Hairdresser warns people to never wash hair before appointment for one reason

A hairdresser has warned people who are going to get their haircut to never make a crucial mistake - and it's something we are all probably guilty of.

Talking about the common error, he asked why people wash their hair before an appointment when they are going to get their hair washed anyway. Not only is it pointless, but it could affect your hair.

Taking to TikTok, the expert who goes by the username @rhysandhair, questioned: "Can someone please explain to me why clients still feel the need to wash their hair before they come to an appointment?

"I've had two this morning alone. Not only is it a waste of their time, but loves, I want your hair dirty. I want your hair oily.

"Not only is it my job to wash your hair and make it clean and sparkling and smell lovely, but those oils in your scalp are protecting your scalp against colour. We are putting chemicals on your head and this oil and dirt and that little build up is protecting your hair."

When a client comes in with clean hair, he says "they get a slap on the wrist from me". Addressing people in his industry, he adds: "Make sure you educate your clients, you don;t want them coming in with clean hair especially when you are about to do a colour service."

In response to his video, one user said "I do because the amount of hairdressers on here that shame people "things we wish our clients did or didn't do" and going in with greasy hair is always top of the list". In his response, he warned to not listen to this.

He said: "Pay them no attention, these oils are protecting your scalp! Especially for a colour service!"

Another commented the same with the hairdresser responding: "They all need a word with themselves."
