Haircutting✔️ Flashcards
Space between two lines of surfaces that intersect at a given point.
Angle
Highest point on the head.
Apex
Haircutting technique using diagonal lines by cutting hair ends with a sign increase or decrease in length.
Beveling
Also known as a one-length haircut;haircut in which all the hair comes to one hanging level,forming a weight line or area;hair is cut with no elevation or over direction.
Blunt haircut
Haircutting technique done by placing the still blade into the hair,resting it on the scalp,and then moving the shears through the hair while opening and partially closing the shears.
Carving
Method of manufacturing shears;a metal-forming process whereby molten steel is pored into a mold and,once the metal is cooled,takes on the shape of the mold.
Cast
Haircutting technique similar to scissor-over-comb,except that the clippers move side to side across the comb rather than bottom to top.
Clipper-over-comb
Parting the haircut in the opposite way from which you cut it in order to check for precision of line and shape.
Cross-checking
Area of the head between the apex and back of the parietal ridge.
Crown
Angle at which the finger’s are held when cutting,and,ultimately,the line that is cut;also known as finger angle,finger position,cutting position,or cutting angle.
Cutting line
A type of diagonal line that creates movement away from the face.
Diagonal back
A type of diagonal line that creates movement toward the face.
Diagonal forward
Where and how hair is moved over the head.
Distribution
Also known as slithering;process of thinking the hair to graduated lengths with shears;cutting the hair with sliding movement of the shears while keeping the blades partially opened.
Effilating
Also known as projection or lifting;the degree at which a subsection of hair is held,or lifted,from the head when cutting.
Elevation
Process of working metal to a finished shape by hammering or pressing.
Forged
Points on the head that signal a change in the shape of the head, from flat to round or vice versa.
Four corners
Haircutting technique in which pieces of the hair are snipped out at random intervals.
Free-hand notching
Haircutting technique used to release weight from the subsuction,allowing the hair to move more freely.
Free-hand slicing
Slow or immediate buildup of weight;an effect or haircut that results from cutting the hair with tension,low to medium elevation,or overdirection.
Graduated haircutting
Elevation that occurs when a section is lifted above 0 degrees.
Graduation
Direction in which the hair grows from teh scalp;also referred to ad natural fall or natura; falling position.
Growth pattern
Also known as guide;section of the hair,located either at the perimeter or the interior of the cut,which determines the length the hair will be cut.usually the first section that is cut to create a shape.
Guideline
Hair that grows at the outermost perimeter along the face, around the ears, and on the neck.
Hairline
also known as head shape; the shape of the head, which greatly effects the way the hair falls and behaves.
Head form
Inner or internal part.
Interior
Guideline that is inside the haircut rather than on the perimeter.
Interior guideline
Effect achieved by cutting the hair with elevation or overdirection;the hair is cut at higher elevations,usally 90 degrees or above,which removes weight.
Layered haircut
Create movement and volume in the hair by releasing weight.
Layers
Thin,continous mark used as a guide;can be strength or curved,horizonal,vertical,or diagonal.
Line
Haircut in which the hair is cut at a 90-degrr elevation and then overdirected to maintain length and weight at the perimeter.
Long-layered haircut
Back part of the neck, the hair below the occipital bone.
Nape
Haircutting technique, a version of the point cutting,in which the tips of the shears are moved toward the hair ends rather than into them;creates a chunkier effect.
Notching
Bone that protrudes at the base of the skull.
Occipital bone
Combing a section away from its natural falling position,rather than straight out of the head,toward a guideline;used to create increasing lengths in the interior or perimeter.
Overdirection
Cutting position in which the palms of both hands are facing each other.
Palm-to-palm
Widest area of the head,usally staring at the temples an dendign at the bottom of the crown.
Parietal ridge
Line dividing the hair at the scalp,separating one section of hair from another,creating subsections.
Part/parting
Outer line of the hairstyle.
Perimeter
Rotates from a central point;also referred to as pie shape sections,used for layering and graduating.
Pivoting
Rotates from a central point;also referred to as pie shape sections,used for layering and graduating.
Point cutting
Texturizing technique in which the comb and the razor are used on the surface of the hair.
Razor-over-comb
Texturing technique similar to razor-over-comb,done with small circular motions.
Razor rotation
Also known as shear-over-comb;haircutting technique in which the hair is held in place with the comb while the tips of the shears are used to remove length.
Scissor-over-comb
To divide the hair by parting into uniform working areas for control.during haircutting,the working area of the hair.working in smaller sections gives better control.
Section
When hair contracts or lifts through the action of moisture loss or drying.
Shrinkage
Haircutting technique that removes weight and adds movement through the lengths of the blades near the pivot is used.
Slicing
Method of cutting or layering the hair in which the fingers and shears glide along the edge of the hair to remove length.
Side cutting
Guideline that does not move.
Stationary guideline
Smaller sections within a larger section of the hair,used eto maintain control of the hair while cutting.
Subsections
Haircutting effect in which there is an even blend from very short at the hairline to longer lengths as you move up the head;to taper is to narrow progressively at one end.
Taper
Amount of pressure applied when combing and holding a section,creaateed by stretching or pulling the section.
Tension
Haircutting technique designed to remove excess bulk without shortenin the length;changing the appearance or behavior of the hair through specific haircutting techniques used shears,thinning shears,or a razor.
Texturizing
Also known as movable guideline;giudeline that moves as the haircuttig progresses,used often when creating layers or graduation.
Traveling guideline
Hair is elevated to 90 degrees from the scalp and cut at the same length.
Uniform layers
Visual line in the haircut where the ends of the hair hang together.
Weight line
