When clients sit in your chair, they’re likely focused on creating the “perfect” style. While the right cut can certainly help them look and feel great, it’s not enough to address the main underlying problem that makes their hair hard to work with: their scalp health. Between low-quality haircare products, high-heat styling tools, and home coloring kits, it’s normal for your clients to have an unhealthy or damaged scalp. Here are a few things you can do to help your clients’ scalp recover from their haircare efforts.
Wash It Thoroughly
Having a clean scalp makes it easier for you to identify the full extent of the damage. Take your time and wash your client’s scalp thoroughly during each appointment. Pay close attention to the scalp and hairline rather than just focusing your attention on their hair. For best results, consider using a clarifying shampoo like the J Beverly Hills Blue Clarifier shampoo. This will get rid of any residue and expose both the scalp and hair so you can see how extensive the damage is, and what you’ll need to do to repair it.
Give Them a Good Scalp Massage
Scalp massages do more than help your clients relax. They also help restore natural oil production and can lightly exfoliate the skin and hair follicles. As part of the wash, give your clients a thorough massage. Then, rinse the shampoo away. Depending on your clients’ scalp and hair dryness, you may want to use a conditioner and massage it into the scalp to get rid of dry skin.
Use a Hair Mask
Once you have an idea of how extensive the damage is, you’ll want to use a hair mask to give your clients’ scalp and hair a boost. The Masque treatment by J Beverly Hills is designed to work quickly, restoring moisture and hydrating your clients’ skin and hair in a matter of minutes. Unlike other treatments, you’ll only need to leave the Masque treatment in for about five minutes. Once you rinse it out, your clients’ hair and scalp should be in better shape. You may want to encourage them to use the treatment at home at least once a week until their scalp is restored.
Encourage Them to Use Better Products at Home
Much of the damage that stylists see comes from using low-quality haircare products and high-heat styling tools at home. These products can do lasting damage and make it harder for you to create the looks your clients want. Try to encourage your clients to use better products as part of their health and beauty routines. Give them advice about the types of products that will work for their hair and point out that they can buy the same shampoos and conditioners you use in the salon at the end of their appointment.
