Formative vs Summative assessment

Formative assessment:

A formative assessment is like a practice assessment. You will be mostly confident in carrying out the service, but there may be small areas you need to focus on in order to reach summative assessment (timings, sectioning etc…)

Summative assessment:

A summative assessment is a graded practical assessment (pass, merit, distinction). You will only undertake this is your tutor feels you are ready. You only have ONE chance to achieve a graded assessment. If you fail, the subsequent assessment will only be a pass.

A porosity test is carried out before ALL services. 

This test will check how porous the hair is by assessing the cuticle scales (outer layer of the hair). 

To carry out this test:

- Take a few stands of DRY hair

- Run your fingers up the hair shaft 

- Take note if this feels rough and bumpy or smooth. 

If the hair feel rough and bumpy, the cuticle layers are damaged and the hair is going to absorb more water and product. 

If the hair is smooth, this means the hair is not externally damaged and the hair is healthy.

To carry out an incompatability test: 

1. Take a small test cutting from the hair 
2. Mix up 40ml of 6% LIQUID peroxide and 20 mls (6 drops) of perm loton.
3. Place the test cutting in the solution and leave from up to 30 mins
