Shampoo and condition : Contraindications
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What contra-indications could be identified at consultation ? | Cuts and abrasions Infections or infestations Scalp/skin disorders Allergies to products Recent scar tissue or injuries in scalp area |
| How would you identify Normal hair/scalp | Hair is shiny and cuticles are smooth. Scalp will be pinky/white with no dryness or oiliness |
| How would you identify DRY hair/scalp | May be dull as light is absorbed rather than reflected. Cuticles may be slightly raised |
| Dry hair - likely cause | - Damaged - chemically, environmentally or due to heat - Very curly hair is naturally dry as oil cannot travel down hair shaft easily |
| Recommendations for Dry hair | Moisturising shampoo and conditioner. If hair is fine be careful not to overload hair with too much product as that would weigh down the hair |
| Another word for oily hair | Seborrhoea |
| How to identify Seborrhoea | Hair is wet looking at root area and slightly along hair shaft. Oily hair can also 'clump' together rather than lie as single hairs |
| Seborrhoea -Likely cause | hair is due to be shampooed - hair and scalp insufficiently cleansed - sweating - overactive sebaceous glands - diet |
| Recommendations for Seborrhoea | Use shampoo for oily hair and surface conditioner on ends and mid-lengths Treatment for mid-length and ends and leave in scalp treatment to aid seborrhoea control Advise client that eating healthy reduces oily hair |
| How to identify Pityriasis capitis | Yellow flakes due to fungi or yeast or dry and white flakes |
| Likely cause of Pityriasis capitis | Fungi, yeast or stress |
| Recommendations for Pityriasis capitis | Refer to GP if fungal. If stress related, caused by overproduction of skin cells, use medicated shampoo. Use condition specific scalp treatment to aid dandruff control |
| How to identify a Sensitive scalp | May be whiter than normal and have white flakes close to the scalp or appear pink/red and be tender to touch |
| Likely cause of a Sensitive scalp | Allergies, chemicals, sunburn, infection or infestation, hair extensions |
| Recommendation for Sensitive scalp | Use products for sensitive scalp and avoid heavily perfumed shampoos and conditioners |
| Impact of product allergies on services | Ask if client has experienced any previous allergies with products or if they have nut or aloe Vera allergy as these can be in products. Check ingredients before use if client has any allergies |
| Impact of recent scar tissue on services | Check scar has healed. Use gentle massage movements around scar tissue area |
| Impact of cuts and abrasions on services | If cut is open, don't carry out service. If sore use gentle massage movements. Avoid treatments containing alcohol as may sting |
