Key ideas in Lesson 1
Hair and scalp structure
A hair has three layers:
- Cuticle: the outer, protective layer made of see-through scales.
- Cortex: the bulk of the hair, where the chemical changes of perming and neutralizing happen.
- Medulla: an air space in the middle of the hair, which is not always present.
The scalp has an outer layer (epidermis), which constantly sheds dead skin cells, and an inner layer (dermis), the thickest part, where hair follicles, nerve endings, sebaceous glands, blood supply, and sweat glands are found.
Hair types and texture
The module lists five hair types: normal, oily or greasy, dry, combination (greasy at the roots, dry at the ends), and fine. Texture depends on the hair’s diameter (coarse, medium, or fine) and feel (wiry, soft, or silky). A chart shows eight texture types, from Type I (straight to minimal wave) to Type VIII (zig-zag coiled).
Common scalp and hair disorders
| Disorder | How to recognize it | Cause (as stated in the module) |
|---|---|---|
| Dandruff | Oily flakes of dead skin on the scalp, itching | Poor diet, stress, hormonal imbalance, overuse of hair products, and others |
| Head lice | Intense itching, nits near the scalp | Parasitic infection |
| Flaky or itchy scalp | Tiny flakes, dull scalp | Lack of sebum, vitamin deficiency, stress, pollution |
| Ringworm | Red, scaly rings; bald patches | Fungal infection |
| Alopecia areata | Small, round bald patch | Not fully understood; genetics, stress, and shock may contribute |
| Split ends | Dull, dry, brittle ends | Sun, heat styling, over-perming or coloring |
| Bamboo hair | Knotty strands that break easily | Weakness in the cortex |
The module also describes oily hair and dry hair as conditions. Clients with infectious skin diseases or head lice should be advised to see a physician or dermatologist.
Safety and sanitation in the salon
Following Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) rules, the module covers employee duties, good housekeeping, safety precautions (no smoking, storing tools after use, first aid on hand, fire and earthquake drills), what to do in case of fire, waste collection, disinfecting tools after every service, the contents of a first aid kit, and clean-up steps such as removing hair from combs and sanitizing the shampoo bowl after each client.
Shampoos, conditioners, and massage
Before shampooing, assess hair condition, type, texture, scalp condition, previous chemical treatments, and product allergies.
- Shampoos: acid balance (everyday), conditioning or moisturizing, medicated, clarifying, balancing, dry or powder, and color-enhancing.
- Conditioners: rinse-through, treatment or repair (left on for 10 to 20 minutes), and leave-on.
- Massage techniques: effleurage (slow strokes with the palms), rotary (circular movements with the finger pads), and friction (lighter, quicker finger movements). Never use your nails. Adjust for hair length, density, condition, and an oily scalp, which should not be massaged vigorously.
Key ideas in Lesson 2
When positioning a client, do not tie the gown too tightly, secure the towel with a clip, use a disposable plastic cape when shampooing, and reposition the client if needed. The module gives these preparation steps:
- Seat the client at your workstation.
- Ask which hair services the client wants.
- Clean and dry your hands.
- Drape with a shampoo cape, turn the collar inside, and place a towel lengthwise across the shoulders, crossing the ends under the chin.
- Drape the cape over the towel and fasten it at the back, then add another towel secured in front.
- Remove pins and other hair accessories.
- Ask the client to remove jewelry, earrings, and glasses and keep them safe.
- Decide on the shampoo and conditioner, then brush the hair until smooth and untangled.
How to use this module
- Learners: Answer each lesson’s pretest first, then work through the discussion, activities, and the Self-Check. Write all answers on a separate sheet of paper and check them against the answer key honestly. Hands-on tasks include analyzing a model’s hair type, observing five people’s hair and scalp, a scalp massage demonstration, and a client preparation demonstration rated by a scorecard (workmanship 30%, speed 30%, correctness of procedure 40%).
- Parents: Some activities ask learners to practice on family members or record videos at home or in a salon, so your help and permission may be needed.
