CONTACT DERMATITIS
DERMATITIS IS A SKIN INFLAMMATION CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO ALLERGENS OR IRRITANTS THAT CAUSE THE SKIN TO BECOME RED, BLISTERED, DRY, SCALY AND CRACKED. ALTHOUGH DERMATITIS CAN AFFECT THE WHOLE BODY IT IS MOST COMMON IN THE HANDS AND FACE. THE CONDITION CAN VARY IN SEVERITY, HOWEVER IN SERIOUS CASES THE SUFFERER MAY HAVE TO LEAVE THE BARBERING TRADE.
CAUSES
REPEATED OVER EXPOSURE TO WATER, NOT DRYING HANDS PROPERLY AFTER SHAMPOOING AND COLOURING, SWEATING INSIDE GLOVES, CONTACT WITH IRRITANTS INCLUDING SHAMPOOS, TINTS AND BLEACHES
PREVENTIONS & TREATMENTS
DRYING HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER CONTACT WITH WATER, WEARING GLOVES WHEN HANDLING CHEMICALS, WASHING AND DRYING HANDS AFTER EACH CLIENT TO REMOVE ANY PRODUCT, MOISTURISE YOUR HANDS WITH SUITABLE MOISTURISE. AVOIDING IRRITANTS AND CHEMICALS.

HEAD LICE OR PEDICULUS HUMANUS CAPITIS
HEAD LICE ARE VERY COMMON. THEY ARE SMALL (ADULT LICE ARE THE SIZE OF A SESAME SEED) GREY-BROWN INSECTS. THEY CANNOT FLY OR JUMP; NEITHER CAN THEY BURROW INTO THE SCALP. THEY CAN AFFECT ANYONE, WITH LONG OR SHORT HAIR, NO MATTER HOW CLEAN THE HAIR IS.
CAUSES
HEAD LICE ARE SPREAD BY DIRECT HEAD TO HEAD CONTACT. THEY CLIMB FROM ONE PERSON'S HAIR TO ANOTHER'S.
PREVENTIONS & TREATMENTS
LOTIONS OR SPRAYS THAT KILL HEAD LICE – THESE CAN BE VERY EFFECTIVE, BUT SOME AREN'T SUITABLE FOR PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING WOMEN, OR FOR CHILDREN UNDER TWO.
REMOVING HEAD LICE WITH A SPECIALLY DESIGNED COMB – THIS IS SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE BUT NEEDS TO BE REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES AND CAN TAKE A LONG TIME TO DO THOROUGHLY

IN-GROWN HAIRS
AN INGROWN FACIAL HAIR OCCURS WHEN A HAIR THAT’S BEEN SHAVED, WAXED, OR TWEEZED CURLS AND GROWS SIDEWAYS INTO YOUR SKIN INSTEAD OF TOWARD THE SURFACE. A SURE SIGN OF AN INGROWN HAIR IS A RED OR RAISED BUMP. INGROWN HAIRS CAN APPEAR AS SMALL, SCALY WHITE BUMPS, UNSIGHTLY, AND ITCHY.
CAUSED BY CONTINUALLY CLOSE CUTTING TO THE SKIN.
PREVENTIONS & TREATMENTS
A GREAT WAY TO HELP FIGHT THE POSSIBILITY OF INGROWN HAIRS DEVELOPING IS TO WASH YOUR FACE DAILY WITH A MILD CLEANSER. USING A MILD CLEANSER HELPS TO REMOVE OR PREVENT DIRT AND OIL BUILDUP THAT CAN CLOG YOUR PORES. WHEN YOUR PORES ARE CLOGGED, YOU ARE AT AN INCREASED RISK OF DEVELOPING INGROWN HAIRS. THE CLEANSER THAT YOU USE WILL WORK TO EXFOLIATE YOUR SKIN AND REMOVE DEAD SKIN CELLS.
PERMETHRIN 5% CREAM IS USUALLY RECOMMENDED AS THE FIRST TREATMENT. MALATHION 0.5% LOTION IS USED IF PERMETHRIN IS INEFFECTIVE.

