always direct the hot air away from the clients scalp to avoid scalp burns.

Explanation:

Analyze blowdrying guidelines

Using the Blow Drying Safety knowledge point

• Option 1 Analysis: Partially towel drying hair before blowdrying is actually recommended to remove excess moisture and reduce heat exposure time. Thus, this guideline is incorrect.
• Option 2 Analysis: When blowdrying chemically treated or damaged hair, you should avoid using excessive tension, but "combing" or styling with a brush is a standard part of the process when done gently.
• Option 3 Analysis: You should always keep the blowdryer in a constant back-and-forth motion to prevent heat from concentrating in one spot and burning the hair or scalp.
• Option 4 Analysis: Directing the hot air flow away from the client's scalp is a fundamental safety rule to prevent painful thermal burns.

Therefore, the correct guideline to follow is to always direct the hot air away from the client's scalp.

Answer:

• Never towel dry the hair partially or completely before blowdrying to prevent overstretching and damaging the hair.
• When working with chemically treated or damaged hair, avoid any tension by "combing" the hair with a brush.
• Never move the blowdryer in a constant back-and-forth motion, except when using the cool shot button.
• Always direct the hot air away from the client's scalp to avoid scalp burns. (Correct answer)
