hi can someone please help???

i am doing the h&s pack for my vtct nail services and i have a question to answer which is nothing to do with nails.

i have researched this for the last 3 hours all over internet and now my head is gonna explode.

i am not into asking for help, believe firmly i should do it myself, but as its not about nails i thought i better had.
question is.........

state in a systematic method how you would carry out a tint test????

any one help me pleeeeeaaaaassssseeee????????

all you need to do pet is clean the area, apply the tint (behind the ear) this is what i was taught. wait for 24 hours and bingo, if no redness etc, client it ok, if redness, itchy etc, dont carry out service

I agree with Glynnis - I was taught to do a patch test behind the ear 24 hrs prior to the treatment - reaction - do not carry out treatment - no reaction ok

Thanks for that, it was as i thought, but hey i didn't know for sure.

thank you for stopping my heasd explode........really appreciated.

behind the ear...OR (as I do) in the crease of the inner elbow....pre-cleanse the skin...apply tint and wait for 24-48 hrs.
Worse case I ever saw was a distict redness and peeling of the area tested.
No exceptions......test anyone and everyone
I had one lady who professed that since she had her hair coulred she was CERTAIN to be ok with a eyelash tint.....lmao

Exactly as people have said, do a small patch test behind the ear or I was told back of the elbow.

Hope this helps xx

You would also record this on a consultation card

You can do the test either behind the ear or the crease of the arm.

Just to add, i was taught to leave the 'blob' of tint on the inner elbow for 10mins before wiping off the excess, any discomfort remove it straight away.

1.Cleanse the area of the skin to be tested(behind the ear or the crook of the arm)
2. Mix the same make and colour of the tint to be used with manufacturer's recommended quantity of 10% volume peroxide.
3. Apply the tint to the area with a brush,about the size of a ten pence coin.
4. Allow to dry.
5. Ensure the client is aware that the tint should be left on for 24 hours.If no reaction occurs then wash off.
6. If a reaction occurs, the tint should be removed immediately with water and a soothing lotion applied to the area.
7. A reaction will be recognised by itching, red-hot inflamed area.This should be treated with a soothing substance.
Hope this helps.

Just to add to the above,you would use surgical spirit to cleanse the area,and remove natural oil.

I never use surgical spirit Becki

Like any thing else it depends how you were tought,i was always told that if natural oils were still present the test was ineffective as the tint would not be able to sink into the skin.I am speaking only from my haidressing knowledge.....doesn't necessarily mean i am right,i just do it as i was tought,i know no other way. If i am of any help,great,if not oops !

Ur right Becki we r all taught differently,I use either water or a pre wax solution to remove oils.
