SHAMPOOING
Shampooing the hair is an important preliminary step for various

hair treatments. The importance of a good shampoo should not be under-
estimated. 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.
12
 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
 Hair rinse
HAIR BRUSHING
Brushing should always be a part of both shampoo and scalp

treatments with the following exceptions:
 Do not brush before giving a lightening treatment.

 Do not brush before the application of tint.
 Do not brush before giving a permanent wave.
 Do not brush if scalp is irritated.
13
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. Comb the
hair free of snarls, or tangles, starting with the ends of
the hair at the back of the head.
14

DRYING HAIR TO SHAPE AND TO CREATE A FINISHED LOOK
Drying Hair Principles
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.
Like other methods of setting wet hair, blow styling works by changing
22
the hair structure. While hair is wet, and heat is applied, it can be
moulded into a chosen shape. The style is only temporary, though. As the
hair gradually absorbs moisture from the atmosphere, it returns to its
original shape. Combing styled hair with hot water returns the hair to its
natural form straight away.
Heat Molding Techniques
Heat can be applied to hair in other ways:
 To wave it using irons

 To curl it using tongs
 To crimp it using heated crimpers
 To straighten it using hot combs or hot brushes
Like other methods, these techniques depend on the softening

effect of heat. The molded hair must be allowed to cool before it will hold
its shape. If you comb through it while it is still warm, you will lose or
distort the shape. Hair molded in this way returns to its natural state if
combed with hot water.
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.
The most suitable hair for blow styling is firm, thick, and coarse hair.
These are additional styling aids –

 Thickeners
 Setting mousses and gels
These are designed to give directions to the hair. Fine and fluffy
hair requires the help of one of these if you are to obtain successful
results.
23
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.
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.
EQUIPMENT / TOOLS / PRODUCTS
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.
24
Hair Drier Hair drier attachments
Brushes Combs
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.
25
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.
STYLING AIDS / PRODUCTS USED IN BLOWDRYING
Blow – styling, setting, styling and dressing can be usefully aided

by using some of a large variety of products. Most hair cosmetic
manufacturers feature them. Some are physically designed to give added
support to the hair shapes so as to retain style as long as possible.
There are aids available to meet most needs. Product knowledge
will help you select the correct one for your client.
The aids in the following list may contain:
 Plasticizers to enfold and support the hair
 Moisturizers to retain or resist moisture
 Protective screeners
 Silicone shiners
 Sun protectors
Blow styling aids protect the hair from excessive heat, augment the
length of time for which the hair shape is held and give body to the hair.
26
There are different hair aid strengths.
 Firm hold
 Extra hold
 Medium hold
 Ultra hold
 Ultimate hold
Dressing aids give sheen, shine, gloss and glitz to the hair. Gels,
oils, silicones, mousses, foams and waxes used to reflect light and to
enhance a healthy looking shape.
Setting aids enhance hair elasticity, help the hair to keep its spring
and bounce, and allow it to stretch easily.
Protective aids shield the hair from the harsh effects of exposure to
the sun.
Curl enhances the hair to retain curl or wave formation longer and
include perm enhancers.
HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN BLOWDRYING
1. Use only professional tools.

2. Ensure that all electrical equipment are in good order.
3. Never use electrical equipment with wet hands – you might be
electrocuted.
4. Never use faulty equipment.
5. Work comfortably. Avoid continually twisting or stretching your body.
6. Maintain high standards of hygiene.
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. Use suitable blow-drying aids to protect hair from overheating.
27
14. Do not blow style hair that is in poor condition.
15. Do not blow dry if the hair is too dry or wet.
LET US REMEMBER
 Letting hair dry naturally is usually not a practical option and

doesn’t get the best looking result for your hair.
 The more you blow dry, the worse the condition of your hair will
become.
 If you have time, keep the dryer o its coolest setting.
 Excessive heat is a major cause of hair dryness as it makes hair
lose its natural oils.

ASSESS PATRON’S NEEDS
This lesson deals with the assessment of the patron’s hair cutting needs,
the appropriate reception to be extended, the analysis of the hair condition,
texture, density and length, and the proper protective clothing materials to be
used.

