Afro Hair

Synopsis: Afro hair is more delicate and difficult to style than other types of hair. Special techniques are required and these, along with the underlying theory, are explained. It deals with both technical and practical aspects of hairdressing in a style that is easy to read and understand. It covers Afro hair and skin, consultation, shampooing and conditioning, all methods of straightening, curly perms, colouring and bleaching. In addition there is a chapter on make-up for the Afro client. Numerous step-by-step photographs illustrate the text and questions and answers appear throughout for self-testing. This textbook has been written specifically for hairdressers training under the National Preferred Scheme and is suitable for students of hairdressing (especially NVQ 2/3) and trainees as well as professional hairdressers.
