Hair tests
Skin or patch test
This test is carried out prior to a colour service to check for allergies to colour. The main ingredient clients can react to is paraphenylenediamine (PPD)
These tests can also be carried out prior to a perming process, where you will be checking for allergies to ammonium thioglycollate.
You must check MFI for how to carry out the skin test, as how this is done differs between manufacturers.
Incompatibility test
An incompatibility test is carried out when you suspect the presence of incompatible products on the hair. The main incompatible product are metallic salts which can be found in home colouring products.
To carry out the test:
Take a small piece of hair from the clients head.
mix 20ml of 6% (10vol) and 1ml of perm lotion in a bowl
Place hair in the mixture and monitor for 30 minutes
Hair which has reacted can discolour, break, heat can be created and bubble may form in the mixture
Strand test
A strand test is completed during the colour development process to ensure the colour has developed as required.
This can be done at the end of the set development time, or at regular intervals when using lightener.
To complete:
Use a damp piece of cotton wool to remove a small amount of colour
If it has reached the required colour, then it can be removed. If not, cover over and continue development.
Development test curl
Similar to a strand test, a development test curl is completed during the perming process to check the degree of curl which has been achieved.
To complete:
Unwind the perm rod 1/2-2/3.
Gently push the hair up to encourage the curl
Look for an s bend which is the same width as the perm rod being used.
If the perm is ready, progress to neutralise. If not, rewind the perm and continue to develop.
Test cutting
A test cutting is taken before colouring, lightening or perming hair to ensure the desired result can be achieved, or to make sure the hair is strong enough.
A small piece of hair is taken and target colour is applied or hair is wrapped around perm rod and developed.
This will show the end result, and also if the hair is strong enough to carry out the service.
When perming, this can also be known as a pre perm text cutting
Elasticity test
Elasticity tests check the internal strength of he hair (cortex). This is carried out on wet hair before ALL services. Hair should stretch to around 30% its original length, and then return to its original length. Hair which is in poor condition with either not return to its original length, or continue to stretch and eventually break!!!!
Completed on wet hair, around 20 strands of hair are placed between finger and thumb and gently pulled to stretch.
Porosity test
Porosity test is completed to check the external layer of hair (cuticle). This is done before ALL services to assess how porous the hair is.
Damaged hair with raised cuticles will absorb more moisture, meaning more colour, perm lotion or products could enter the hair which could result in an uneven end result.
To complete take a few strands of dry hair and run fingers along from root to tip. Cuticles which are damaged will feel rough and bumpy. Smooth cuticles indicate hair which is in good condition
Communication
Why is effective communication important?
Why is communication important?
Good communication is essential within hairdressing.
Without it, key information can be missed, resulting in unhappy clients and possible damaged hair.
Good communication is key to finding out:
What the client wants
How they look after the hair
What is on their hair
Factors and contra indications
How we communicate
