How to do a conditioning treatment.

Today we did conditioning treatments. Here is how to do it.

Section the hair into four ( a hot cross bun section) using Maths! 

Get your tinting bowl and brush and of course conditioner.

Estimate how much you will need. There's the maths again! 

Apply he conditioner. Make sure you wear gloves and an apron for personal protection.

Until it is all covered.

Next the massages.

 Oops we forgot to take a photo of this so we got this one of Lisa instead.

Next it's the hot towels. Ouch these were HOT

Squeeze that water out James!

Nice and relaxing

Then a good rinse is needed to get rid of all the conditioner.

And finally the blow dry to finish the treatment off.

Feels lovely and soft now. 

Shampooing!

Our first shampooing experience today.

Lisa showed us a demonstration using Hassan ( who seemed to really enjoy it) then we got into pairs and had a try ourselves. 

We loved it and felt like 'proper' hairdressers! 

Next came the drying of the hair and we learnt some techniques to get the hair smooth. 

Lisa and Mary both said we were amazing.

Some of the things we learnt were...

The massages have strange names and we must learn how to spell them.

Shampoo is measured in millilitres.

It is very relaxing if done properly.

The hair should be dried from root to tip 

Different brushes do different things.
