Do now Task... Recap 

What are the four types of micro-organisms?

Micro-organisms

There are 4 types of infections caused by Micro organisms:

BACTERIAL INFECTION

FUNGAL INFECTION

VIRAL INFECTION

INFESTATIONS

Bacterial infections

Bacteria are single celled organisms which vary in size and exist as spores.

Bacteria can multiply very quickly in the right conditions (warm and moist environments)

Examples of bacterial infections are:

Impetigo, Conjunctivitis, Acne Vulgaris  

Fungal infections

Fungi infections include moulds and yeasts and are naturally occurring on the human skin.

They feed on organic matter. They secrete enzymes which break the organic matter down, and the fungi then absorb the nutrients which are released as the organic matter decomposes.

Fungi produce spores

Ringworm

Thrush 

Viral infections

Viruses are tiny infectious micro-organisms which multiply in the cells of other living organisms.

Such as:

Warts

Herpes

Flu/ COVID

HIV/AIDS 

Infestations

Infestations are caused by tiny insects which live off the blood of their host

Example of infestations are:

Pediculosis capitis (head lice)

Scabies

How can Micro- Organisms be transmitted?

Infections and Infestations transmitted by:

• DIRECT CONTACT
  
• INDIRECT CONTACT
  
• INHALATION
  
• INGESTION
  
• INJECTION
  

 Keywords Task-  Write a paragraph using as many keywords as possible. Remember to check spellings... 

Once completed swap your work with a peer and get them to check if they can add or amend any aspects.

List as many Keywords you can think that relate to ' Contra- Indications '

Contra- Indications

Incompatibility with previous products and services

History of allergic reactions

Adverse hair, skin or scalp

Suspected infections and infestations

Medical advice

What is a contra-indication?

1. A recommended action for a particular treatment
2. A common side effect of the treatment
3. Something that may limit or effect the service
4. A medical condition that is easily treatable

Why is it important to consider contra-indications?

1. To provide additional benefits to the service
2. To speed up the process of the service
3. To ensure the safety and effectiveness of the service
4. To increase the cost of the service

Can you list the different Factors

I see....... 

What do you see in this picture? Discuss...

Can you list the three layers of the hair structure?

Write down as many different facts about 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. 

What happens when the cuticle scales are damaged?

1. Hair loses color
2. Hair feels porous and appears dull
3. Hair grows faster
4. Hair becomes thicker

What causes the cuticle to become damaged?

What can open the cuticles?

1. Water
2. Sunlight
3. Heat/chemicals
4. Brushing

What is the cuticle made up of?

1. Transparent overlapping scales
2. Sebaceous glands
3. Protein fibers
4. Melanin pigment

Cortex 

• This is the section under the cuticle and is where most the action happens.  
• It is made up of long, coiled protein strands called Keratin
• 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.  

Which part of the hair is responsible for its strength and elasticity?

1. Cuticle
2. Epidermis
3. Medulla
4. Cortex

Which layer of the hair holds the bonds to determine its texture?

1. Epidermis
2. Medulla
3. Cortex
4. Cuticle

Which layer of the hair is responsible for determining your natural color?

1. Medulla
2. Epidermis
3. Cuticle
4. Cortex

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. 

In which hair types is the medulla more likely to be present all the way through?

1. Blonde or brunette hair types
2. Thicker or coarser hair types
3. Curly or wavy hair types
4. Thin or fine hair types

Is the medulla always present in every strand of hair?

1. No
2. Sometimes
3. Yes
4. It depends on the hair type

Explain the difference between Vellus and Terminal hair

Vellus Hair 

Vellus hair is the short, thin, and light-coloured hair that occurs during childhood. It can grow up to 2 mm in length. Moreover, it grows in most of the body parts except lips, palm, back of the ear, sole of the foot, etc. The main function of vellus hair is to keep the body warm.

Terminal Hair 

Terminal hair is the thick, coarse hair that grows on your scalp and makes up your eyelashes and eyebrows. After puberty, terminal hair may also grow on your face, armpits, pubic area, chest and belly (abdomen). Terminal hair covers about 30% of your body’s surface in people assigned female at birth. It covers about 90% of your body’s surface in people assigned male at birth.

Can you list the Characteristics

Hair Characteristics 

Hair Density 

Hair Texture 

Hair Growth Patterns 

Elasticity 

Porosity 

Hair Condition 

Hair Density 

Hair density refers to the amount of hair and is described as Sparse, Average ( Medium)  or Abundant.

• Sparse hair often means the hair is fine and there is not a lot of it covering the head. The scalp may be visible through the hair, less product will be required and the types of hairstyles that will suit this density will need to be considered.
  
• Abundant hair means the client has a full head of hair, this may be fine or coarse in texture
• Abundant hair requires more product more drying time, it will take longer for services to be carried out.
• Sparse hair- Cutting techniques will need to be considered as the hair may need to be thinned out.
  

Hair Elasticity 

Refers to how weak or strong the hair is and whether the cortex layer has been damaged.

You will need to consider if the hair is strong enough to take additional chemicals or whether to advise another product i.e. colour or styling products.

Consider how much tension is applied.

Hair Texture 

Hair texture refers to the thickness of each strand of hair and is described as

Fine, Medium or Coarse.

• Fine hair has a small circumferences and fewer layers of cuticle scales.
  
• Medium hair is greater in circumferences than fine hair with an average numbers of layers.
  
• Coarse hair a large circumference and the most layers of cuticle scales.
  
• Fine hair will absorb chemicals much faster than coarse hair because there are fewer cuticle scales. 
• Coarse hair can often be resistant to chemicals.
  
• A porosity test can be carried out on all textures to check whether these cuticle scales are rough and open, or smooth and closed.
  

Hair Condition 

Normal, dry, oily or damaged ( by chemicals or environmental, heat or lifestyle).

Identify how it has been damaged, advise client on how to prevent further damage and improve the condition.

Damaged hair is likely to have poor elasticity and or porosity.

Consider if a chemical treatment should be carried out.
