Every keratin re-do costs your salon product, an unpaid hour in the chair and a little client trust. Most re-dos trace back to a few technique gaps. Here is how to train junior stylists to get it right the first time.
1. Consultation first
Teach assistants to check hair history: bleach, box dye and previous treatments change processing. A strand test on compromised hair prevents most surprises.
2. Clarify properly
Residue blocks absorption. Two thorough washes with the clarifying step are non-negotiable.
3. Thin sections, even application
Too much product leaves hair heavy and greasy; too little leaves frizz. Practice with thin sections and combing product through from root to tip, leaving a small gap at the scalp.
4. Dry 100% before ironing
Ironing damp hair causes steam, damage and patchy results. Make "fully dry" a checklist item.
5. Iron temperature and passes
Set the iron by hair type and limit passes. Overworking is a top reason for breakage complaints.
6. Shadow, then supervise
Use a three-stage plan: the junior watches, assists, then performs while a senior checks each step. Start with practice heads or model clients.
Consistent system, consistent results
Using one reliable system makes training easier. The Cadiveu Brasil Cacau 3-Step Kit and the Brasil Cacau 300 ml Set give your team a clear, repeatable protocol and fewer costly re-dos.
