On the surface, we're taught that "HAIR is HAIR" and that hair is a protein that just comes out of your scalp. However, the moment you decide that you are not going to limit yourself to one ethnicity, you quickly learn that hair varies tremendously from one ethnicity to another and, even from person to person in the same families. Conducting a 5C Consultation is first step your stylist takes in providing the best hair care experience and products to meet your needs.
Hair Typing, Why We Do It?
I love hair!! All kinds! Coiled, straight, stringed…I love it! However, your hair may not LOVE every product! There are 5 basic characteristics I look at to determine which products work best on your hair and if your hair can handle or needs a specific service or treatment. They include:
Curl Pattern-How much curl each strand has, i.e. STRAIGHT, WAVY, CURL/COIL, ZIGZAG
Texture-Thickness of each hair strand, i.e. FINE, MEDIUM, COARSE
Porosity-Flatness of the cuticles on each strand, i.e., cuticles lay flat and repel water with low porosity vs. cuticles do not lay flat and takes a long time to dry with high porosity
Density-Number of hairs on your head
Health –State of each strand and scalp
So, without a GREAT consultation, you may not have a GREAT salon experience!!
