🌿 HAARVERSORGING

LES VIR VANDAG

LEER EERS DIE HARE KEN

Verstaan. Observeer. Kies reg. Versorg.

🎯 Vandag se doel

Vandag leer jy om:

♡ ’n Persoon se haartipe te herken.
♡ Die tekstuur van die hare te beskryf.
♡ Tussen individuele haardikte en haardigtheid te onderskei.
♡ Na die hare én kopvel te kyk voordat jy begin.
♡ Te verstaan waarom dieselfde produk nie noodwendig vir almal werk nie.

---

1. KYK EERS

Hoe lyk die hare?

Reguit • Golwend • Gekruld • Kroes-/Afrohare

Hoe voel dit?

☐ Sag
☐ Glad
☐ Growwer
☐ Droog
☐ Bros
☐ Verstrengel
☐ Fyn
☐ Dik

Onthou:
Dik hare beteken nie noodwendig baie hare nie.

’n Persoon kan fyn hare met ’n hoë digtheid hê, of dik individuele hare met ’n laer digtheid.

---

2. VOEL DIE HARE

Gebruik jou vingers en hanteer die hare sagkens.

☐ Voel dit droog of sag?
☐ Voel die punte bros?
☐ Verstrengel dit maklik?
☐ Voel die individuele hare fyn of dik?
☐ Hoe reageer die hare wanneer dit nat gemaak word?

Moenie aan die hare trek om dit te toets nie.

---

3. KYK NA DIE KOPVEL

Voordat jy met ’n produk of behandeling begin, kyk ook na die kopvel.

Let op vir:

☐ Droogheid
☐ Olierigheid
☐ Skilfers
☐ Jeuk
☐ Rooiheid
☐ Sensitiwiteit
☐ Sere of korsies
☐ Knoppies of puisies
☐ Ongewone haarverlies

Ons diagnoseer nie. Ons kyk, observeer en verwys wanneer nodig.

4. VANDAG SE BELANGRIKE LES

MOENIE EERSTE DIE SKÊR VAT NIE.

Kyk eers na die hare.
Verstaan die hare.
Kyk na die kopvel.
Dan kies jy jou tegniek.

Dit is die beginsel waarop goeie haarversorging en haarsny begin.

5. PRAKTIESE OEFENING

Kies iemand se hare — jou eie hare, ’n familielid s’n of iemand wat toestemming gee.

Moenie vandag sny nie.

HOW TO COMB OUT KNOTS

A gentle, no-tears method for children’s hair

The golden rule:
Never fight the knot. Work with it. 💜

1. DON’T START AT THE ROOT

If you pull a comb from the roots through a tangled section, the knot gets tighter and can hurt the child.

Instead, divide the hair into small sections and secure the hair you aren't working on.

2. ADD SLIP

Lightly dampen the tangled area and apply conditioner or a suitable detangling product.

The goal is to make the hair slippery enough for the strands to move past one another.

Don't soak the hair. You want controlled moisture and slip.

3. HOLD THE HAIR ABOVE THE KNOT

This is one of the most important techniques.

Place your hand firmly between the child's scalp and the knot.

This prevents the pulling force from being transferred directly to the scalp.

> Hold → Separate → Comb.

4. START AT THE VERY ENDS

Use your fingers first.

Gently loosen the smallest part of the knot at the bottom.

Then use a wide-tooth detangling comb.

Work:

ENDS → MID-LENGTHS → ROOTS

Never the other way around.

5. DON'T DRAG THE COMB THROUGH

If the comb stops:

STOP.

Don't force it.

Remove the comb, use your fingers to separate the strands, add a little more conditioner/detangler if necessary, and try again.

6. WORK IN TINY SECTIONS

A large tangled section can look impossible.

Break it into smaller pieces.

Big knot → smaller knots → individual strands → smooth hair.

This is much easier for both you and the child.

7. FINISH WITH A GENTLE COMB-THROUGH

Once the knot is gone, comb from the ends upward until the entire section moves smoothly.

Then check the nape of the neck, behind the ears and underneath the hair — these areas commonly tangle first.

---

💡 FERN & FEATHER TIP

If the child says, “It hurts!” — don't tell them to sit still and push through it.

Stop.

Change your technique.

A good home haircare routine should teach children:

“My hair can be cared for without hurting me.”

🚫 AVOID

Pulling hard through knots

Starting at the roots

Using a fine-tooth comb on severe tangles

Ripping through a matted section

Brushing aggressively when the hair is dry and highly tangled

Holding the child's hair away from the scalp and pulling against the skin

🌿 REMEMBER

Fingers first.
Ends first.
Small sections.
Hold above the knot.
Slow is faster.
