How to Create Continuity of Natural Hair Care the Client and Stylist Relationship

When discussing continuity of care, the topic is usually directed towards health care. The American Academy of Family Physicians defines continuity of care as "the process by which the patient and the physician are cooperatively involved in ongoing health care management toward the goal of high quality, cost-effective medical care". But could this concept translate to the area of natural hair care? The key components of the continuity of care model are: cooperative work between the professional and non-professional, on-going care management, a common goal of high quality outcome, and cost-effective care. Can the natural hair stylist & client relationship help to create and ensure continuity of care when it comes to natural hair?


Cooperative work between the professional and the Non-Professional

This component merely means that the stylist and the client must work together. Meaning, if you call on a stylist to care for your hair, you should be sure to follow the directive and guidelines that they set out for you. At the beginning it is important that the client discusses their immediate, short-term, and long-term hair goals. This will help the natural hair stylist to develop a plan of action that helps the client reach their goals. If the client and the stylist are working in concert to achieve these goals, the effort will be that much stronger and the goals will be obtained that much easier.

On-going care management

On-going care management is only achieved with consistency. The client is key in making sure this component is met. Additionally, it is important that the person providing the service is the same person. This also will ensure that the on-going care is consistent since this person is familiar with the client's hair goals and hair condition. This also helps if any deviations arise in the client's hair. Also, the consistency of having the same stylist allows for changes that need to be made to the client's Plan of Action.

A Common Goal of High quality outcome

As discussed above, if the client states their goals in the beginning, both the client and stylist know what they are striving for and working towards. Being on common grown is key when aiming for high quality outcomes.

Cost-effective care

This is the most important of them all. What is the point of going nature if it is going to bleed you dry. The client and stylist have to both be on the same page regarding the client's resources. If the client has limited resources, the stylist should be able to recommend things the client can do at home to help with keeping the hair healthy between appointments. It is important that the client and stylist have an open path of communication so the Plan of Action can be on that works and is affordable.

The key components of the continuity of care model can translate to natural hair care if both the stylist and client are on board with making it happen. Carla Denise is The Loc Doc Natural Hair is my business http://www.thelocdoc.com/ Don't settle for regular natural hair.
