9 HIGHER NATIONAL UNIT SPECIFICATION SUPPORT NOTES UNIT NUMBER: UNIT TITLE: SPECIALISED TREATMENT OF HAIR AND SCALP CONDITIONS SUPPORT NOTES: This part of the unit specification is offered as guidance. None of the sections of the support notes is mandatory. NOTIONAL DESIGN LENGTH: SQA allocates a notional design length to a unit on the basis of time estimated for achievement of the stated standards by a candidate whose starting point is as described in the access statement. The notional design length for this unit is 80 hours. The use of notional design length for programme design and timetabling is advisory only. PURPOSE The purpose of this unit is to give candidates a basic understanding of the skills required to carry out specialised treatment of hair and scalp conditions and the underpinning knowledge required to ensure comprehension of the various conditions which they will be treating. This unit also gives the required skills and knowledge for candidates who are studying the first year of the HND Trichology course. CONTENT/CONTEXT Outcome 1 Demonstration of analysis and consultation techniques should be given to candidates to ensure tactful questioning will be carried out during treatments. Information on the product ranges should be available for candidates to use - either in the form of technical manuals or product information sheets. Candidates should be given help in accessing this material. Technical seminars may be of help in this area. Underpinning knowledge should include; analysis techniques; how to operate equipment used during treatments; cause of conditions and how they may be treated; contra-indications: how they appear and their cause; how to decide on appropriate treatments. Outcome 2 Health and safety factors relating to application of products and treatment methods should be discussed, also factors relating to client and candidate (eg. contra-indications and so forth). 9

10 The importance of adequate preparation of client (both discussion, informing and gowning, and so forth) should be emphasised, also protection of candidate. The importance of accurate and legible recording of treatments should be emphasised as records are the most adequate way to monitor progress and problems. Product ranges of at least 2 relevant currently marketed systems. Outcome 3 Candidates should be advised of how to monitor changes in the condition, ie, accurate notes taken before, during and at end of treatment. Photographs may be of great help during this process. Objective assessment of progress should be given (candidates may not be able to cure a condition) by means of statements which record the physiological changes which have occurred. In some cases the main benefits may be psychological - assessment of this may be achieved by client questionnaire or similar. Outcome 4 Candidates should be able to describe the performance criteria in detail. Reference should be made to photographs, stickers, pictures, videos, microscopic specimens and so forth, to ensure comprehension of subject matter. Information given should cover from development of primitive hair germ through to fully developed follicle in anagen. Information given should cover structure of lanugo, vellus and terminal hair. Cortical structure should describe from amino acids - polypeptide chains - protofibrils - microfibrils - macrofibrils. Mention should be made of intercellular cement and its function. Information given should have differentiation of cuticle, cortex, medulla and inner root sheath. The keratinisation process should cover the process with the cells which happens progressively. Information given should cover lanugo hair and terminal hair growth cycles. The change from wave pattern to random mosaic pattern of growth with cycle should be covered. The change in growth cycle length from puberty to elderly should be covered. 10

11 Outcome 5 Candidates should be able to describe the performance criteria in detail. Reference should be made to photographs, stickers, pictures, videos, microscopic specimens and so forth, to ensure comprehension of subject matter. Information given should cover stratum corneum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, stratum germinatiuum; melanin and melanocytes; eccrine and apocrine glands; sebaceous glands; hair follicles and connective tissue. Size and shape of cells of epidermis and changes which take place during the keratinisation process should be mentioned. (e) The effects of massage on the skin, ie, increasing the blood supply to the skin should be covered including erythema. Outcome 6 The effects of massage on the muscles should cover relief of muscle fatigue, relaxation, tension relief, improvement of elasticity, improvement of muscle tone by passive exercise. Candidates should be able to describe the performance criteria in detail. Reference should be made to photographs, slides, pictures, reference books and so forth to ensure comprehension of subject matter. Information given should cover the dysfunctions outlined in the range statement. APPROACHES TO GENERATING EVIDENCE SQA s Guide to Assessment. Reference should be made to See support notes and content/context for supplementary advice which may be helpful. ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES Outcomes 1-3 These outcomes are primarily skills based with evidence being generated by performance evidence and written and/or oral evidence. Candidates will require adequate practice and formative assessment prior to summative assessment. Outcome 1 Candidates should be given the opportunity to work with the product ranges they will be using during assessment. Technical manuals or product knowledge information should be available to enable candidates to choose suitable treatments and products for the clients hair and scalp conditions. 11

12 The use of consultation sheets and worksheets should be encouraged as a means of generating evidence. Outcome 2 Candidates should be made aware of health and safety factors relating to products and treatment methods including contra-indications (eg Pediculosis Capitis, Ringworm, Impetigo). Manufacturers instructions should be made available. Record sheets should be encouraged as a means of generating evidence. Outcome 3 Candidates should compile a portfolio containing consultation sheets, worksheets, record sheets or similar. Support notes to generate written evidence should also be included. Portfolio should show evidence of observation and so forth over the 4-8 week period. Candidates should incorporate information about clients hair and scalp condition. Outcomes 4-6 Candidates should be encouraged to read outwith course notes to ensure understanding and comprehension. Suitable text books/reference books could include: Advanced Hairdressing Science - Florence Openshaw. Written evidence generated should encompass guidelines laid down by SQA in the Guide to Assessment. A range of material should be included to ensure adequate comprehension of the course subject material. PROGRESSION This unit forms part of the programme for the HNC in Hairdressing and Salon Organisation. Candidates successfully completing the HNC will be able to progress onto the HND Trichology.
