a dip in a hot tub. 6. Psoriasis. This skin condition can show up anywhere, but often happens on the scalp. It causes the body to make too many new skin cells. This buildup can form thick, crusted scales that can feel itchy or sore. 7. Lichen Planus. Lichen planus affects the skin or mouth. Doctors believe lichen planus is an autoimmune disease, which means your immune system attacks your own body by mistake. People who have lichen planus develop flat-topped, purple, or reddish bumps on their skin. And they usually itch. Other symptoms include redness, irritation, and (sometimes permanent) hair loss. Safety Precautions and Sanitation Health and safety must be a priority in your beauty salon. It’s vital to protect your staff and clients, operate within the law and be insured against potentially expensive legal action should something go wrong. A. Carry out a risk assessment. Make a list of anything that could cause injury or harm in your work place, and set out the steps you have taken. • Contact with water, detergents or massage oil that irritate the skin. • An allergic response to chemicals; this can take a while to develop. B. Musculoskeletal problems. Staff may experience strains, sprains and general pain due to doing physically repetitive work that involves a lot of standing and bending. C. Create a health and safety policy. Health safety protocols should always be imposed. An allergy alert testing must be carried out allergy alert tests at least 48 hours before applying hair colour or eyebrow/eyelash tints. D. Treatments and health safety. Always follow manufacturers’ instructions and make sure the client is old enough to have the treatment or therapy and does not have any medical condition which would put them at risk. Dealing with hazardous products • Ensure that you are knowledgeable enough on how to use and dispose them safely. • Always store hazardous substances in their original containers, away from direct sunlight and preferably in a locked cupboard. • Make sure you know which substances should not be poured down the sink. Keeping the Workplace and Equipment Safe • The workplace should be adequately ventilated. • Gas and electricity appliances should be regularly checked. • Measures should be taken to avoid slips, trips and falls. 5 PIVOT 4A CALABARZON • Guard against legionella by checking your water on a regular basis. Specialist checks are required for spa operators. • There must have a smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, a clear evacuation plan.

After the lesson, you will be able to advise client to remove all jewelry and accessories. What is a Hairdressing Salon? A hairdressing salon is a business that focuses on cutting, coloring and styling customers’ hair. Most hairdressing salons have a reception desk and a waiting area near the front door. The more upscale, trendy and expensive salons tend to require customers to have an appointment, while the budget chain hair shops usually don’t. The décor also varies widely between an expensive and an inexpensive hair salon. Salon Policies and Rules Salon policies are a set of rules that define boundaries and procedures regarding your clients’ behavior. They allow you to maintain a safe, organized and fair environment, which benefits not only you and your staff but also the customers. Well-written salon policies secure your business’ profitability, significantly decrease the risk of accidents, give your employees clear procedures to follow and finally – save you and your staff a lot of worries. Some of the policies and rules in salon includes: Late arrivals. Arriving 5 minutes late is not a big deal for most salons. But if the client is 30 minutes late and has just arrived, latte in hand, that’s an issue. Late cancellations. The salon loses income in late cancellations. Sometimes clients have to cancel their appointment, and that’s okay – as long as they inform you in a reasonable time. No-shows. This is every salon owner’s nightmare – no-shows are frustrating cases of clients who never show up for their booked visits, and without explanation. One-time no-shows can be forgiven, as to make a mistake is human, but you should be more insistent with notorious ones. Service guarantee and refunds. A service guarantee is often used as an assurance of the treatment quality. For your salon, you can set a “service guarantee” policy, which provides compensation offer in case of a failed treatment. This dictate the form of compensation and time frame in which it can be requested. Health history. The service should always begin the consultation by asking a client for their health history – it safeguards both the customer and salon staff. Some services may cause possible health complications, so it may be wise to refuse to perform a treatment or at least modify it. This knowledge will help you act accordingly in case of any emergencies, such as sudden seizures. 