    situations where a treatment should not be used due to harm

    Contraindications refer to specific situations or conditions where a particular treatment, medication, or procedure should not be used because it may be harmful to the person. For example, if someone is allergic to a certain drug, that drug would be contraindicated for them. In the context of hair treatments, a contraindication might be a scalp infection that would make certain chemical treatments unsafe.
