How to get a second-hair appointment in a second hand shop

A second-haired appointment is the latest trend for people looking for an affordable alternative to buying their own hair. 

But the practice is controversial and could affect your hair colour and quality, according to a new report from the UK’s Health Protection Agency. 

It’s a move that has caused controversy with some people saying it’s unethical for second-hairs to pay to have their hair styled.

What you need to know about second-handed hair:1.

What is a second hair appointment? 

A second-Hair appointment is when a second, natural hair style is ordered for you.

Second-Hairs can’t change their hair style, but they can change the length of their hair.

When this happens, you’re entitled to pay for a second haircut if you’re over the age of 70.2.

How does it work? 

You can opt in for a new hairstyle, and pay a fee to have the hair styled and style extensions fitted.

You can also pay a separate fee for each style. 

3.

What happens if my hair isn’t styled? 

If your hair isn�t styled, you will be given a second opinion and the hair may need to be styled again.

4.

What if my hairstyle isn’t good enough? 

Your hair will still need to have styling but you’ll have to pay extra to have your hair coloured, the Health Protection Authority (HPA) says.

5.

Do I need to wear a wig? 

The HPA has warned that wearing a wig in a salon, a barber shop, or a salon in a general salon is considered a ‘dangerous and unscientific practice’ and that if done, it could cause serious and even life-threatening health issues.6.

Can I have a second appointment if I want a new haircut? 

Yes, you can have a haircut if your hair is too short or too long, or if you want a different hairstyle altogether.

However, the HPA recommends that you ask for a different appointment if your natural hair looks too short and too long.

7.

Is it ethical to do this? 

It�s ethical, as long as it�s done properly, the HPA says.

If you want to opt out of the second-had haircut service, you need a doctor�s note stating that you have an age restriction of over 70 and your hair needs to be cut.8.

Can you opt out? 

Sure, you are able to opt in and you can pay a flat fee of £10 per appointment for your natural, short, or long hair.

However, it�ll depend on whether your hair has to be clipped or not, and whether you need styling. 

9.

What do you need if you don�t have a GP? 

GPs advise that people who don�ts have a local GP should visit a second home.

The HPA says people should visit their GP before opting in, so that their GP can check whether they have the right to opt-in.

If you�re over the legal age of 40 and can’t opt-out, you may need a GP referral to get the second appointment.10.

Does this apply to me? 

No, this is not a generalised policy for people over the Age of 70, the report says.

However if you have been treated for a serious or life-changing illness and you have a problem with your hair, you should contact your GP.