LET US STUDY
Definition of terms:
hair stream – the natural direction in which the hair grows after leaving the
follicle
hair catalogue – a special type of magazine, photo collection of various

haircuts and hair styles.
Whorl – a spiral turn of hair which goes contrary to the usual growth
of the hair
Consultation – a meeting between the client and the hairdresser at which

advice is given and taken.
3
Before you touch your client’s hair, she has to be received into the salon.
Reception is the point at which she begins her business relationship with you.
Ways of addressing the patron
 Greet the patron politely, pleasantly and courteously.

 Attend to him/her promptly and helpfully.
 Find time to acknowledge the arrival of another client and assure
him/her that he/she will soon be attended to.
Every hairdressing business has to have patrons. The patron’s

satisfaction is the salon’s main business. Realizing this is the key to your
success.
How to assess the patron’s hair cutting needs?
 Discuss with the patron what she wants and expects.

 Communicate with the patron by listening to what she tells you and
understanding what she requires you to do.
 Examine your patron’s hair to determine its type, texture, color, length,
condition and any other important factors that may affect the services
requested.
 Tell your patron the limitations. Persuade her to cut the hair to a style
you are sure would suit her.
 Show hair catalogues or magazines to help and guide the patron in
deciding on the style she would choose.
After assessing your patron’s hair cutting needs, you may take the
initiative in guiding the client to a decision. Make sure that the patron
understands, accepts and agrees with you on the decided haircut style.
Reminder:
 Never attempt to carry out any haircutting service without the patron’s
consent
 All information regarding patrons should be handled in strict confidence.
 Make sure all the patron’s clothes are covered and all materials are
secured.
In selecting the proper hairstyle, the hairdressers should take into

consideration the condition of the patron’s hair
4
The quality and quantity of hair:
 Shiny, healthy hair is essential for good styling. Hair that is in poor
condition and poorly textured never looks good and will not style well.
 Thin hair is difficult to manage and requires attention. Hair styles which
make it appear thicker and fuller are usually best.
 Very curly hair requires frequent combing. As it is combed the true
length becomes apparent.
 Straight hair, particularly if it is fine textured can be difficult to cut.
 Very fine, thin hair when wet loses its shape. Use setting aids, so hair
thicken and practice styles.
Hair position, proportion and form
 The outline formed by hair in relation to facial shape contributes to the

overall effect.
 Consider the direction and distributions of the hair – its cowlicks,
widow’s peaks, hair streams, hair whorls and double crowns. Make
allowances for these when cutting particularly when designing the style.
 It is important that you maintain balance between hair and face to
achieve a suitable distribution and shape.
 The way the hair falls or moves is best seen when the hair is wet. Styling
can disguise the form of the hair and its natural position.
 A hairstyle that follows the natural fall and growth retain its shape
longer.
 Cutting nape whorl too short produces difficulties; the hair may stick out
in all directions.
Fine hair
Fine hair like silk is delicate and responds to products more quickly than
other textures. It hangs flat and lies close to the head, looking thin despite the
thickness. Try shorter and blunt cuts to add fullness. Layers can make thin
hair look thinner; you may use gel to add volume at the roots.
Coarse hair
Coarse hair is like linen, each strand is strong and thick. It appears wiry
in humid conditions and looks dull even after washing.
5
BASIC STYLES OF HAIRCUT FOR WOMEN

6
 Clean tools after use and store them in a dry safe place.

cut your hands.
Let us Remember
 Examine your patron’s hair to determine its type, texture and condition
and other factors that may affect the services requested.

LET US STUDY
Definition of Terms
Antiseptic a chemical agent that prevents the growth of bacteria
Disinfectant an agent used for destroying germs
Fumigate disinfect by the action of fumes
Autoclave an apparatus for sterilizing using super heated high pressur

steam
Sterilization the total destruction of all living microorganism.
Sanitation I the destruction of some, but not all microorganisms.
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.
27
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.
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.
28
Sterilization Techniques
 Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines on the use of sterilizing unit.

