Secure the cape at the neck to protect the back from falling hair or chemicals used at a salon.
Hair will fall during a session with your stylist, regardless if you are getting a simple trim or an entire new hairdo. The best way to keep your clothes and skin hair-free is to wear a haircutting cape. These oversized, plastic or cloth capes are available at salons. These capes catch all falling hair. When the stylist is finished, he will pull off the cape and you can leave free of hair trimmings.
Instructions
1. Wrap a towel around your neck prior to putting on the cape to prevent hair from slipping down your back. Fold a hand towel in half horizontally and clip the two ends together in the front of your neck. Hair clips are handy to use or you can pin it with a large safety pin. A stylist will often do this for you.
2. Grab the appropriate size cape. Generally, the bigger the better. Make sure the cape is large enough to fit comfortably around the neck.
3. Sit in a salon chair and drape the cape over your body. Often, a stylist does this without you asking once you're in the stylist's chair.
4. Fluff the cape in front of you so it lays over your torso and both legs. This will keep hair from falling on your clothing.
5. Remove the cape carefully at the end of the cut. Unsnap the back and fold it forward to contain all the hair in the center of the cape. Unfold the cape over a trash can to dispose of the hair. Often, a stylist will remove the cape for you and remove the towel from around your neck. The hair will fall on the floor and salon staff will clean it up.
