For a client who swims and has a mixture of black and gray hair, which factor is important to mention?

The important factor to mention for a client with a mixture of black and gray hair is that gray hair will not respond well to treatment. This is because the effectiveness of laser hair removal depends largely on the contrast between the hair color and the skin color. Laser technology typically targets the pigment in the hair; therefore, darker hair, such as black, absorbs the laser energy more effectively than gray or white hair, which has less pigment. Consequently, clients with gray hair may not achieve the desired reduction in hair growth after the treatment.

While other options may address considerations related to swimming or shaving, they do not pertain to the efficacy of the treatment itself. Informing the client about the limitations of laser hair removal on gray hair is crucial for setting realistic expectations regarding the outcomes of their treatment plan.