 Select the appropriate method of sterilization for the object.
 Clean the object in clean water and detergent to remove dirt and grease.
Dirt left on the object may prevent effective sterilization.
 Dry it thoroughly with a clean, disposable paper towel.
 Place tools that have been sterilized in a clean covered container.
Disposal of waste
Waste should be disposed in an enclosed waste bin, durable enough to

resist tearing. The bin should be regularly sanitized with disinfectant in a well-
ventilated area.
Contaminated waste should be disposed of as recommended by local

authority.
Used razor blades and similar items should be placed into a safe
container. When the container is full, it can be discarded.
Washing surfaces
All surfaces within the salon should be washed at least once each day.
They can be cleansed with hot water and detergent. Don’t use abrasives as
these will scratch plastic surfaces.
Glass mirrors should be cleaned every morning before clients arrive.

Glass surfaces should be cleaned and polished using either hot water or
detergent or a spirit based lotion that evaporates quickly.
29
LET US REMEMBER
 Always follow the manufacturer’s guideline on the use of the sterilizing

unit.

LET US STUDY
Serrate - having a saw-toothed edge
Clubbing - a method of cutting hair sections bluntly, straight across
Layering- cutting sections of hair at varying angles from the head
Tapering - means reducing hair to a point where unwanted weight is

removed
Cutting Tools
Scissors. These are the most important tool in hair cutting

Choose the size of the scissors that best suit the size of your hand.
This will help to cut hair neatly, quickly and efficiently. The best way is to hold
the pair of scissors with the thumb through one handle and the third through
the other.
Razors. Modern
counter
parts pf
scissors are called hair shapes. The modern razor llike hair shapes has a
replaceable blade and a protective handle. With the opened handle. The
back of the guarded blade is held by the thumb between the pivot and
the tang. The two middle fingers rest and the tang, an either side of the
handle.
11
Thinning scissors. May be held in the same way as cutting scissors
Clippers. Hand clippers are operated by pushing the handles together while
electric clippers are operated by a motor. The distance between the blade
points and the spacing of the teeth determines how closely the hair can be cut.
Combs. Suitable for cutting are thin and pliable comb, with both fine and
coarse teeth. Fine teeth allow the hair to be controlled and closely cut. Coarse
teeth allow for repeated combing and positioning of the hair.
Mirrors. These are useful while cutting the patron’s hair so that the shape can
clearly be seen over the shoulder around the neck and remain firmly in
position
Cutting collars. Placed over the shoulders, around the neck, and remain
firmly in position.
Cutting Method
12
1. Clubbing: Scissors over comb 2. Clubbing over fingers
3. Clippers clubbing 4. Thinning
5. Texturizing 6. Razoring
13
7. Fringe shaping 8. Outlining
9. Completed cut
LET US REMEMBER
 Competent handling of tools achieves the most precise results.

 Wet hair stretches from a third to half its length, Allow for this so that
when it reverts back to the original length it is not too short.
 Position your client’s head carefully so that you can carry out chosen
techniques efficiently.

LET US STUDY
Definition of Terms
Patron the person who receives beauty services
Coarse scratchy, wiry and with harsh feeling
Stretch ability to expand, extend and elongate
Springy flexible, resilience, bounce
Abrasion scraping of the skin
Perming is the term given to the physical and chemical processing

of straight hair that will change it into curls or waves. Throughout
history, people have experimented with their hair in attempt to make
themselves more beautiful.
1. Relatively inexpensive.
2. Employs no heat and is given at room temperature.
Cosmetologists and chemists have contributed many improvements

to produce the cold perming methods in use today. For best results, the
cosmetologist should follow the manufacturer’s directions.
Today, cold perming is the accepted method of permanently

perming nearly all types of hair. Exceptions are persons who maybe
allergic to the perming lotion and those whose hairs do not take a cold
perm satisfactorily.
3
BASIC REQUIREMENTS
To give a successful cold perm, the cosmetologist must have a

thorough understanding of the following:
 Hair and Scalp Analysis

 Curling rods and chemicals
 Hair sectioning patterns
 Hair blocking and wrapping
 Applying perming lotion
 Processing
 Test curls
 Neutralizing
 Safety measures
SCALP AND HAIR ANALYSIS
A very important step before giving a cold perm is to make a careful

and correct analysis of the patron’s scalp and hair condition.
SCALP EXAMINATION
The scalp should be examined very carefully. Abrasions on the

