State the procedure for client preparation when plaiting hair

Consultations are not necessary for hair plaiting

To share personal hairstyling preferences with the client

To convince the client to choose a specific plaiting style

To understand the client's hair type, texture, and desired style, as well as any sensitivities or allergies they may have.

Use hair products to create a build-up on the hair before plaiting

Wash the client's hair and scalp with shampoo and conditioner, detangle the hair, and ensure the hair is completely dry before starting the plaiting process.

Skip washing the hair and start plaiting immediately

Plait the hair while it is still wet

Detangling the hair is not necessary for plaiting

Detangling the hair helps to prevent breakage and ensures a smoother plaiting experience.

Leaving tangles in the hair adds texture to the final result

Detangling the hair makes the plaiting process faster

Skip conditioning and begin plaiting immediately

Apply a leave-in conditioner or detangling product to help soften and moisturize the hair.

Apply a heavy styling gel to create definition in the plaits

Use a harsh clarifying shampoo to strip the hair of natural oils

Leave the hair to air dry naturally, even if it takes a long time

Use a blow dryer on low heat to dry the hair thoroughly.

Start the plaiting process while the hair is still damp

Apply a leave-in conditioner to wet hair before plaiting

A shampoo specifically designed for color-treated hair

A gentle, sulfate-free shampoo suitable for the client's hair type.

A clarifying shampoo to deeply cleanse the hair

Any shampoo with a strong fragrance

Hair products can be used to mask the need for washing

Plaiting can be done on dirty hair without affecting the outcome

Washing the hair removes dirt, oils, and product build-up, creating a clean canvas for the plaiting process.

Leaving the hair unwashed adds texture to the final result

Plaiting without sectioning results in a more natural look

Sectioning is not necessary when plaiting hair

Sectioning the hair allows for better control and organization, ensuring neater and more uniform plaits.

Sectioning the hair makes the plaiting process longer and more complicated

Apply a small amount of scalp oil or moisturizer to prevent dryness and irritation.

Use a strong-hold styling gel directly on the scalp

Avoid applying any products to the scalp to keep it dry

Apply a thick layer of hair spray to protect the scalp

Apply a heavy styling cream to smooth out the tangles

Avoid detangling the hair as it adds texture to the final look

Use a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush to gently remove knots and tangles from the hair, starting from the ends and working your way up.

Yank and pull at the tangles aggressively to quickly detangle the hair
