Hair Design Flashcards
Hair design is a temporary change in
Fo4m texture and direction that is achievable through wet and thermal design as well as long hair design techniques
Reasons to get hair design
Weekly service
special occasions
completion of another service
The two areas of hair design services are
Wet and thermal design
Hair design analysis includes
Levels of observation basic detail abstract
The two categories of surface texture are
Known as unactivated smooth, and activated rough
Tighter curl pattern added to increase layered forms create the illusion of
Shorter lengths
Rectangle shapes are usually used to move hair
Move in one direction
Curvature shapes used in hair design include
Oblong
The half circle is most often used to move hair
Half toward half away from the face
The temporary nature of hair design services provides clients with
Styling options Flexibility Try new designs Fun Freedom to change without chemical change
Wet design
Refers to area of hair designing in which the hair is manipulated into the desired shapes and movements while wet and then allowed to dry
Wet styling
Structured longer lasting
Thermal design
The technique of drying or designing hair by using a hand held dryer while simultaneously using your fingers a variety of brushes pressing comb and thermal irons
Thermal styling
Softer casual finish
Basic

Abstract
Direction
Where hair moves in relation to face
Forward/toward face
Back/away
One side
Texture pattern
Straight Waves Curls Spiral curls Crimped
Inactivated surface texture
Straight
Flat iron & pressing comb
Activated surface texture
Waves Air forming with brush Curls Rollers Spiral curls Curling iron Crimped texture Crimping iron
Length reduction
Shrinkage factor that result from various size tools used in the same length hair
Texture speed
Activation
The dimension of the texture pattern
Ranges from slow to fast waves highly activated curls
Lage diameter tools on longer lengths
Produce large waves and are considered slow
Small diameter tools
Produce tighter curls considered fast
Direction within the design
Lines that can be straight curved or angled
Impression of motion
Hair design technique allow
Temporary alter shape
Texture
Direction of client sculpted form
Solid form
Unactivated surface texture
Perimeter weight line
Addition of curls shifts weight area upward creating the illusion of a layered form
The tighter the curl pattern
The tighter the curl pattern the more expansive the form becomes
Graduated form
Combination of unactivated and activated texture
Tighter curl pattern produce wider silhouettes and emphasize the triangular shape of the graduated form
Increase layered form
Oval shape
No discernible Weight
Curls cause illusion of shorter lengths
Uniformly layered form
Activated
Round shape no weight
Combination forms
Smooth activated
Defy gravity
Straight shapes
Create straight directional movement either away from face or toward
Rectangles
Triangles
Rectangles
Hair moves in one direction
Triangles
Disperse outward from the narrow end of the triangle
Or disperse from wide end toward the point
Curvature shapes
Create curved movement in the hair either in a clockwise or counterclockwise
Circle
Oblong
Circles
Subdivided into half or quarter circles
Half circle shown here is set with rollers to move half the hair away from face and half towards
Creates side fringe
Oblong
2 or more oblong that alternate directions create wave patterns
Molded or set with rollers or pincurls
The type of comb that is used for distribution molding scaling and parting the hair is called
Fine tooth tail comb
Type of comb that is used to backcomb the hair separate curls and define texture
Wide tooth tail comb
Brush that allows the greatest airflow hair can be dried faster while directing them into the lines
Vent brush
Round brushes may have a core that is made out of
Wood metal or plastic
Tool used to relax a set backbrush or smooth the surface of the hair is
Cushion brush
Conical rollers are used within curvature shapes and create
Progression of diameters
Examples of thermal design tools
Flat irons
Blow dryers
Curling iron
Blow dryer attachment that spreads airflow gently over a large area
Is called a diffuser
Flat irons consist of 2 flat plates that include
Metal
The characteristics of styling products include
Viscosity
Level of shine
Level of hold/control
Molding comb
Distribute and mold hair
Used for fingerwaves
Wide spaces teeth distribute
Fine spaced refine lines of distribution
Master sketcher comb
Used for backcombing and smooth surfaces
Used to detangle
Fine tooth tail comb
Drawing comb Used for distribution Molding Scaling Parting
Fine spaced teeth distribute hair smoothly
Wide tooth tail comb
Rake comb Used for backcombing Finishing techniques Create texture patterns Detangles Separate curls defines texture
Lifter comb
Teaser and lift comb
Used for backcombing
Details surface texture
Lifts and adds volume
Brushes consists of
Brushes can consist of nylon or boar bristles
7 - 9- row brush
Air form smooth textures
Creates directional emphasis
Create volume
Curved end texture
Vent brush
Greatest airflow so hair can be dried quickly
Directs hair into lines of the design
Round brushes
Create volume Curved end texture curls Available in different diameters Bristles are nylon or boar May have metal core retains heat Wood or plastic core
Cushion brush
Used to brush hair Relax Dry mold Back brush Smooth surface Soft padded base Type and density and length influence surface appearance
Rollers
Applied to wet or damp hair
More structured finish
Gripper type surfaces or metallic
Cylinder straight rollers
Create uniform curl formation across length width
Used with straight shapes (rectangles, and triangle)
Faster way to set hair using volume stand up pincurls
Conical cone shaped rollers
Consist of a progression of speed because of their wide and narrow ends
Progression curl diameter
Used in curvature shapes
Circles oblong
Blow dryer and attachments
Used to aid form wet hair
Concentrators
Diffusers
Concentrators
Focus on airflow to a small area
Diffusers
Spread a gentle airflow over larger areas and are used for creating scrunched textures
Curling iron
Temporary curvilinear texture pattern
Marcel irons
Pressing combs
Used to apply heat and tension to temporarily straighten hair
Flat iron
Two plates
Temporarily straightens hair
Plates can be ceramic or metal
Crimping iron
Angular serrated plates
Create crimped zip zag pattern
Undulating iron
Two undulating curved irons
Creates s pattern

Used to dry
Smooth
Curl

Hot rollers
Dry hair quickly
Add volume and texture
