Word of the week- Classification 

Recall the massage techniques learnt to date

Massage techniques 

Effleurage

Petrissage

Rotary

 Friction

Providing a good shampoo & conditioning service will relax our clients and stimulate blood flow to the scalp which aids in healthy functioning of the hair and scalp. 

Effleurage 

WHEN IS IT USED:

During shampooing and conditioning. 

HOW TO PREFORM:

Effleurage massage is a gentle stroking movement. It is used to apply and distribute shampoo and conditioner to the hair. 

Rotary 

WHEN IS IT USED:

During shampooing

HOW TO PREFORM:

Rotary is a firm, fast circular movement using the pads of fingers over the scalp. 

BENEFIT TO CLIENT:

Stimulates the blood supply to the scalp, relaxing.

Friction 

WHEN IS IT USED:

During shampooing

HOW TO PREFORM:

Friction is a vigorous rubbing movement using the finger pads. It is only done for a few minutes working from the front to back of the head. 

REASON FOR USE AND BENEFITS:

Stimulates the sebaceous glands and blood flow because of the quick, firm movements. Only carried out on dry scalps. 

Must not be used on clients with oily scalps!!!!!!!

Petrissage 

WHEN IS IT USED: During conditioning

HOW TO PREFORM:

Petrissage is a slow, firm, deep, circular kneading movement. The idea of the massage is to move the scalp, not your hands. Not to be used on oily scalps.

REASONS AND BENEFITS:

Relaxing end to the shampoo and conditioning service. Stimulates the sebaceous glands and blood flow.

- Any shampoo or product that gets in the eyes must be rinsed with eye wash, report it to a member of staff. 

- Check for allergies

Aim - Complete a penetrating conditioning treatment and round brush blow dry on a peer.

Lesson Objectives:

• Recall the massage techniques used during the shampoo and conditioning process.
• Describe the differences between a surface and a penetrating conditioning treatment.
• Recall the layers of the hair structure and the relevant hair tests.
• Complete a penetrating conditioning treatment on a peer 
• To incorporate a minimum of 1 styling and 1 finishing product.

What type of conditioner did we use last week?

Surface conditioner

Surface conditioners are everyday conditioners which smooth the cuticle layer and temporarily improves the condition of the cortex 

Surface Conditioners 

Smooths the Hair Cuticle

Seals and flattens the outer layer of the hair shaft.

Reduces friction between strands, minimising damage

Adds Shine

Smooth surface reflects light better, giving hair a glossy appearance.

Surface Conditioners 

Improves Manageability

Makes detangling easier by reducing knots and snags.

Helps hair feel softer and more pliable.

Reduces Frizz and Flyaway

Neutralises static charge on hair strands

Creates a polished, controlled look

Surface Conditioners 

Protects Against Damage

Forms a protective barrier against heat styling, UV rays, and pollutants

Moisturises and Nourishes

Delivers essential moisture and nutrients to dry or damaged hair.

Helps restore elasticity and resilience

Surface Conditioners 

Minimises Split Ends and Breakage

Temporarily mends split ends and strengthens the hair shaft

Reduces breakage from mechanical stress like brushing or styling

Penetrating  Conditioners 

Moisturises Deeply 

Infuses moisture into the inner layers of the hair, especially helpful for dry, brittle strands.

Strengthens Hair Structure 

Often contains proteins (like keratin or hydrolysed wheat protein) that rebuild damaged areas inside the hair shaft.

Penetrating  Conditioners 

Improves Elasticity 

Helps hair stretch without snapping, reducing breakage and split ends.

Restores Shine and Smoothness 

By filling in gaps and smoothing the cuticle, it enhances shine and reduces frizz.

Penetrating  Conditioners 

Protects Against Future Damage Creates a stronger foundation that can better withstand heat styling, chemical treatments, and environmental stressors.

Penetrating  Conditioners 

Enhances Manageability 

Makes detangling easier and reduces knots, especially in textured or curly hair.

Balances Porosity 

Helps overly porous hair retain moisture better, which is key for colour-treated or chemically processed hair.

Penetrating conditioning treatment

Penetrating conditioners are deep treatment conditioners which go deeper into the cortex 

Penetrating Treatment

• Penetrating conditioners are deep conditioning treatments
  
• They penetrate the hairs outer layer into the cortex  and adds strength and moisture to the hair
  
• Penetrating conditioners need to be on the hair for 1-15 minutes depending on the manufacturers’ instructions.
  
• Putting the client under heat helps the conditioner to penetrate deeper into the hair
  

Penetrating Treatment and Blow-dry- using Wella Ultimate Repair 

Task

Complete a full consultation on your peer and swap. Carry out all relevant tests to identify which penetrating treatment you will use on your clients hair.

Hair Structure

Label the Hair structure 

Cuticle 

• Is made up of transparent overlapping scales 
• Heat/ chemicals will open the cuticles 
• The cuticle scales should ideally be closed from root to tip to give the hair shine and lustre 
• Healthy hair reflects light 
• Damaged cuticle scales will make the hair feel porous and appear dull
• When the hair is in good condition they are water repellent and when in poor condition they will allow more water to be absorbed into the hair making it more porous. 

Cortex 

• This is the section under the cuticle and is where most the action happens.  
• Your natural colour is determined in the cortex and this is where artificial colouring mostly takes place.
• It is this layer that has the bonds which hold your hair in place to determine if your hair is straight, wavy, curly or very curly. 
• Where the hair is temporarily or chemically changed from straight to curly or curly to straight. 
• It is the main part of the hair that gives it's strength and elasticity.  

Medulla  

• The medulla is the least interesting layer. 
• it is the central part of the hair but is not always present. 
•  In a single strand it may fade in and out when analysed under a microscope  or it may be present all the way through in some hair types.
• it tends to appear in more thicker or coarser hair textures. 

Benefits of using styling products on the hair 

Using styling products on the hair offers several benefits, including:

Enhanced Appearance: Styling products help achieve desired hairstyles, adding volume, shine, or texture for a polished look.

Improved Manageability: They make hair easier to shape, hold, and control, reducing frizz and flyway's.

Protection: Some products shield hair from environmental damage, such as heat, UV rays, or humidity.

Longevity of Style: Products like hairspray or gel ensure hairstyles last longer by providing a firm hold.

Healthier Hair: Certain products contain nourishing ingredients that moisturise, strengthen, or repair hair. 

By choosing the right products, you can enhance your hair's look and feel while maintaining its health.
