(latest NCVER data)Protein smoothing services are popular with clients who want less frizz and curl, but results depend on porosity, product choice, processing time and humidity. SHBHREF003 Straighten and relax hair with protein treatments focuses on delivering these treatments safely and predictably, and RTOs can add it to hairdressing programs where learners need SHBHREF003 learning materials on non-chemical straightening options.
Learners develop skills in reviewing straightening histories, analysing hair condition and porosity, identifying contraindications, advising on achievable results, selecting protein products, applying product from roots to ends, timing processing, drying and flat ironing and disposing of hazardous waste.
Equip trainers with our SHBHREF003 RTO training materials and avoid drafting protein treatment content internally. Purchase RTO materials and give your team SHBHREF003 training resources organised around each stage of the service.
These SHBHREF003 training resources provide a prepared foundation for straightening and relaxing hair with protein treatments. Purchase RTO materials and work from SHBHREF003 training materials that move from consultation to aftercare advice.