scalp can make cold perming dangerous to a patron. An irritated scalp or
badly damaged hair are both signs that cold perming should be
postponed until the condition is corrected.
HAIR POROSITY
Porosity is the ability of the hair to absorb fluids or liquids.
The porosity of the hair determines how quickly the perm lotion is
absorbed. The processing time for any cold perm depends much more on
hair porosity than upon any other factor. The more porous the hair, the
less processing time it takes, and a milder perming solution is required.
The hair absorbs the cold perming lotion in relation to its porosity,
regardless of texture.
HAIR TEXTURE
Hair texture refers to the individual size of the hair strand and its
degree of coarseness or fineness. The texture and porosity are judged
together in determining the processing time.
For hair of medium texture, use perm lotion of normal strength.
Fine hair curls more easily and requires weaker lotion; coarse hair is
harder to wave and requires stronger lotion.
4
HAIR ELASTICITY
Hair elasticity is the ability of the hair to stretch and contract.

Without elasticity, there will be no curl on the hair. The greater the
degree of elasticity the longer the wave will remain in the hair, because
less relaxation of the hair occurs.
HAIR DENSITY
Hair density is the amount of hair strands per square inch on the
scalp.
Smaller blockings and larger rods are often required for thickly
growing hair. If the hair is thin, per square inch, smaller blocking
sections and smaller rods are required in order to form a good wave
pattern close to the head. Avoid large blockings on a thin hair growth.
HAIR LENGTH
Long heavy hair requires more perming than short hair because
the hair’s weight will pull on the curls. Short, fine hair may become too
tightly curled if given the normal processing time.
RECONDITIONING TREATMENTS
Reconditioning treatments for previously treated hair must be

determined. Dry, brittle or damaged hair which was previously treated,
should be given reconditioning treatment prior to cold hair perming.
Recent developments in conditioners have proven to be beneficial to the
hair. Avoid any treatment requiring massage or heat just prior to a cold
wave. Such treatment would create a sensitive scalp.
Permanent waving, tinted, bleached or damaged hair can be a

problem. It is very important to analyze the hair properly.
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
These precautionary measures should be observed if previous

treatments are applied on the hair prior to cold wave:
1. Always use a pre-perm conditioner.

2. Use a mild shampoo before perming.
3. Use a mild cold wave lotion.
4. Make a test as often as necessary.
5. There is no room for error. Frequent checking is very important.
6. All color treated hair will have a degree of discoloration after
perm.
5
PREPARING AND PLANNING THE PERM
For the patron, perming is a major step whose result she will have
to live with for several months. She may not be familiar with the perm
available. The operator should explain to the patron what perm is the
most suitable to her.
 Explain that a cold perm is designed to curl straight hair.

 Consider the style with respect to the patron’s age and lifestyle.
 Examine scalp closely if:
there are signs of inflammation, disease, cut skin; and
there is excessive grease or lacquer.
 Shampoo the patron’s hair.
 Select the correct perm lotion.
 Always read manufacturer’s direction carefully.
 Fill up in details the patron’s record card.
 Take note of the decided style and cost involved to prevent
misunderstanding.
 Minimize combing and brushing the hair.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
There are several ways in which

the patron maybe draped for a cold
perm. The comfort of the patron,
adequate protection of person and her
clothing are important during the entire
procedure. One way to drape patron is to
place a small folded towel around the
patron’s neck, fasten the shampoo cape
over it, then place another towel over the
cape. Fasten the towel securely with
safety pin or clip.
LET US REMEMBER
 Wash hands with soap and water.

 Hairdresser should wear a smock gown.
 Drape the patron with clean towel around the shoulders, on top of
it is a shoulder cape.
 Prepare materials in accordance with salon policies.
 Check and analyze the hair and scalp.
 Check patron’s perming history to determine possible chemical
reaction.
 Provide with personal protective clothing.
1. How do you prepare the patron before perming?

2. Why is it necessary to examine scalp for abrasions?
3. How should the hairdresser’s hands be protected in cold perming?

