Start with a Look at the Scalp
Follow a student scalp care session at JUNO HAIR POSCO Intersection to see how care proceeds at the salon. The first step is to check the scalp. The stylist examines the scalp between the hair strands and checks the view on a scalp analysis device's screen before beginning cleansing. 1
This is a good time for students and their guardians to tell the stylist about any areas of scalp discomfort or anything they have noticed when washing their hair. Asking what the screen shows and which steps are planned for the session can help you follow the process.
Cleanse with a Product, Then Brush
The hair is parted into sections, and a product is applied to the scalp. The scalp is cleansed with the product, followed by brushing. 1
Shampoo removes sebum, sweat, dead skin, dirt, and product residue. Its cleansing ingredients help oil and dirt rinse away with water, but excessive washing or strong cleansers can cause dryness and irritation. 2
Ask which product is being used during brushing, and speak up if you feel pulling or discomfort. Gentle scalp washing and avoiding harsh tugging on tangles are also basic principles of children's hair care. 3
Shampoo Again in the Spa Room
After the initial cleansing and brushing, the hair is shampooed again in the spa room. A handheld device is then used on the scalp. 1
It helps to distinguish the initial product cleansing, the shampoo in the spa room, and the device step that follows. You can ask questions suited to each stage, such as “When is the product applied earlier rinsed out?” or “What step is the device used for after shampooing?” Tell the stylist if anything feels uncomfortable during shampooing, too.
Apply a Mask and Continue with the Spa
After shampooing and the device step, a scalp mask is applied, followed by the spa treatment. 1
Check where each product belongs. Shampoo is used on the scalp; conditioner moisturizes and detangles hair. The guidance recommends conditioner on the ends of fine, straight hair and along the lengths of dry, curly hair. 4
When the mask is applied, ask for the product name, where it is applied, and whether it needs rinsing out. Asking whether a product is for cleansing, for the hair, or for the scalp can help you understand each step as several products are used during the spa session.
Finish with Serum and a Sonic Massage
After the spa treatment, serum is applied to the scalp. A sonic massage device completes the session. 1
At the end, you can ask separately about the serum instructions and the device step. Check whether you can wash your hair immediately afterward, and where and how to apply the same product if you use it at home. Writing down the product names and instructions can also make them easier to remember once you get home.
Practice Basic Hair-Washing Habits at Home
At home, wet the hair with warm water, wash gently, and rinse thoroughly. Use a towel to absorb water and carefully detangle the hair. 3
Washing frequency for ages 8–12 depends on age, hair type, and activity. Oily hair, greater activity, or puberty may call for more frequent washing, except for dry, curly hair, which has separate guidance. Consult a dermatologist for persistent dryness. 5
When reviewing hair-washing habits together, start with the steps the student finds difficult. Talk about whether they rush rinsing or pull hard on tangles when combing, and go over the product instructions you checked at the salon.
