A

Thin, continuous mark used as a guide; can be straight or curved, horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.

A

Back part of the neck; the hair below the occipital bone.

33
Q

notching

A

Haircutting technique, a version of point cutting, in which the tips of the shears are moved toward the hair ends rather than into them; creates a chunkier effect.
