Key Benefits
These resources support delivery of SHBHDES005 Select and apply hair extensions by helping learners discuss client expectations, analyse natural hair and explain costs, application technique and maintenance before recommending a design. Trainers and assessors can use them to plan activities around selecting extension colour and type, mixing fibres, preparing and sectioning natural hair, sealing strands with bonding equipment, avoiding traction alopecia and cutting to blend extensions.
Your RTO should still carry out independent validation to confirm alignment with your specific delivery context and learner cohort, as required under the Standards for RTOs. Use the assessment mapping as your starting point.
