Pre-Styling:
* Shampooing: This is the first step of any hair service and involves cleaning the scalp and hair with shampoo.
* Conditioning: This helps to hydrate and nourish the hair after shampooing. There are different types of conditioners for various needs, like deep conditioning or detangling.
* Scalp Treatments: These are applied to the scalp to address specific issues like dryness, oiliness, or irritation.
* Hair Masques: These are applied to the hair to deeply hydrate, repair damage, or add shine.
* Detangling: Thorough detangling is essential before styling. This is often done with a wide-toothed comb or brush.
Styling:
* Blow-drying: This involves using a hairdryer and brush to dry the hair and create volume and shape.
* Sectioning: This involves dividing the hair into sections to make styling easier and more manageable.
* Cutting: Cutting wet hair can be beneficial for certain techniques, like blunt cuts, as it allows for more precise control.
* Chemical Processes:
* Perming: This involves using chemicals to change the texture of the hair to create curls or waves.
* Relaxing: This process uses chemicals to straighten hair.
* Coloring: While most color applications are done on dry hair, some techniques like bleach baths or certain color corrections are done on wet hair.
* Bleaching: This process lightens the hair using bleach, often done on wet hair.
Finishing:
* Applying Styling Products: This can include mousse, gel, serum, or other products used to enhance style and hold.
* Finishing Touches: This includes techniques like smoothing, adding texture, or creating specific styles based on the client's needs.
It's important to note that the specific wet work tasks involved in a service will vary depending on the chosen style, client's hair type, and desired outcome.
