Investing in the highest-quality hair dyes and accessories can dramatically improve your client’s experience and the results they see at the end of the appointment. And while
J Beverly Hills Colour will create flawless looks your clients will love, working with it requires a bit of care. Remember, permanent color can soak into your skin and last for days but it can also cause skin irritation and reactions if you’re sensitive to the ingredients. That’s why it’s important to use disposable gloves when applying the dye.
Latex gloves used to be the most popular option, but nitrile gloves offer a few unique benefits that latex just can’t come close to matching. Here are a few reasons to use nitrile gloves in your salon.
They’re Safe
These days, lots of people have latex allergies, and using latex gloves can cause severe skin reactions that are itchy and painful. If your clients have a sensitivity and you’re working with latex gloves, you’re risking their well-being. Worse, repeated use of latex gloves can increase your risk of developing a sensitivity or an allergy. Nitrile, on the other hand, is completely safe to use. It won’t cause allergic reactions for your clients, and it won’t lead you to develop a sensitivity even with daily use.
They Won’t Impede Your Movements
Some latex gloves are difficult to feel what you’re doing which is the last thing any stylist wants when they’re trying to give their clients the best experience possible. The gloves are thicker which makes it difficult to maintain the same level of dexterity you’d have when working bare-handed. Nitrile gloves are thinner and won’t impact your ability to feel what you’re doing or perform fine-motor movements as you work.
They’re Durable
Latex gloves can break down when exposed to caustic chemicals like hair bleach or hair color. This makes it tough to protect your hands while you’re working. But nitrile gloves are much more durable and have better chemical resistance than other materials. That means you’ll be able to use the same pair of gloves for an entire dye session without worrying about the dye penetrating the glove.
They’re Waterproof
When you’re dying your client’s hair, your hands will be exposed to moisture and water. Prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to pruning and increase the amount of dead skin you have on your hands. Nitrile gloves are waterproof and can be cooler to wear than latex gloves. That means your hands will stay dry when you’re working with dye but it also means your hands will sweat less than they would in latex. The more comfortable you are, the easier it will be to focus on your work and your client.
