This question was very popular among the candidates and is one of their strength. Majority of
the candidates’ performed excellently and were able to list the implement and supplies required
during shampooing. Although in the (d) & (e) parts, the candidates’ were unable to state the to
be done to clean-up after shampooing and safety precaution to be taken during shampooing e.g.   
discard used materials, clean, sanitize the shampoo bowl, place unused supplies in their proper
place, make sure shampoo does not get into  the client eye, protect ears with pieces of cotton
wool and test the water temperature before washing the clients hair etc. Therefore the
candidates’ performed woefully on this part of the question.