8 PIVOT 4A CALABARZON Right to refuse service. Though severely overlooked, this is a very important policy – being able to refuse to perform a service. Additional policies. This covers rules about kids in the salon, pets, using mobile phones during the treatment, eating and drinking during the treatment Basic Services provided in a Hair salon Shampooing: Hair washing / hair shampooing is the cosmetic act of keeping hair clean by washing it. To remove chemicals and dirt from hair . This is usually done to make hair more manageable for the hairdresser performing the haircut. After a haircut, it can remove loose strands of hair. It is also a relaxing practice, and many clients enjoy a hair wash as part of a haircut. Haircutting: Haircutting is the process of cutting, tapering, texturizing and thinning using any hair cutting tools in order to create a shape. Hair coloring: Hair coloring, or hair dyeing, is the practice of changing the hair color. The main reasons for this are cosmetic: to cover white hair or to change the appearance of the customer. Hair styling: A hairstyle, hairdo, or haircut refers to the styling of hair, usually on the human scalp. Sometimes, this could also mean an editing of facial or body hair. The fashioning of hair can be considered an aspect of personal grooming, fashion, and cosmetics, although practical, cultural, and popular considerations also influence some hairstyles. Draping The drape / cape serves to protect the client from infectious and contagious disease and protect the clients clothing from different hairdressing services. Comfort and protection of the client must always be considered during cosmetology services. Purpose of Neck Strip A neck strip or towel is used for sanitary reasons, to prevent contact of the cape with the client's skin.

Specifically, after the lesson, you will be able to shampoo and/or condition hair as required and following standard procedure and ensure client’s safety and comfort during the entire process. Shampooing Shampooing the hair is an important preliminary step for various hair treatments. The importance of a good shampoo should not be underestimated. The reputation for good shampooing builds friendly relationships with the patrons and is the foundation for future business. Shampoos are preparations for cleaning the hair and scalp. A shampoo is given both for sanitary reasons and to obtain better results in relation to other hair works. The purpose of a shampoo is to cleanse the hair and scalp. A shampoo to be effective, must remove all dirt, oils, cosmetics present and the skin debris from the scalp and hair shaft, without adversely affecting either the scalp or hair. Unless the scalp and hair are cleansed regularly, the accumulation of oil and perspiration which when mixed with natural scales and dirt offers a breeding place for disease producing bacteria. Permitting this condition to exist can lead to a scalp disorder. Hair should be shampooed as often as necessary depending on how quickly the scalp and hair become soiled. As a general rule, oily hair should be shampooed more often than normal or dry hair. Selecting the Correct Shampoo To make an intelligent choice of shampoo, the cosmetologist should know the composition and action of the shampoo and whether it will do an effective job. To obtain this information, carefully read the label and its shampooing literature. Required Materials and Implements Before giving a shampoo, gather all necessary materials and implements. There is nothing more annoying to the patron than to have the hairdresser wet her hair and leave her stranded, while she dashes out to get shampoo or other necessities. Required materials and implements are neck strip, towels, shampoo cape, comb and hair brush, shampoo and hair rinse. Hair Brushing Brushing should always be a part of both shampoo and scalp treatments with the following exceptions: • • • • Do Do Do Do not not not not brush brush brush brush before giving a lightening treatment. before the application of tint. before giving a permanent wave. if scalp is irritated. 12 PIVOT 4A CALABARZON Brushing stimulates the scalp, helps remove dust and dirt from 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. Towel-drying the Hair After a shampooing and rinse, the hair may be towel dried. Remove excess moisture at the shampoo board. Drape towel over the patron’s head. Massage the scalp over the towel with the palm and fingers of both hands in a circular motion until the hair is almost dry.