SEBACEOUS CYST
A LUMP ON TOP OR JUST UNDERNEATH THE SCALP CAUSED BY INFECTION
TREATMENTS
YOUR DOCTOR CAN TREATTRUSTED SOURCE A CYST BY DRAINING IT OR BY SURGICALLY REMOVING IT. USUALLY, CYSTS ARE REMOVED. THIS DOESN’T MEAN THEY’RE DANGEROUS — IT MAY BE FOR COSMETIC REASONS.
TRICHORRHEXIS NODOSA
TRICHORRHEXIS NODOSA IS A COMMON HAIR PROBLEM IN WHICH THICKENED OR WEAK POINTS (NODES) ALONG THE HAIR SHAFT CAUSE YOUR HAIR TO BREAK OFF EASILY. CAUSED BY CHEMICAL USAGE OR EXCESSIVE HEAT
TREATMENTS
THE TREATMENT OF TRICHORRHEXIS NODOSA DEPENDS UPON ITS TYPE. IN ACQUIRED CASES, REDUCING OR ALTOGETHER AVOIDING THE PHYSICAL TRAUMA HELPS AND BRINGS IMPROVEMENT. IF THERE ARE ANY UNDERLYING DISEASES ACCOMPANYING TRICHORRHEXIS NODOSA, THEY ARE GIVEN THE DUE COURSE OF TREATMENT. IN ORDER TO PREVENT BREAKAGE, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO KEEP THE HAIR HYDRATED AND WELL CONDITIONED. THE AFFECTED INDIVIDUAL IS ADVISED TO FOLLOW GENTLE HAIR CARE AND AVOID HARSH HANDLING.

ALOPECIA
AREATA
ALOPECIA IS A GENERAL TERM FOR HAIR LOSS. ALOPECIA AREATA IS A COMMON CAUSE OF NON-SCARRING (DOES NOT CAUSE SCARRING TO THE SCALP) HAIR LOSS THAT CAN OCCUR AT ANY AGE. IT USUALLY CAUSES SMALL, COIN-SIZED, ROUND PATCHES OF BALDNESS ON THE SCALP, ALTHOUGH HAIR ELSEWHERE SUCH AS THE BEARD, EYEBROWS, EYELASHES, BODY AND LIMBS CAN BE AFFECTED.
CAUSES
HAIR IS LOST BECAUSE IT IS AFFECTED BY INFLAMMATION. THE CAUSE OF THIS INFLAMMATION IS UNKNOWN BUT IT IS THOUGHT THAT THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, THE NATURAL DEFENCE WHICH NORMALLY PROTECTS THE BODY FROM INFECTIONS AND OTHER DISEASES, MAY ATTACK THE GROWING HAIR. ALOPECIA IS NOT CATCHING AND NO CONNECTION HAS BEEN MADE WITH FOOD OR VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES. STRESS OCCASIONALLY APPEARS TO BE A TRIGGER FOR ALOPECIA AREATA, BUT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THIS LINK MAY BE COINCIDENTAL AS MANY OF THOSE AFFECTED HAVE NO SIGNIFICANT STRESS.
PREVENTIONS & TREATMENTS
PEOPLE WITH MILD EARLY ALOPECIA AREATA MAY NEED NO TREATMENT, AS THEIR HAIR IS LIKELY TO COME BACK NYWAY WITHOUT IT. SOME TREATMENTS CAN INDUCE HAIR GROWTH, THOUGH NONE IS ABLE TO ALTER THE OVERALL COURSE OF THE DISEASE. ANY TREATMENTS THAT CARRY SERIOUS RISKS SHOULD BE AVOIDED, AS ALOPECIA AREATA ITSELF HAS NO ADVERSE EFFECT ON PHYSICAL HEALTH.

SCABIES
SCABIES IS A SKIN INFESTATION CAUSED BY A MITE KNOWN AS THE SARCOPTES SCABIEI. UNTREATED, THESE MICROSCOPIC MITES CAN LIVE ON YOUR SKIN FOR MONTHS. THEY REPRODUCE ON THE SURFACE OF YOUR SKIN AND THEN BURROW INTO IT TO LAY EGGS. THIS CAUSES AN ITCHY, RED RASH TO FORM ON YOUR SKIN.
CAUSES
SCABIES USUALLY IS SPREAD BY DIRECT, PROLONGED, SKIN-TO-SKIN CONTACT WITH A PERSON WHO HAS SCABIES. CONTACT GENERALLY MUST BE PROLONGED; A QUICK HANDSHAKE OR HUG USUALLY WILL NOT SPREAD SCABIES. SCABIES IS SPREAD EASILY TO SEXUAL PARTNERS AND HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS. SCABIES IN ADULTS FREQUENTLY IS SEXUALLY ACQUIRED.
PREVENTIONS & TREATMENTS
SEE YOUR GP IMMEDIATELY IF YOU HAVE SCABIES AND YOU HAVEN'T HAD A PREVIOUS INFECTION. DELAYING TREATMENT PLACES OTHER PEOPLE AT RISK.
THERE ARE CREAMS AVAILABLE TO TREAT SCABIES.

