Chapter 16 Flashcards
Surfaces on the head where the head changes such as the ears jawline and occipital bone are referred to as
Reference points
Reference points and a haircut are used to establish
Design lines
Achieving balance within a design can be accomplished by understanding the blank and reference points
Head shape
What is the widest part of the head starting at the temples and ending at the bottom of the crown that can be found by placing a calm flat on the side of the head?
Parietal ridge
What bone protrudes at the base of the school?
Occipital bone
The blank is the highest point on the top of the head and can be located easily by placing a comb on the top of the head and noticing that the comb is resting on the highest point
Apex
The location of the four corners signals a change in blank
Head shape
The two front corners represent the widest part of the blank
Bang area
Hair that grows below the parietal ridge or crest hangs because of blank
Gravity
What area of the head is located between the Apex and the back of the parietal ridge
Crown
The blank area defined as the area at the back part of the neck and consist of the hair below the occipital bone
Nape
By making a parting or drawing a line from the Apex to the back of the year you can locate the blink of the head which consist of all the hair that falls naturally behind the hair
Back
What is this triangular section of the head that begins with the Apex and ends at the front corners?
Bang area
A blank is a thin continuous mark curved or straight used as a guide while cutting hair
Line
What is the working area of the hair that is separated prior to cutting?
Section
A blank is created when the space between two lines or surfaces intersects at a given point
Angle
An important element in creating a strong foundation and consistency in haircutting and creating shapes is the use of blank
Angles
The three types of straight lines in haircutting include horizontal vertical and blank lines
Diagonal
What type of haircutting lines are parallel to the floor and relative to the horizon?
Horizontal lines
What type of haircutting lines are perpendicular to the Horizon and are used to remove weight to create graduated or layered haircut and higher elevations?
Vertical lines
Blank lines in a haircut are those that live between the horizontal and vertical have a slanting or sloping direction and help to blend long layers into short layers to create fullness
Diagonal
Blank or stacking involves using diagonal lines to create angles by cutting the ends of the hair with a slight increase or decrease in length
Beveling
For control during haircutting the hair is parted into working areas called
Sections
What is the line dividing the hair at the scalp separating one section from another to create subsections
Parting
Blank also known as projection or lifting is the degree in which a subsection of hair is held from the head when cutting
Elevation
Elevation creates graduation and layers and is usually described in blank
Degrees
What is the elevation or degrees contained in a blunt or one length haircut
Zero
When the hair is elevated blank you are building weight in a haircut
Below 90°
What hair type requires less elevation and should be left a bit longer when cutting because of shrinkage as it dries
Curly hair
Blank occurs when the hair contracts or lifts through the action of moisture loss or drying
Shrinkage
The angle at which the fingers are held when cutting the line that creates the shape is referred to as the
Cutting line
