What do you already know about washing and blow-drying hair?

Steps for Washing Hair

Begin with brushing and combing to detangle before washing. Wet the hair, apply shampoo, and rinse thoroughly, repeating the shampooing process for a second wash. Apply conditioner, rinse it out, and towel dry the hair. Optionally, apply detangling conditioner.

While Shampooing: Considerations

When shampooing, ensure the client's comfort and manage water temperature.

Steps for Blow-Drying Hair

Finger dry the hair until it's 80% dry, section it, and then blow-dry starting from the back. Ensure the hair is completely dry, apply tension for smoothness, use a cool setting to close the cuticle, and finish with a styling product.