FOLLICULITUS
FOLLICULITIS IS A COMMON SKIN CONDITION IN WHICH HAIR FOLLICLES BECOME INFLAMED. IT'S USUALLY CAUSED BY A BACTERIAL OR FUNGAL INFECTION. AT FIRST IT MAY LOOK LIKE SMALL RED BUMPS OR WHITEHEADED PIMPLES AROUND HAIR FOLLICLES — THE TINY POCKETS FROM WHICH EACH HAIR GROWS.
CAUSES
FOLLICULITIS IS MOST OFTEN CAUSED BY AN INFECTION OF HAIR FOLLICLES WITH STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (STAPH) BACTERIA. FOLLICULITIS MAY ALSO BE CAUSED BY VIRUSES, FUNGI AND EVEN AN INFLAMMATION FROM INGROWN HAIRS.YOUR SCALP MAY ALSO FEEL DRY AND ITCHY.
TREATMENTS
IF YOU HAVE A MILD CASE, IT'LL LIKELY CLEAR IN A FEW DAYS WITH BASIC SELF-CARE MEASURES. FOR MORE SERIOUS OR RECURRING FOLLICULITIS, YOU MAY NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR FOR PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE.

RINGWORM
RINGWORM IS A FUNGAL SKIN INFECTION. (IT IS NOT DUE TO A WORM AS ITS NAME IMPLIES!) THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF FUNGAL GERMS (FUNGI) AND SOME CAN INFECT THE SKIN, NAILS, AND HAIR. FUNGAL INFECTIONS ARE ALSO KNOWN AS 'TINEA' OR 'DERMATOPHYTE INFECTIONS' OR 'DERMATOPHYTOSIS'.
CAUSES
GENERALLY SPEAKING FUNGAL SKIN INFECTIONS ARE NOT THAT CONTAGIOUS. YOU CAN TOUCH SOMEONE'S SKIN IF THEY'VE GOT A FUNGAL INFECTION AND, AS LONG AS YOU WASH YOUR HANDS AFTERWARDS, IT'S UNLIKELY YOU'LL CATCH IT. ALTHOUGH IT IS POSSIBLE TO CTCH IT FROM TOUCHING A PERSON WHO HAS IT.
TREATMENTS
IT WILL LIKELY CLEAR WITH ANITIFUNGAL CREASM SUCH AS CLOTRIMAZOLE OR ANTIFUNGAL TABLETS.

BARBERSHOP WASTE DISPOSAL
THIS CAN BE ANYTHING THAT DOESN’T FALL INTO ANY OF THE OTHER CATEGORIES SUCH LEFTOVER LUNCHES, NON-RECYCLABLE PACKAGING, TILL RECEIPTS AND HAIR CLIPPINGS TOO. THIS TYPE OF SALON WASTE CAN BE COLLECTED IN BLACK BIN BAGS AND PUT IN BLACK BINS FOR A REPUTABLE WASTE DISPOSAL COMPANY TO COLLECT. GENERAL WASTE
RECYCLING
MUCH OF WHAT IS PRODUCED AT A SALON OR BARBERSHOP IS RECYCLABLE, FROM RINSED OUT SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER BOTTLES TO THE MAGAZINES THAT YOUR CLIENTS HAVE GOT BORED OF FLICKING THROUGH. EMPTY AEROSOL CANS CAN BE PLACED WITH METAL RECYCLING AND IF YOU OFFER DISPOSABLE BEVERAGE OPTIONS THEN MANY PLASTIC CUPS ARE RECYCLABLE TOO. BUSINESSES ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO SEPARATE THEIR RECYCLABLE WASTE FROM THEIR GENERAL WASTE.
HAZARDOUS WASTE
UNDER THE HAZARDOUS WASTE (REGULATIONS ENGLAND AND WALES) 2005, THERE ARE RULES GOVERNING HOW HAZARDOUS WASTE IS DEFINED AND HOW IT MUST BE STORED AND DISPOSED OF WITH STRICT PENALTIES FOR BREACHES. WASTE IS CONSIDERED ‘HAZARDOUS’ WHEN IT COULD HARM HUMAN HEALTH OR THE ENVIRONMENT AND CAN ONLY BE DISPOSED AT AUTHORISED SITES. ALL ‘SHARPS’ FROM YOUR BUSINESS, SUCH AS RAZOR BLADES, NEED TO BE DISPOSED OF IN SECURE, PUNCTURE-PROOF YELLOW HAZARDOUS WASTE BINS.
LIQUID HAIR DYE AND OTHER CHEMICALS ARE ALSO CLASSIFIED AS HAZARDOUS WASTE DUE TO THE DAMAGE THEY CAN CAUSE TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND WE OFFER VARIOUS SOLUTIONS TO DISPOSING OF THIS TYPE OF CHEMICAL WASTE. CLINICAL WASTE ALSO NEEDS TO BE SEPARATED FROM NORMAL WASTE AND INCLUDES THINGS LIKE PADS, COTTON BUDS AND WAX STRIPS WHICH ARE DISPOSED OF SEPARATELY IN SPECIFIC COLOURED BAGS.

