Chapter Nine: Sculpture Flashcards
The foundation for all other hair services is:
sculpture
The outer boundary or silhouette of any shape or form is known as the:
form line
The term used to describe the hair as the lengths layer or fall naturally over the curve of the head is known as:
natural fall
The widest area around the head is known as the:
crest area
Which basic form consists of hair lengths that progress from shorter in the exterior to longer in the interior and is referred to as a one-length cut?
solid
The graduated form is sometimes referred to as a wedge cut or a:
45 degree angle cut
A layered cut or 90 degree cut is known as a:
uniformly layered form
NOT true about the uniformly layered form:
rectangular or oval shape
Sculpting tool used to create a clean blunt edge:
shears
NOT a result achieved when sculpting with a razor:
regular alternation of short and long lengths
Which finger should be placed in the finger grip to control the still blade when holding shears?
ring
The moveable blade of the shears is controlled by the:
thumb grip
To hold the comb and shears in the same hand without jeopardizing the client’s safety, release the thumb grip and:
close you palm over the shears
Taper shears, also known as thinning shears, are used on the hair to:
reduce bulk
When using electric clippers, the attachment that allows the hair to be sculpted at the same length is the:
guard
A trimmer, also known as an edger, is a tool used to:
outline and refine the hairline
As it sculpts hair, the moveable blade of the clipper moves:
from side to side
Which tool controls short perimeter lengths when sculpting against the skin?
taper/contour comb
The term used to describe dividing the head into workable areas for the purpose of control:
sectioning
The apex refers to what part of the head?
top
The area below the occipital is referred to as the;
nape
What determines the size of the parting when sculpting hair?
density
Which head position produces lengths that are shorter in the nape and longer surface lengths, creating an under-bevel effect?
tilted forehead
What type of distribution results in a 90 degree angle from its parting?
perpendicular
What term, also known as elevation, is the angle at which the hair is held in relation to the curve of the head prior to sculpting?
projection
Which of the following angles best represents low projection (elevation)?
0 to 30 degrees
Angles between 60 and 90 percent represents:
high elevation
Projecting hair below 90 degrees would:
build weight
Which line is considered to be the artistic pattern or length guide while sculpting hair?
design line
A stationary design line is a guide to where all lengths are directed and is:
stable
A weight area is a graduated form could be described as a:
concentration of lengths
A design line that is used as a length guide for sculpting graduated, layered and square combination form is referred to as:
mobile (traveling)
term identifying the technique used to check the accuracy of a hair design by using opposite parting pattern:
cross checking
Sculpting shorter length within the form to reduce bulk and create support and mobility is called:
texturizing
Texturizing reduces bulk without:
shortening the overall length appearance of the hair
To maintain control of the hair, which hair type should be texturized a greater distance from the scalp:
coarse hair
As a general rule, coarse hair should be texturized at least:
1 1/2 inches from the scalp
To allow for more control and the shrinkage factor, very curly hair should be texturized while it is:
dry
A technique performed on the ends of the hair to reduce bulk, allow for mobility, soften the ends and blend weight lines is called:
end texturizing
To perform a bevel-under effect, the blade is positioned behind the section of the hair and moved in:
curved strokes
The technique that creates irregular lengths for a chunkier effect is called:
notching
A technique that is performed by gliding the open shears along the surface of the hair to achieve mobility is called:
slicing
The technique used to position the shears parallel to the comb while moving both upward in unison is called:
shear-over-comb
A sculpting technique that is commonly used to define the perimeter hairline such as the nape is known as:
outlining
To accommodate a growth patter such as a widow’s peak, cowlick or whorl when sculpting the hair, which statement would apply:
allow additional length in the growth pattern area
Growth pattern that forms from a point at the front hairline and curves to one side:
widow’s peak
An uneven effect is created when sculpting hair that is:
partly wet and partly dry
Infection control procedures include sweeping and disposing of cut hair:
prior to performing the air forming service