These include the following service requirements in drying hair like: towel dry and comb hair according to service requirements, blow dry hair according to service requirements and following standard procedure, apply finishing product on blow dried hair according to product specifications. Read the following text. What Is Towel Drying? When you towel-dry your hair, you use a towel or other absorbent material like a soft t-shirt to soak up moisture from your hair. This little step helps cut the time it takes to air-dry your hair. Is Towel Drying Your Hair Good Or Bad? There is a right and wrong way to towel-dry your hair. When your hair is wet, it is at its most fragile state. At this point, rubbing it vigorously with a towel can cause long-term hair damage and cause your hair to fall out. Excessive rubbing with a towel can also lead to major frizz. However, if you are gentle, use the right kind of towel, and take a few simple precautions, your hair will thank you later. Benefits Of Towel Drying Hair When done right, there are countless benefits of towel drying your hair. Some of the most significant ones include the following: 1. When you use a blow dryer, your hair is exposed to heat. Excessive heat can turn your hair frizzy and damage it. Towel drying saves your hair from getting exposed to extreme heat. 2. When you use a towel, you do not need to apply any product to dry your hair safely. Styling products and heat protectants often accumulate and build-up on your scalp leading to other hair and scalp issues. This doesn't happen when you use a towel for drying hair. 3. There is little or no friction when you dry your hair with a towel (of course, you shouldn't be rubbing your hair with the towel). The less the friction, the better it is for the health of your hair. Drying hair is the process of styling wet hair while blow-drying it. Using a hand -held dryer, you use a variety of techniques to create different effects. While directing heated air on to the wet hair, you mould the hair with brushes, use a comb or your fingers, and positioning it to fit the style for which you have cut it. Blow Styling Techniques The technique you choose will be determined by the hair texture, the quality and quantity of hair, the style to be produced and the cut. he most suitable hair for blow styling is firm, thick, and coarse hair. 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. 17 PIVOT 4A CALABARZON 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. BLOW – STRETCHING OR STRAIGHTENING a means of smoothing and unkinking or straightening the hair. A variety of brush shapes and sizes may be used. 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. 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. HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN BLOWDRYING 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Use only professional tools. Ensure that all electrical equipment are in good order. Never use electrical equipment with wet hands – you might be electrocuted. Never use faulty equipment. Work comfortably. Avoid continually twisting or stretching your body. Maintain high standards of hygiene. 18 PIVOT 4A CALABARZON 7.Test the heat of the dryer before applying it to the hair. You may cause discomfort to your patron or damage to the hair. If the air is too hot for the skin or too hot for the hair. 8. Direct hot air away from the scalp. 9. Do not keep the dryer in one place too long. 10. When straightening, never overstretch the hair. 11. Do not attempt to shape hair when it is too wet. 12. Pulling the hair may cause breakage. 13.

WEEK Meeting the OHS Requirements 7-8 Lesson I The lesson deals on how to sanitize the workplace and store tools and equipment in accordance with occupational safety and health requirements. Salon policies and procedure regarding storing of supplies and materials are also discussed. At the end of this lesson, you should be able to clean, sanitize, and store tools and equipment according to OHS requirements, Segregate and dispose waste materials according to OHS requirements. To increase the lifespan of salon tools and equipment and create an inviting space for customers by refreshing the little details. Daily Use Tools. Start by using natural-based cleaning supplies to prevent health and environmental ramifications. Gather tools that are used daily such as scissors, hair clips, razors, brushes, or anything else that needs cleaning. Put on rubber gloves to set these tools in a large tub of hot water for at least 30 minutes. Soak them in another tub that contains natural cleaning products or 80% alcohol to sanitize thoroughly. Let the tools sit for no less than one hour. Afterward, use a soft, clean towel to pat dry. Before cleaning electric tools, make sure they are unplugged. Gently scrub the surface and insides if possible with a disinfecting wipe and let it sit for 30 minutes. Equipment. From an excess of color and dropped lightener to hairspray buildup and coffee spills, salon chairs have had it all. It’s best to clean the stain immediately rather than waiting and letting it settle. Use this natural alternative to clean spills quickly: 1. Mix one-half cup of baking soda with four cups of warm water. 