Washing and fixing are done in a professional hairdressing salon.
A wash and fix, sometimes known as a shampoo and fix, is a combination of hair care processes that are typically performed at a professional salon. The shampoo and set generally consist of a hair wash, a conditioning treatment, and temporary styling services, such as putting the hair in rollers and then placing the client under a blow dryer. Hair cutting, coloring, or other chemical services are generally not included in a wash and set. A similar service is called “blowout”, which does not use conventional hair rollers or dryers, but instead consists of carefully washing, conditioning and drying the salon client’s hair.
The wash and fix start with washing and conditioning the hair.
In the 20th century, many salons offered shampoo and set services to clients who relied on curling irons to style their hair. Since many women don’t feel comfortable styling their hair at home, they may go to a salon once or twice a week to have it professionally washed and styled. As hair styles changed in the late 20th and 21st centuries, having a set of curling irons and a fixed blow dryer has become a less common styling technique for many ethnic groups. However, salons that serve women of African descent often still offer a wash and fit option for their clients as part of their regular menu of services.
A wash and fit usually involves styling services, such as putting hair in rollers while it dries.
The actual services offered at a wash and play vary by salon. Usually, however, a salon client’s hair is carefully washed by a stylist or salon assistant. The hair washing process may also include a scalp massage. The stylist can also assess the condition of the client’s hair before washing and then choose an appropriate conditioning treatment to apply after washing. After cleaning and conditioning the hair, the stylist will style the hair, apply a styling product such as styling gel or cream, then use rollers or bobby pins to style the damp hair, and then allow the styling to dry, usually under a hair seated. drying machine.
After the client’s hair is dry, the barber will usually remove the curls or bobby pins and then style the hair into an attractive style. The stylist will also use hairspray to help the client maintain her hairstyle. Some clients may use the service on a regular basis, while others will only undergo a professional wash and style when attending a formal event. It’s usually a good idea for a salon client to clarify what types of styles are included in a wash and set, as some salons may charge more for hairstyles specially designed for special occasions.
