Key Benefits
These resources support delivery of SHBHREF003 Straighten and relax hair with protein treatments by helping learners review straightening history, discuss lifestyle factors, identify contraindications and advise on the achievable result and how long it will last. Trainers and assessors can use them to plan activities around selecting protein products, protecting skin, applying product from roots to ends with the recommended smoothing technique, timing processing, drying and flat ironing, and disposing of hazardous waste.
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.
