By law, there is equipment that should be used and supplied during certain work in the hairdressing industry. Just like a builder has to wear a hard hat, a hairdresser must protect themselves from injury or damage. Protective items include:

Gloves – You can either buy gloves that are reusable or disposable gloves. These protect hairdressers’ hands from chemicals such as colouring products, bleaches, perm lotions and chemical relaxers. Without protection there is a chance of contracting dermatitis which, if severe, can prevent you from continuing hairdressing as a career.

Aprons – It is wise to use these during colouring, perming and relaxing processes. They protect your clothes from spillages and can prevent damage. It is also advisable to cover your client with a cape of some sort, as they also need to have their clothes protected from any possible spillages or damage.
