Motions show..do they know what they\'re doing?
The following are exerpts from a newspaper about a Motions hair show that took place recently.Some of their techniques sound highly suspect to me.
" For instance, in the first of a series of demonstrations using live models, Motions technical educator Vikki Bush explained you should start relaxing from the back of the head and move forward. Apply from mid-shaft to the ends then go nearer to the scalp, keeping the relaxer one- 16th of an inch away. Vikki demonstrated on "virgin" hair, while colleague Kym Smith (They're both from Houston, Texas) did a "re-touch". "
Another excerpt
"Rinse out the relaxer, condition the hair, then use a neutralising shampoo to bring the PH level down and close the hair cuticle, which had been opened by the relaxer.
Later in the event some in the audience questioned this sequence -condition/neutralise-but Smith explained that for the conditioner to really be effective it has to be applied when the cuticle was open. If you condition after you neutralise, Smith said, you're adding a bit more shine but you're not adding any moisture. It's even safe, Smith said, to add a semi-permanent colour before you neutralise. Highlights and permanent colour, however, should only be put in seven to 14 days after relaxing. "
Here's another.
"There was a little conflict with members of the audience over the use of the circular steel stove iron and the ceramic chi flat iron.
"Bush said she finds she has more control over temperature with the stove iron. The chi iron permeates heat on both the top and bottom of the lock of hair. If a client has thin hair it could burn. "
What do you guys think of this information given out by Motions professionals?Some of it sounds really weird to me.That would be awful if hairdressers who attended this seminar ended up messing up their client's hair.
