Salon professionals want to provide a safe and comfortable hair care
alternative for their clients. Read on to learn more about the
Zero-Flex Hair Care System...
Q. Which clients should use the Zero-Flex Hair Care System?
A.
Although the
Zero-Flex unit creates a safer and more comfortable salon
experience for any client, there are particular client segments who
should always have their hair washed and rinsed using the system:
- Any client who is at increased risk for
stroke - previous stroke, family history, high blood pressure and
high-risk ethnic groups
- Any client who has experienced neck, back or arm pain, dizziness or headache after using a shampoo bowl or backwash station
- Any client with arthritis, osteoporosis or a history of musculoskeletal disorders
- Any client who is uncomfortable in a traditional shampoo bowl or backwash station
Q. How is Zero-Flex different from other products like neck pads or shampoo capes and trays?
A.
Shampoo bowl neck pads, while making the shampoo bowl somewhat more
comfortable, do nothing to eliminate
Neck HyperExtension and the
resulting health risks.
Shampoo capes and trays, while
preventing some
Neck HyperExtension, do not eliminate all
Neck HyperExtension,
as it is necessary for the client to lean back in order
for the stylist to get at the front of the head. Because these products
do not completely encompass the head, water drips down the front of the
client's face.
Unlike neck pads and portable shampoo basins, The
Zero-Flex system is the only product on the market that eliminates all
Neck HyperExtension the client's head and neck are kept in a
completely upright and neutral position during shampoos, processes and
rinses. Because the Zero-Flex basin completely encompasses the client's
head, the stylist can fully wash and rinse the front of the hair
without splashing or dripping.
