Which statement is NOT true about draping?

• A. Performed prior to hair care service
• B. Protects client's skin and clothing
• C. Performed after client removes jewelry
• D. Performed after shampooing is complete

Answer: (D)

Draping serves to protect the client’s skin and clothing from water, chemicals, and hair debris throughout the service, so it’s put on before any part of the hair care process begins. This includes shampooing, styling, and coloring, meaning the drape should be in place as soon as you start the appointment and after the client has removed jewelry to avoid snagging and ensure full coverage. Because the purpose of draping is protection during the entire service, it must be applied before shampooing—not after it’s complete. That’s why the statement about draping being done after shampooing is complete isn’t true. The other points align with proper draping: it’s done before the service, it protects skin and clothing, and it’s done after jewelry removal to ensure full coverage.
