e) Explain the manufacturers’ instructions of product before and during performance;
f) Describe in detail the basic chemistry of permanent waving which involves a process of reduction and subsequent oxidation;
g) Identify teaching approaches suitable for lessons related to the permanent waving of hair.
a) Evaluate the importance of verbal/non-verbal communication;
b) Determine the appropriate shampoo before commencing the service;
c) Demonstrate how to take clear, neat sections and sub- sections;
d) Master how to wind each mesh evenly, without distortion or undue tension and ensure that the ends are smoothly wrapped around the curler;
