What type of draping is typically performed with a plastic cape?

The type of draping typically performed with a plastic cape is shampoo draping. This method is specifically designed to protect the client’s clothing and skin from moisture and product while washing hair. The plastic cape, which is water-resistant, helps to contain water and shampoo, ensuring that the client remains dry and comfortable throughout the shampooing process.

In contrast, styling draping usually employs a different type of cape or towel that may not be as moisture-resistant. Chemical draping involves the use of more protective coverings to secure hair during processes like coloring or perming, which require more stringent safety measures. Wet draping can refer to a broader category of practices, but it typically involves the use of materials that absorb moisture rather than protect against it. Therefore, shampoo draping with a plastic cape is the most appropriate choice for performing this specific service.