- Teachers: Rubrics are included for the video and safety plan outputs, and alternative activities are offered for learners without salon or internet access.

Lesson 1: Hairdressing: Treatment of Hair and Scalp
Finding out what clients want to do with their hair and choosing or recommending a style or haircut is very essential, but sometimes the client’s hair and scalp condition limit the range of services a hairdresser can offer them.
To undertake hair and scalp analysis, hairdressers must inspect every section of the scalp for them to find out what services suit the client’s hair. The condition of the scalp will determine whether it is advisable to perform certain services or use particular products. To establish the condition of the hair, skin, and scalp, there are visual checks and tests that must be performed, the results of which must always be recorded. If there are no any contraindications found, under no circumstances you must perform the service on the client.

What is It
LO 1.1 Appreciate the benefits of scalp and hair treatment
Study the basic hair structures and its specific function. Your knowledge on these will aid you to deeply understand how things work as a system. It will also guide you to easily trace how hair and scalp disorders developed.
In order to diagnose hair and scalp problems, the hairdresser should understand the structure and growth of hair.
[chart: diagram; Figure 1. Basic Hair Structure]
Title: Basic Hair Structure
Text block:
- This diagram shows the three layers of a hair follicle, the cuticle, cortex and medulla.
- The cuticle is made up of scales and is translucent (the hair colour shows through it). It has a protective function.
- The cortex forms the bulk of the hair and it is in this part of the hair that the chemical changes of perming and neutralising take place.
- The medulla is an air space in the middle of the hair and may not always be present.
Labels in the cross-section (Basic hair structure, Hair shaft, Longitudinal section of a hair): Medulla, Cortex, Cuticle.
Labels in the follicle drawing: Medulla, Cortex, Cuticle, Hair shaft, Sebaceous gland, Inner root sheath, Arrector pili muscle, Outer root sheath, Hair bulb, Hair matrix, Hair papilla.

What are your opinions regarding the following question:
- What do you think is the best thing a person should do to take care of his/her hair and scalp?
- What would be the benefit if a person is having hair and scalp treatment at the salon? At home?
- What are the scalp layers?
- What are the types of hairs?
LO 1.2 Analyze scalp and hair structure
[chart: diagram; “The layers of the scalp and skull”] Labels, from top to bottom: Blood vessel; Hair; Skin; Connective tissue; Aponeurosis; Loose areolar tissue; Periosteum; Diploë of skull; Dura.

Figure 2. Layers of the scalp (skin).
LAYERS OF THE SCALP (SKIN)
- The outer layer (epidermis/ skin) – this is the outer protective layer of the skin. It is constantly shedding itself, losing dead skin cells.
- The inner layer(dermis)- this is the thickest and most important part of the skin. It is where hair follicles, nerve endings, sebaceous gland, blood supply and sweat glands are found.
TYPES OF HAIR
It is important for a hairstylist to analyze first the type of hair that a client possesses before carrying out any service. Treatments such as coloring, perming, and heat styling will have an effect on the hair type. This will be the bases for the appropriate treatment to be done to make client’s hair healthy.
The following are types of hair:
- Normal hair- is shiny, not greasy nor dry, has not been permed or colored, easy to manage and looks good most of the time. It is ideally suited to the daily use of two-in-one conditioning shampoos. Normal hair responds well to regular brushing, smoothing, and polishing.
- Oily hair to greasy hair- looks dull and greasy and needs frequent washing.
- Dry hair- tangles easily and difficult to comb or brush particularly when wet. It looks dull and has no appeal. It is thick at the roots but thinner and splits at the ends.
- Combination hair- is extremely greasy at the roots but dry and sometimes split at the ends.
- Fine hair- looks flat because of its small size and volume, prone to damage because of its lack of elasticity, appears limp, and tends to be sensitive. This is difficult to style because it does not hold the hairstyle in place. This type of hair is hereditary.