BASIC HAIR PERMING
For good cold waving results, the hairdresser should closely watch:
1. materials, supplies, tools and implements needed

2. strength of the waving Lotion/Neutralizer
3. sectioning and blocking the hair
4. proper size rods/winding the hair
5. test curling
6. neutralization
7. safety and sanitary rules
Hair perming is a system of hair waving depending on waving or

curling action on chemical alone. In perming, curls or waves of hair are
close to the scalp. No heavy equipment is used. It is fast and easy.
The materials used in perming the hair listed will render ease and
professional way of performing the activity.
1. Plastic Trolley – a handy tool used to hold the needed materials,

tools use in perming hair
2. Hair Dryer – used to dry 80% of the hair before performing the
perming activities
3. Drape Pan – used to accumulate the excess cold wave lotion while
resaturating the curled hair
4. Mirror – reflects the true representation and reflection of an

individual
5. Personal Protective Clothing – material used to protect the dress of

the patron and the operator
6. Curling Rods – tools used to produce curls and waves while the hair
strands are being wound around it
7. Comb with Tail – a tool used to remove hair tangles
8. Large toothed Comb – a tool used to comb out newly curled hair
9. Hair clips and Clamps – used to hold the sectioned hair in place.
10. End Paper – porous paper used to ensure smooth winding of the hair
around the curling rods
11
11. Neckstrip – used to protect the dress of your patron from the small
cut hair during the cutting and trimming of hair
12. Processing cape – used to cover the head of hair after winding, to
insure heat and help in the easy processing of the head of curl
13. Perming lotion (cold wave lotion) – softens the hair so that it
assumes the shape of the curler around which is wound
14. Neutralizer – stops the action of the waving lotion on the hair and
sets the new hair into a permanently curled position
15. Application bottle –used to hold the chemicals in perming; it is

especially made of plastic
16. Shampoo and Conditioner – used to wash out the applied chemicals
17. Bath Towel – used to wipe off excess water on the hair after
shampooing
18. Tissue paper – used to wipe off excess moisture
19. Barber’s brush – used to remove small cut hair with the aid of
powder
20. Scissors – used to trim the hair after the cold wave process
CURLING RODS
Proper selection of curling rods is essential for successful cold

waving.
Rods control the shape of the hair shaft during the cold wave
process. They vary in diameter, length, composition and design.
Diameter – the distance through the center of the rod.

Circumference – the distance around the rod.
The circumference determines the size of the wave or curl

formation.
Rod lengths are available in long, medium, short and very short
sizes.
12
RODS ARE GENERALLY CLASSIFIED AS ILLUSTRATED BELOW
CHEMICALS USED IN HAIR PERMING
THIOGLYCOLIC ACID, maybe present in a cold waving lotion. The

presence of the latter in a cold wave lotion gives it an alkaline reaction.
Other materials included maybe lanolin and its derivatives, wetting
agents, solutions of proteins and hair conditioners of various types.
WAVING LOTIONS vary in strength. They are available in both one

bottle or two bottle applications.
ONE-BOTTLE APPLICATION. The lotion begins the softening

action as soon as it is applied. The action slows down as the lotion
evaporates. The action is speeded up when the lotion is reapplied
to saturate the hair. Good workmanship and a reasonable amount
of speed is essential.
CAUTION: Avoid interruption during a one-bottle application.
AVOID INTERRUPTION DURING A ONE-BOTTLE APPLICATION
TWO-BOTTLE APPLICATION. One bottle contains a lotion with special

ingredients to protect, equalize the porosity and strengthen the hair
shaft. It is applied prior to winding of the hair. A second bottle contains
the waving lotion and is used to saturate the hair.
13
NEUTRALIZERS
Neutralizer is a chemical used to stop the action of the waving

lotion and rehardens the hair cells into their new form. After the hair has
assumed the desired shape, it is chemically neutralized. Conditioners are
often incorporated with the prepared neutralizer to impart luster and give
some protection to the hair.
SECTIONING AND BLOCKING OF THE HAIR
Sectioning is dividing the hair into uniform areas. Uniform wave

patterns depend on:
 Uniformly arranged sections

 Equally subdivided sections
 Clean and uniform partings
 Blockings which should be about ½ inch shorter than the rod
length.
Blocking is a term usually used to designate the subdividing of the

hair sections. This is done as each portion is wound around the rod. The
size of the blockings is determined by the diameter of the rods the density
and the texture of the hair.
Thickly growing hair requires smaller blockings and larger rods to

