Key Benefits
These resources support delivery of SHBHDES001 Dry hair to shape by helping learners confirm the desired finish with their supervising hairdresser or barber and select the right styling products and tools. Trainers and assessors can use them to plan activities around measuring products to minimise wastage, starting the dry where directed, systematic sectioning, working with the direction of the cuticle and applying finishing products within salon timeframes.
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.