HAIR TEXTURE
Differences in hair texture have to do with diameter or the hair (coarse, medium, or fine) and the feel of the hair (wiry, soft, or silky). Touching the client’s hair and asking about specific hair characteristics will help in determining the best way to treat the hair.
[photo: eight close-up samples of hair in two rows of four, each labeled with a type number and name as follows: Type I, Straight to Minimal Wave; Type II, Open Wave; Type III, Wavy; Type IV, Curly; Type V, Very Curly; Type VI, Coiled; Type VII, Very Coiled; Type VIII, Zig-Zag Coiled]
Figure 3. Different types of hair according to texture.
LO 1.3 Distinguish diseases and disorders of scalp and hair
Learning Activity 1.3a: Get someone and analyze his/her hair type and texture using Figure 3 as reference in analyzing different types of hair according to texture. Conduct the activity and answer the following guide questions:
- What type of hair you did you analyze from your model?
- Is it straight, wavy, or curly hair?
- Are there any conditions (scalp and hair) you found after examining the hair and scalp?
- What do you think are the different diseases of scalp and hair?
Table 1. Common Diseases and Disorder of Scalp and Hair
| Name | Description Recognized by | Caused by |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Dandruff | Oily flakes of dead skin that lie on the scalp. Its symptoms are: scales from the scalp fall like snowflakes on the shoulders, clothes, and sometimes on the eyebrows, and itching of the scalp. | Poor diet, impairment of general health, stress, hormonal imbalance, overuse of hair products, frequent exposure to extreme temperatures, and infection |
| 2. Head lice (pediculus humanus capitis) | Intense itching and the presence of nits (small eggs that are attached to the hair shaft close to the scalp). On close examination, there may be lice present. | A parasitic infection |
| 3. Flaky or itchy scalp | Scalp produces tiny flakes that most likely fall onto the shoulders. Scalp has dull appearance. | Lack of sebum, vitamin deficiency, stress, hereditary traits, and pollution |
| 4. Ringworm | First appears as small, round, red spots. As the spots enlarge, the center begins to clear forming a ring with a raised border that is red and scaly. Hair may become brittle and fall out leaving bald patches. | A fungal scalp or skin infection |
[transcriber’s note: table continued from the previous page]
| Name | Description Recognized by | Caused by |
|---|---|---|
| 5. Alopecia areata | A small round bald patch on the scalp, with surrounding hairs being short and appearing “frayed.” The skin in the patch is usually pale and glossy. The patch may appear overnight with hair fall being evident on the pillow the following morning. | The cause is not fully understood, as there seem to be a number of possible reasons for it. In some cases, it is thought to be genetic however, stress and shock are also thought to be contributory factors. |
| 6. Split Ends | Damaged cuticles and separated strands of the cortex. Hair ends look dull, dry, and brittle. It is susceptible to tangling and easily split anywhere along the shaft. | Exposure to sunlight, excessive heat styling, over perming or coloring, wrong type of comb or brush, excessive washing. |
| 7. Oily hair | Looks good for a day but not on the following days. Without washing, it becomes lifeless. Oily hair is usually susceptible to dandruff. | Eating too much fatty foods; hormonal imbalance; washing too often; or it may be because the scalp has bigger oil gland than usual |
| 8. Dry hair | This type of hair tangles easily and difficult to comb or brush particularly when wet. It looks dull and has no appeal. | ften due to excessive perming or coloring of the hair; too much exposure from the sun; or sometimes the scalp has small oil glands than usual. [transcriber’s note: the first letter of this cell is printed as “ften”; it is likely “Often” with the initial letter missing] |
| 9. Bamboo hair | Hair breaks easily; knotty appearance of the hair strands; eyelash or eyebrow loss; sparse hair growth or hair loss pattern; dry hair; lustreless hair; spiky hair; short hair due to consistent breakage; hair in eyebrows may resemble matchsticks | Weakness on the part of the center of the hair and strand called cortex |

LO 1.5 Explain the different types of shampoo and conditioner
Shampooing and Conditioning the Hair
Shampooing and conditioning are an essential part of most hairdressing treatments. In order to make hair more manageable for blow-drying, setting, cutting, perming, relaxing, and some coloring processes, the hair must be thoroughly cleansed of all dirt, natural grease, and products such as hairspray, mousse, and wax. These products will cause a barrier between the hair and the chemical, and the styling will be unsuccessful. It is important to be able to analyze your client’s hair and scalp type correctly in order to choose the appropriate products to suit the client’s needs.
