## Step 1<br />The problem is asking us to identify the correct safety precaution when applying hair color. The options provided are:<br />A. Avoid applying hair color if there are abrasions on the scalp.<br />B. Brush the hair before applying color.<br />C. Overlap during a hair color retouch.<br />D. Avoid using a mild shampoo; instead use an alkaline shampoo.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />We need to evaluate each option based on its potential to ensure safety during hair coloring.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Option A suggests avoiding the application of hair color if there are abrasions on the scalp. This is a valid safety precaution because abrasions can allow the hair color to penetrate the scalp, potentially causing irritation or allergic reactions.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />Option B suggests brushing the hair before applying color. While this is a good practice for even application, it is not a safety precaution.<br /><br />## Step 5<br />Option C suggests overlapping during a hair color retouch. This is not a safety precaution but rather a technique used to ensure even coverage.<br /><br />## Step 6<br />Option D suggests avoiding using a mild shampoo and instead using an alkaline shampoo. This is not a safety precaution but rather a recommendation for hair care.
