(latest NCVER data)SHBHDES005 Select and apply hair extensions prepares hairdressers to recommend, colour-match and apply full or partial extensions that blend naturally while protecting the client’s own hair from traction damage. For RTOs delivering advanced hairdressing programs, it fills a gap in extension services, supported by SHBHDES005 training materials that follow each stage from removal to final cut.
Learners develop skills in consulting on extension designs, explaining cost and maintenance, selecting extension type, colour and texture, removing existing extensions, sectioning natural hair, applying and sealing strands with safe tension, cutting to blend and advising on aftercare.
Give your team our SHBHDES005 RTO training materials instead of creating extension application resources internally. Purchase RTO materials and use the SHBHDES005 training resources to plan both theory and practical sessions.
Your SHBHDES005 training resources provide a prepared foundation for selecting and applying hair extensions. Purchase RTO materials to reduce development effort, with SHBHDES005 learning materials covering consultation, application and maintenance advice.