2. Take a sponge or soft cloth and test the mixture on the bottom of the chair. 3. Follow with a thorough cleaning. If there is still hairspray or a stain on the chair, use a stronger mixture: 1. Pour some baking powder in a bowl and add enough lemon juice to make a paste. 2. Apply the mixture to the sticky areas of the chair and leave the mixture on the chair for a couple of minutes. The acid in the lemon juice will cut through the stickiness. 3. Wipe away the mixture with a clean cloth. 4. Repeat the process as many times as necessary. For sinks, use one part powdered or liquid detergent and three parts water. Let it sit for about an hour before rinsing. Sterilization and sanitation techniques practiced in beauty salon involve the use of agents such as radiation and heat, and chemical agents, such as antiseptics, disinfectants and vapor fumigants. • • Dry and moist heat may both be used in sterilization. Glass – bead sterilizer is a small electrically-heated unit which contains glass beads; these transfer heat to objects placed in contact with them. This method is suitable for small tools such as tweezers and scissors. Autoclaving is the most effective method for sterilizing objects in the salon. Water is boiled in an auto clave (similar to a pressure cooker), the water reaches a temperature of 121 – 134 ◦c. 21 PIVOT 4A CALABARZON • • If an object cannot be sterilized, it should be placed in a chemical disinfectant solution such as quaternary ammonium compounds or glutaraldehyde. An antiseptic prevents the multiplication of microorganisms. It is milder than a disinfectant and it does not kill all micro-organism. Sterilization Techniques 1. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines on the use of sterilizing unit. 2. Select the appropriate method of sterilization for the object. 3. Clean the object in clean water and detergent to remove dirt and grease. Dirt left on the object may prevent effective sterilization. 4. Dry it thoroughly with a clean, disposable paper towel. 5. Place tools that have been sterilized in a clean covered container. Hazardous waste is “waste with properties that make it dangerous or capable of having a harmful effect on human health or the environment.” Once an item containing hazardous properties is no longer usable, it is deemed hazardous waste. Common Hazardous Wastes Today’s beauty salons and spas offer a range of services – from hair styling to nail and skin treatments as well as retail products. By providing these services, however, many wastes can be generated. Examples of products that may be considered a RCRA hazardous waste in your salon or spa can include, but are not limited to: acetone or nail polish remover; aerosols, including hair spray and quick nail dry; acrylic nail liquids and powders; adhesives, including cyanoacrylate nail glue; nail base and top coats; nail polish; certain gels; hair coloring, dye and bleach; disinfectants used to equipment and other tools; some soaps and shampoos (state regulated) ; fluorescent bulbs; batteries; and electronics. Hazardous Waste Best Practices The most important first step salon or spa owners and managers should take is making sure a waste management compliance program is set in place. Below are several best practices for bagging, separating and storing hazardous waste items that will help ensure the safety and compliance of your program: 1. Properly seal items. Prior to storing any hazardous waste items in a bin, place them individually in a sealed plastic bag. This will keep items from mixing and causing a reaction. 2. Use separate bins. Incompatible hazardous waste items must remain separate. It’s recommended to use designated bins for each type of hazardous waste category: aerosols and flammables, toxics, corrosive acidic, corrosive alkaline (basic), oxidizers and universal waste. 3. Label containers properly. Once the initial item is placed within a bin, label the container as hazardous waste and also include the accumulation start date and an indication of the hazardous characteristic of the waste. Should an inspector ever visit your salon, proper labelling is one of the first things they will evaluate. 4. Scout a safe storage area. Store accumulation bins in a dedicated, clean and neatly organized hazardous waste area. Make sure bins are stored away from heavy traffic areas, electrical panels, and perishable or consumable product storage and dock doors. 22 PIVOT 4A CALABARZON D Learning Task 1: Answer the following questions in your notebook. 1.
