🧪 Board Prep Tip: Always Do a Patch Test!
Why do you perform a patch test before a chemical relaxer service?
🅐 To test the strength of the relaxer
🅑 To see how fast the hair will process
🅒 To check for allergies or reactions
🅓 To decide which gloves to use
👉 The answer is C!
A patch test (also called a predisposition test) is done 24–48 hours BEFORE the service. You apply a small amount of the product to the skin behind the ear or inside the elbow.
Why? Because some clients are allergic to the chemicals in relaxers — and you won't know until it's too late if you skip this step. 😬
Bottom line: Patch test = client safety. The board will test this. Don't skip it IRL either! 💛