permit better arrangement for a wave pattern.
Thin hair requires smaller blockings and smaller rods to prevent

strain or breakage and to form a good wave pattern close to the head.
The average blockings for a standard wave pattern should be

slightly wider than the rod being used. Usually the blockings are smaller
at the nape of the neck.
CAUTION: If too much hair is wound around the rod or wound too tight, neither
the waving lotion nor the neutralizer will penetrate, resulting in an uneven
wave formation.
14
SECTIONING AND BLOCKING PATTERN
WINDING AND WRAPPING THE HAIR
To form a uniform wave, with strong ridge, hair must be wrapped

smoothly and neatly on each rod without stretching.
Hair is not stretched due to the fact that the penetration of waving
lotion causes the hair to expand.
Tight wrapping or stretching interferes with this expansion and

prevents the penetration of the lotion or may cause hair breakage.
Correctly centered rods prevent possible scalp irritation and permit

a wrap closer to the scalp.
CAUTION: When wrapping hair, always prevent bulkiness on the rod. Bulkiness
prevents the formation of a good curl because the hair cannot conform to the
shape of the rods
15
PROCEDURE FOR SINGLE FLAT WRAP
16
PROCEDURE FOR A DOUBLE FLAT WRAP
Hair end protection. Porous end papers are used to insure smooth
wrapping and to prevent distorting the circle formation.
TEST CURLS
Test curls help to determine in advance how the patron’s hair will
react to the cold waving process. A pre-permanent test curl gives the
cosmetologist information on how best to protect the patron’s hair and
how to obtain the best possible results.
Regular testing enables the cosmetologist to observe the reaction

of the hair as to:
 Speed of the wave formation

 Overall picture of wave formation
 Exact time when peak of wave formation has been reached
 Resistant areas.
TEST CURL WAVE DEVELOPMENT METHOD
After the hair has been shampooed, wrap two or three curls on the
upper back of the head. Each curl is given a complete treatment being
timed and examined according to manufacturer’s directions. Use a
different type of waving lotion on each test curl to determine best results.
After neutralizing and rinsing the curls, judge and record the results.
17
Test curl wave development method is the part of the processing
phase of a cold wave. Each head of hair is different. Conditions vary, even
on the same head of hair. A patron’s hair will not always process the
same length of time with its permanent wave.
Neither will one type of wave always process in the same length of
time on every head.
Wave Development should be tested:
1. immediately after the last rod is secured;

2. following the re-wet application; and
3. every 30 seconds thereafter until wave formation occurred.
Analysis of Test Curl
1. Thoroughly blot the waving solution from the curl to be

tested.
2. Loosen the rod fastener.
3. Unwind rod 1 ½ turns. Do not let the hair become loose or
unravel on the rod. Hold it firmly with thumbs touching the
rod.
4. Unwind without pulling on the strands. Since the hair is in
softened condition, pulling or stretching the strand will spoil
the test. Push the rod slightly toward the scalp, with the
thumbs holding the hair firm. Permit the hair to relax into a
wave pattern without pushing or pulling at it.
5. rewind the test curl
Continue testing for wave development at regular intervals. Test on

different areas of the head each time. Do not use the same curl for
retesting.
Unwinding hair without pulling Push rod slightly toward scalp
18
APPLICATION OF WAVING LOTION
If the hair is being wound with waving lotion, apply the lotion ½
inch from the scalp. Extend it to about one inch from the hair ends.
Comb the lotion through the strand. Comb from underneath with an
upward motion, thereby distributing the lotion evenly throughout the
hair strand. Use about one fourth of the lotion n winding the entire head.
This assures that the hair is moistened with the lotion, not thoroughly
saturated.
Moistening the hair with the lotion, only for the wrapping
procedure, the action slows down. Then the hair on the rods must be
rewet or saturated to start the process again, this is the rewet
procedure. The additional lotion assures complete penetration into the
hair shaft.
REMEMBER
 Always follow the manufacturers directions for winding and

applying the waving lotion.
 The cosmetologist should wear protective gloves to cover hands

to protect the skin from chemical injury.
CAUTION:
 DO NOT LEAVE THE PATRON ALONE WHILE PROCESSING THE

