Under a cape, which item can be used to protect the client's neck?

• A. A clean towel
• B. A disposable neck strip
• C. A clean towel or disposable neck strip
• D. No neck protection

Answer: (C)

Protecting the neck from contact with the cape and any products is essential for hygiene and client comfort. A clean towel provides a fresh barrier that catches hair and drips and creates a comfortable buffer between the skin and the cape; it should be clean, dry, and positioned to cover the neck area before draping. A disposable neck strip offers a thin, disposable barrier that seals around the neck, preventing cape fibers, hair, and products from touching the skin; it’s convenient and hygienic because it’s discarded after use. Either option can be used under a cape to keep the neck protected, depending on preference or shop policy, while not using any neck protection would leave the neck exposed to potential irritation and contamination.
