balance

parietal ridge
bone that protrudes at the base of the skull is the ________ bone
occipital bone

apex
the location of the _____ corners for example, signals a change in the ______ of the bear from flat to ________ as vice versa
Four
shape
round
hair that grows below the parietal ridge, or crest, hangs because of gravity.
top
between the apex and the back of the parietal ridge
crown
the back part of the neck and consists of the hair below the occipital bone
male
all the hair that falls naturally behind the ear
back of the head
also known as the fringe sera, the triangular sections that behind at the apex and ends at the four corners
bang sera
all hair cuts are made up of _______,________, & ____________.
lines
sections
angles
a think continuous mark used as a guideline
line
working area that the hair is separated into prior to cutting
section
created when the space between two lines or surfaces intersects at a given point
angle
_______ are important elements in creating a strong foundation and consistency in hair cutting because this is how shapes are created.
Angles
3 types of straight lines in haircutting
- horizontal
- vertical
- diagonal
parallel from the floor and relative to the horizon
horizontal
described as up and down and are perpendicular to the horizon, opposite of horizontal lines.
vertical lines
remove weight to greater graduates or layered haircuts and are used with higher elevations
vertical lines
between horizontal and vertical lines. they have a slanting or sloping direction.
diagonal lines
________ and stacking are techniques using ________ lines to creates angles by cutting the ends of the hair with a slight increase or decrease to length
Beveling
diagonal
for control during hair cutting, the hair is parted into working areas called
sections
the line dividing the hair at the scalp, separating one section of hair from another, creating subsections
a part or parting
__________, also known as projection or lifting, is the degree at which a subsection of hair is held, or ___________, from the head when cutting
elevation
elevated
when the hair is elevated below _____° you are _________ weight
90
building
you will usually need to use ______ elevation on curly hair than on straighter textures, or leave the hair a bit longer because of shrinkage
less
angle at which the fingers are held when cutting the line that creates the end shape
cutting line
also known as a guide, is a subsection of hair that determines the length the hair will be cut
guideline
stationary guidelines are used in _______ haircuts or in hair cuts that use over direction to create length or weight increase
blunt
when you use a traveling guide, you take a small slice of the __________ subsection and _______ it to the next position, or subsection, where it becomes ____________.
previous
