๐Ÿงช Board Prep Tip: Always Do a Patch Test!
Why do you perform a patch test before a chemical relaxer service?
๐Ÿ… To test the strength of the relaxer
๐Ÿ…‘ To see how fast the hair will process
๐Ÿ…’ To check for allergies or reactions
๐Ÿ…“ To decide which gloves to use
๐Ÿ‘‰ The answer is C!
A patch test (also called a predisposition test) is done 24โ€“48 hours BEFORE the service. You apply a small amount of the product to the skin behind the ear or inside the elbow.
Why? Because some clients are allergic to the chemicals in relaxers โ€” and you won't know until it's too late if you skip this step. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
Bottom line: Patch test = client safety. The board will test this. Don't skip it IRL either! ๐Ÿ’›
