Step 9
Ensure that the airflow from the dryer is flowing with the direction of
the cuticle and that the heat from the dryer is not aimed directly at
the scalp.
Step 10
Advise the client on the products for home use and how to maintain
the look for longevity. Also advise that continual use of heated
equipment can have adverse affects on the hair if heat protection
products are not used.
