Text А. HAIR CARE AND CONDITIONING

Read and translate the text.

The main theme of this book is how to achieve the excellence in haircutting which is synonymous with the name Vidal Sassoon. However, it would be incomplete without mentioning conditioning and hair care. The secret of beautiful hair relies as much upon conditioning as it does upon superb cutting. If the hair is in top condition, the finished result will look better and last longer. Cuts will shine and swing, curls will be bubbly and free from frizz.

The five stages of hair care:

Cleanse and Prepare

Healthy, shining hair starts with the correct shampoo, used in a proper manner. There are three vital things to remember:

(a) The shampoo you use should be acid-balanced which leaves the scalp and hair in the required slightly acid state. Today's modern shampoos employ various conditioning and moisturizing agents to compensate for the deep cleansing action of the shampoo itself. Pro-vitamin B-5 and micronized proteins are examples of excellent materials which penetrate into and act upon the hair giving it additional body and strength.

(b) Shampoo should be used in small quantities, with sufficient activity to cleanse the hair. If, during the first application there are lasting stable suds, they demonstrate that all waxes, oils, and grime have been totally emulsified and there is still additional activity in the shampoo, and one application is sufficient. Only if the suds dissipate rapidly is a second shampoo necessary.

(c) All traces of shampoo must be rinsed away very thoroughly. Residual shampoo is highly undesirable and many 'dandruff complaints are the result of insufficient rinsing and the resulting residual activity on the scalp which creates dryness.

Conditioners

The list of damaging agents affecting the hair includes chemical processing, illness, sun, improper or over-frequent blow-drying, heat, water and, of course, the increasing age of the hair itself as it grows.

Liquid Hydrolyzed Protein is the finest known reconditioner of damaged hair, both internally and externally. A small amount of this substance when applied, actually becomes a part of the hair itself! Properly acidified (pH 6.0), a liquid protein conditioner not only strengthens the hair shaft, but smoothes the cuticle of the hair, restoring lustre and sheen. In effect, it fills in the damaged areas of the hair shaft. After conditioning, all excess material not absorbed should be thoroughly rinsed away. No client will thank you for leaving hair in a sticky, lack-lustre condition.

Texturizing

Modern chemistry today provides a means of 'texturizing' hair through the use of a finishing rinse. A proper finishing rinse removes all tangles from the hair shaft and will add pro-vitamin B-5 in sufficient amounts to give extra body to the hair. Rough, wiry hair will remain in the desired softened condition if cool water is used to rinse off any excess. Fine and/or oily hair will maintain the additional body but will fluff if warm to hot water is used. Upon completion of the rinse, the acidification and moisturizer will leave the hair with the required sheen.

Seal and Protect

Sealing and protection can be given to the hair shaft with periodical use of the Sassoon Protein Pac Treatments. Micronized proteins are absorbed by the hair and special protective moisturizers 'plate' the hair, creating super sheen plus protection against the harsh action of blow-dryers, hot irons, etc. Treatments are generally used when hair is in a severely damaged condition with dry and frizzy ends and/or breakage. Two or three treatments are usually necessary to restore the hair to good condition and from time to time these should be carried out professionally in the salon. It is important for your client to understand that one treatment cannot work miracles. As with health and diet, a regime of continuous care is needed to achieve and maintain the desired results. Your reward and your client's reward will be beautiful and healthy hair to complement the creative stylist's haircut

Home Hair Care

It is very important that the client understands that a home hair-care maintenance programme be followed to keep the hair in its luxurious condition once the professional has accomplished the reconditioning. The same super quality shampoo should be used in conjunction with remoisturizing creme treatments. A monthly conditioning regime should become part of your client's own programme to maintain sheen, flexibility, and hair health. One final thought:

A regular haircut will remove dead, split ends and the untidy effect of irregular growth. It will emphasize the beautiful, free-swinging movement of hair which will be as thick at the ends as it is at the roots.