HAIR.
 DO NOT INTERRUPT THE REWET STEP.
 DO NOT PERMIT THE NOZZLE OF THE APPLICATOR BOTTLE TO
DRAG ACROSS THE ROD WHILE SATURATING.
 IF THE LOTION GETS INTO THE PATRON’S EYES, RINSE
IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER.
19
APPLICATOR BOTTLE
A plastic bottle with nozzle top makes the most efficient applicator.
It dispenses liquid freely yet with good control. Bottles should be
absolutely clean before filling with perming lotion. Leftover traces of
neutralizer will weaken the action of the waving lotion.
PROCESSING TIME
Processing time is the length of time required for the hair strands
to absorb the waving lotion and complete the total rearrangement of the
hair cells around the rod.
Processing time varies due to:
 lotion;
 hair texture;
 hair porosity;
 hair length;
 hair condition;
 atmospheric conditions;
 patron’s body heat; and
 working speed of the cosmetologist.
WAVE PATTERN FORMATION
As the hair is processing, the wave has reached its peak when it
forms a firm letter “S.” The size of the rod used determines the size of the
“S” pattern.
The “S” pattern reaches a peak only once. It does not re-form
again. Beyond this point the hair is over-processed and damaged.
OVER AND UNDER PROCESSED HAIR RESULT
NEUTRALIZATION OF THE HAIR
20
The waving lotion produces the curl formation by rearranging the
cells of the hair shaft into a new alignment. The rods hold the hair in this
formation until it is “hardened” or “fixed” by neutralization.
METHODS OF NEUTRALIZATION
There are three methods of application of

neutralizers in general use:
1. Applicator method. The neutralizer

comes prepared and has a thicker
consistency than other types. It is
applied with an applicator bottle
and can be done away from the
shampoo bowl. Some manufac-
turers refer to this type of
application as an instant method.
2. Self-lathering method. Due to its

shampoo content, this type of
neutralizer cleanses away the
waving lotion. It is also applied with
an applicator bottle. This is another
of the so-called instant methods.
3. Splash or pour-over method. This

is a diluted solution, using
neutralizer mixed with water as per
manufacturer’s directions. It must
be applied at the shampoo bowl.
Thorough application is absolutely
necessary for good results. It is
sometimes referred to as the
conventional method.
REMINDER:
Correct processing time can spell

difference between success and failure in cold
waving

Definition of Terms
Tension – stress caused by stretching or pulling
Recondition –the application of special substance to the hair in

order to improve its condition
Rinse – to cleanse with second or repeated application of water

after washing
Irritated – to make inflamed or sore
Gently – not being harsh or rough
28
AFTER AND FINAL CARE OF A PERMED HAIR
The after–care of the patron’s cold wave helps to keep the hair in
the best possible condition.
Reconditioning treatments for patrons also have a place in the

after–care of a cold wave and between cold waves.
It includes regular hair care, as follows
1. Shampoo hair weekly with proper shampoo and rinse.

2. Use proper hair conditioner as directed by the manufacturer.
3. Comb and brush the hair daily. Use type of brush best suited to the
hair.
4. Avoid excessive brushing or combing in the wrong direction.
5. Have the patron’s hair trimmed and styled at regular intervals in order
to make the hairstyle more serviceable.
CARING FOR PERMED HAIR
After having a perm your hair will be much drier. You will need to
condition your hair after every shampoo, and use conditioning oil
treatment once a week.
Avoid over brushing or blow drying for at least once a week after
the perm, as the heat may cause the hair to snap and split. Avoid heated
tongs and rollers for the same reason. For maximum cure, leave your
hair to dry naturally after washing and conditioning.
AFTER THE PERM
 Check the results of perming.
 Has the scalp been irritated by the perm lotion?

 Is the hair in good condition?
 Is the curl even?
 Dry the hair into style.
 Depending on the effect you want, you may now use

finger drying, hood drying or blow drying.
 Treat the hair gently. If you handle it too firmly the perm
may relax again.
 Advise the patron on how to manage the perm at home.
 The hair should not be shampooed for a day or two.

