ANALYZE YOUR HAIR
Hair analysis is an important element of a consultation, helping us to determine the condition of your hair and scalp.
I will always explain any procedure before starting a treatment; if there is any doubt about the end result, you will be informed. It is our policy that a diagnostic record card be used to record all aspects of a consultation. You may be asked to sign a document, stating that you are in agreement with the suggested course of action and are aware of any reservations I may have.
The senses of sight, smell and touch provide me and all skilled stylists with very important information. However, further direct testing is required to confirm the condition of the cortex, the porosity of hair, any allergic sensitivity to a product, and the presence of chemicals from previous treatments.
Ideally, damaged, very porous hair needs to be cut out before coloring or perming. Sometimes porosity will vary; this is particularly common in long hair, with oily roots and dry ends.
