In part 1 of the 12 Signs that Your Clients' Hair is in Trouble!, we talked about some signs that could indicate the beginning of trouble for your Client's Hair. As a Proactive Stylist, you will need to be on the lookout for these indicators so you can inform your Client. Join The Good Hair Tribe Membership to learn more about how to spot and handle these issues.
The following are some more signs that your Client's Hair and Scalp might be in trouble:
7. Your Client has Scaly Patches on Other Parts of the Body
Some scalp disorders also manifest themselves in other parts of the body. Depending on the type of disorder, they can manifest themselves on the nipples, pubic region, nose crack, etc. If you suspect your client is suffering from a scalp disorder, you can probe with this question, and raise the red flag If she responds in the affirmative.
8. Inflammations, Sores and Pus on Scalp
Grab your gloves right away! You might just be encountering a fungal infection, and you sure don't want your salon to be a source of fungal infection spread in your locality. If you see oozing sores and pus on your client's head, you should send her to a doctor right away. Don't even touch that scalp! Encourage them to seek professional advice from a Certified Trichologist and Join The Good Hair Tribe Membership for comprehensive insights into Holistic Hair Care.
9. Your Client has a Smooth Scalp in Place of Follicles
If you notice smooth and shiny skin in an area that is supposed to be filled with little or a lot of hair, this is definitely a cause for alarm, as your clients' follicles might be dead. Please note that hair cannot grow in an area where the hair follicles are dead, but you can help your client stop the practices that led to this situation
10. Your Client's Scalp is Filled with Flakes
If your client has flakes plenty enough to fill her shoulders, clothes, and the chair she is sitting on with white dust falling off her scalp, she should definitely get it checked out. It is okay to have a dry scalp that peels off once in a while, but not too prolonged and embarrassing enough to spray everyone around her with.

11. Your Client has a Leathery Scalp Texture
Once your client suffers from hair loss, it is either the hair grows back or not. It is a very bad sign if the texture of the scalp begins to change to a leathery feel. It means something is going on underneath the scalp, and your client possibly needs to get a scalp biopsy to confirm the presence of any form of scarring alopecia.
12. Your Client's Hairline Keeps Receding
If the hairline of your client keeps receding with each salon visit, it is time to stop that client right in her tracks. She is obviously engaging in some bad hair care practices, and I guess that you know about those practices. It is time for you to walk with her on her journey back to hair recovery.