 The manufacturer of the perm lotion may have supplied
information to be passed to the patron.
 Discuss general hair care with your patron.
29
 Clean all tools thoroughly so that they are ready for the next
patron.
 Complete the patron’s record card. Note details of the type of

person, the strength of the waving lotion, the processing time,
the curler sizes, and the winding technique. Record any
problems you have had. This information will be useful if the
hair is permed again.
WAVING TOOLS AND PRODUCTS STORED ACCORDING TO SALON

POLICIES
Waving tools such as combs, brushes, curlers, and so forth are

made from plastics. These materials are relatively easy to keep
hygienically safe, if they are used and cleaned properly in getting ready
for the next patron.
Combs should be washed frequently. When not in use they should

be immersed into an antibacterial solution. When needed they can be
rinsed and dried and are then ready for use.
Discard empty bottles and containers in a covered trash bin. Wave

products which were unused should be thrown and discarded in the
washing vessel if its liquid. Don’t bring them back in the original
container. Arrange them in the cabinet in the order of use. Read labels
carefully.
LET US REMEMBER
After having a perm proper hair care must be undertaken:

 You need to condition the hair after every shampoo.
 Use a conditioning oil treatment once a week.
 Avoid over brushing and combing the newly permed hair.
 Avoid blow drying for at least a week after the perm as the
heat may cause hair to split.
 Leave your hair to dry naturally after washing and
conditioning.
Give a brief answer to the following questions:
1. Why should safety rules be observed in cold waving?

2. To achieve better results, what should guide you in the perming
process?

PATRON’S CARE
Patron’s care is essential to your success as a hairdresser. It is an

important part of all that you do for the patron in the salon. It involves
concern for your patron, and genuinely wanting to meet all his/her needs
satisfactorily.
Patron’s care means looking after his/her safety and making sure
that he/she is comfortable, satisfied with the service and safely attended.
This begins when the client/patron enters the salon and continues until
he/she leaves.
For patron’s care to be fully attended to, an initial consultation is

essential. This applies to both new and regular patrons.
3
Consultation
A consultation is a meeting at which advice is given and taken,

consists of talking to the patron, listening to her so that you can consider
her needs and jointly negotiating a suitable course of action. You will be
expected to exchange views with her, and to discuss with her just what is
to be done with her hair.
TIPS
 Good client care starts with careful

consultation.
 Record all client information.
 Ensure that it is easy to retrieve.
Patrons expect the salon to be clean. They expect that good hygiene is
maintained.
There are various kinds of hair and scalp treatment, the two most
common kinds are:

curative mineral /spring water that relaxes hair, making it relieved
Hair Reborn – a hair treatment given to maintain its healthy condition
that brings hair back to its normal desired condition
Hot Oil Treatment – a hair treatment is given to patron who suffers dry
and brittle hair to prevent the occurrence of split ends
Ask the patron which hair and scalp treatment he/she prefers, as this
may need different kinds of materials and treatment products to be used.
Ways to Keep the salon Hygienically Clean
 Use only clean towels and gowns for each patron.

 Wash combs and brushes before sterilizing or disinfecting them.
 Use 70% alcohol for cleaning tools.
 Keep floors and surfaces clear, tidy and clean.
 Maintain good personal and general hygiene.
 Wash your hands regularly.

PREPARING THE PATRONS
Once patron has arrived for an appointment and you have taken
care of his/her belongings, find out what services have been requested
and prepare patron accordingly.

 Place tissue or towel over the patron’s collar and
shoulders.
 Place a suitably sized gown, and secure it.
 Make sure all the patron’s clothes are covered.
 All materials are secured so that they remain in place.
Hair needs to be free from tangles.
 Loose the hair apart with your fingers.

 Using a wide-toothed comb, start combing the hair,
upward to the scalp.
 Remove tangles without pulling, scratching or breaking
the comb.
 Brush and comb hair smoothly without jerking the
patron’s head.
 Check on the scalp for abrasions or blemishes.
PREPARING TOOLS / EQUIPMENT
Choose a comb that is unbroken, flexible, well balanced, non-

flammable, resistant to chemicals, and easy to clean. It should have
widely spaced teeth, and have no mould marks or sharp edges.
Use only good quality tools to avoid damaging the hair and apply
them gently and correctly.
A good brush will penetrate and grip the hair and allow you to
place the hair where you want it.
