creating a barrier so further services are prevented
removing debris and barriers to prepare hair for further services
The potential outcome of using incorrect shampoo or conditioner is that the hair could become:
shiny, with an open, smooth cuticle

A a dry scalp resulting from sunburn and too much heat
B an overactive production and shedding of epidermal cells
C an overactive production of sebum from the sebaceous gland
D an uneven production of keratin in the follicle and medulla
It is important to remove excess water at the end of the service to:
A avoid dehydration of hair and dilution of products for further services
B ensure client comfort and prevent dilution of products for further service
C prepare the cortex for further service and avoid scalp discomfort
