For which method would a client need to bend forward over the shampoo bowl?

Shampooing
Conditioning
Rinsing
Styling

The correct answer is: Shampooing

Bending forward over the shampoo bowl is typically associated with the process of shampooing. This position allows for optimal access to the scalp and hair, ensuring that the shampoo can be thoroughly applied and massaged into the hair and scalp. It also facilitates the rinsing process, as water can easily flow through the hair and down into the bowl without obstruction. When the client is in this position, it helps the stylist to effectively clean the hair without straining their back or causing discomfort to the client. While conditioning and rinsing can also involve being at the bowl, they don’t specifically require the client to bend forward in the same way that shampooing does. Styling, on the other hand, generally takes place away from the shampoo bowl, often at a styling station after the hair has been washed and conditioned. Therefore, the method that most accurately requires this forward bending is shampooing.