You should make a thorough consultation to assess your client’s needs, choose appropriate products and organize equipment, and think and plan the treatment thoroughly. During the consultation for a shampoo and/or conditioning treatment, you should assess:
- Hair condition
- Hair type

Types of Shampoos
There are thousands of shampoos that exist for different types of hair. It is important for a hair cosmetologist to understand the right shampoo to use for every type of hair. Some of the different types of shampoos are:
Acid Balance Shampoos or Everyday Shampoos– these are designed to prevent excessive dryness particularly color-treated or lighted hair.
Conditioning or Moisturizing Shampoos– these are designed to make chemically treated hair smooth and shiny and to improve the manageability of the hair. This shampoo is rich in protein and biotin that restore moisture and elasticity, strengthens the hair shaft, and add volume.
Medicated Shampoos– these contain special chemicals to reduce excessive dandruff and relieve scalp conditions.
Clarifying Shampoos– these contain acidic ingredients to cut the product build up through the hair. These can also make the hair shiny.
Balancing Shampoos– these wash away excess oiliness of the hair and scalp.
Dry or Powder Shampoos– these cleanse the hair without the use of soap and water. The powder picks up dirt and oil as you brush or comb it through the hair. It is designated to use for clients who are not comfortable wetting their hair.
Color-enhancing Shampoos– these tones down brassiness, create warmth, and camouflage roots without altering professional salon color.
Types of Conditioners
- Rinse-through– finishing rinses or cream that are rinsed out after they are worked through the hair for detangling.
- Treatment or repair– deep, penetrating conditioners that are left on the hair for 10 to 20 minutes, restoring protein and moisture in the hair.
- Leave-on– are conditioners that contain moisturizing and protective ingredients and sprayed on wet hair.
Massage Techniques for Shampooing
The following massage techniques should be carried out using the pads of the fingers or the palms of the hands. Never use your nails as these could scratch the client’s scalp and cause an infection.
- Effleurage: using the palms of the hands.
- Slow, smoothing, stroking movement
- Spreads shampoo
- Relaxes the client
- Rotary: using the pads of the fingers
- Round, circular movements
- Stimulates scalp
- Removes dirt and grease
- Friction: using the pads of the fingers
- Lighter, quicker movements than rotary
- Gently stimulates scalp
Massage can be very beneficial to the client if it is carried out using the correct pressure. Always check with your client if the pressure you are using is comfortable, as some people’s scalps are more sensitive than others.
There are certain circumstances when you may need to adapt your massage technique to suit your client’s needs. This may be because of:
Hair length– long hair will only need rotary massage throughout the scalp. The lengths of the hair should only be massaged using effleurage as this will be effective at cleansing the hair but will not cause excessive knotting of the cuticle scales. Avoid tangling your fingers in long hair and avoid tugging the hair unnecessarily.
Hair density– hair density is a measurement of how much hair your client has per square centimetre of the scalp. If there is a lot hair per square centimetre, it may mean that you will need to use a firmer rotary massage technique in order for your client to feel any firmness of pressure.
Hair condition– hair that is very fragile, for example, highly bleached hair, should be massaged with caution, as it is liable to break easily.
Scalp condition– scalps that are excessively oily should not be massaged vigorously using rotary shampoo massage movements. This will stimulate the sebaceous glands that produce our natural oil or sebum, to produce even more oil- not a good result for someone with an oil or grease problem.