HAIR GROWTH CYCLE
1 - ANAGEN -> 2 - CATAGEN -> 3 - TELOGEN
ANAGEN - ANAGEN IS THE ACTIVE PHASE OF THE HAIR. THE CELLS IN THE ROOT OF THE HAIR ARE DIVIDING RAPIDLY. A NEW HAIR IS FORMED AND PUSHES THE CLUB HAIR (A HAIR THAT HAS STOPPED GROWING OR IS NO LONGER IN THE ANAGEN PHASE) UP THE FOLLICLE AND EVENTUALLY OUT.
CATAGEN - THE CATAGEN PHASE IS A TRANSITIONAL STAGE AND ABOUT 3% OF ALL HAIRS ARE IN THIS PHASE AT ANY TIME. THIS PHASE LASTS FOR ABOUT TWO TO THREE WEEKS. GROWTH STOPS AND THE OUTER ROOT SHEATH SHRINKS AND ATTACHES TO THE ROOT OF THE HAIR. THIS IS THE FORMATION OF WHAT IS KNOWN AS A CLUB HAIR.
TELOGEN - TELOGEN IS THE RESTING PHASE AND USUALLY ACCOUNTS FOR 6% TO 8% OF ALL HAIRS. THIS PHASE LASTS FOR ABOUT 100 DAYS FOR HAIRS ON THE SCALP AND LONGER FOR HAIRS ON THE EYEBROW, EYELASH, ARM, AND LEG. DURING THIS PHASE, THE HAIR FOLLICLE IS COMPLETELY AT REST AND THE CLUB HAIR IS COMPLETELY FORMED.

HAIR TEXTURE
HAIR TEXTURE IS A TERM USED TO DESCRIBE THE THICKNESS OR WIDTH OF
EACH INDIVIDUAL HAIR STRAND. IT’S IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT
HAIR TEXTURE DOES NOT DETERMINE YOUR DENSITY, OR HOW MUCH HAIR YOU ACTUALLY HAVE.
HAIR DENSITY
THE TERM HAIR DENSITY IS USED TO DESCRIBE HOW MUCH HAIR PER SQUARE INCH IS PRESENT ON YOUR SCALP.

EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY ON HAIR
HUMIDITY - HUMIDITY IS THE CONCENTRATION OF WATER VAPOUR PRESENT IN THE AIR. WATER VAPOR, THE GASEOUS STATE OF WATER, IS GENERALLY INVISIBLE TO THE HUMAN EYE.
IT BREAKS THE HYDROGEN BONDS, CAUSES THE HAIR TO SWELL A LITTLE BIT, AND THAT MEANS THE HAIR BECOMES WAVY OR FRIZZY WHEN IT DRIES IN ITS NEW SHAPE.
COLD TEMPERATURES - COLD TEMPERATURES IN WATER OR AIR WILL CAUSE THE PORES ON YOUR SCALP TO CLOSE. THIS COULD KEEP DIRT BACTERIA INSIDE YOUR CUTICLE BUT A CAVEAT IS THAT IT COULD RETAIN MOISTURE AND NUTRIENTS.
WARM TEMPERATURES - WARM TEMPERATURES IN WATER OR AIR WILL CAUSE THE PORES ON YOUR SCALP TO OPEN & THE HYDROGEN BONDS TO BREAK. THIS MAKES THE HAIR MORE MALABLE AND EASIER TO CUT. IT ALLOWS YOU TO GET DEEPER INTO THE PORES TO CLEAR OUT AND GRIME OR BUILD UP.
