Tigi Terminology Flashcards
the lowest point and foundation to the haircut
baseline
follows the natural hairline around the curve of the head determines outside shale of haircut
perimeter
anything within the perimeter line or baseline
interior
the sera in the front hairline that grows back the farthest
recession
the angle in which the hair is combed or directed from the scalp on any given line/section
distribution
vertical section running from forehead to nape that creates the profile guide for the cut
profile line
perpendicular to the horizon
vertical
parallel to the horizon
horizontal
two lines running in the same direction
parallel
shorter length in the back, working to longer in front
diagonal toward
shorted length in front, working longer in back
diagonal back
dividing section running around the curve of the head
radial
anything other than natural fall of perpendicular
over directed
toward the face
over directed foward
away from the face
over directed back
T to the part on any given line/section
perpendicular
hair combed to gravity
natural fall
45° or 90° our from the head
elevation
designing the perimeter line in the shape of a curve
c-curvature
a fast way of eliminating weigh by pulling all the hair up and out to the same level
block graduation
working a central guide of layering through the center of the head and over directing remaining sections to this point
natural inversion
cutting all of the hair to the same level with zero elevation
one length cutting
a slow or immediate buildup of weight
graduation
removal of weight
layering
scissors are used like a razor to blend a shorter area go longer without removing too much weight
slide cutting
the ends of the hair are texturized by cutting down into the ends
pointing
working shorter pieces of hair into existing shape by cutting in a brick work fashion
brick cutting
texturizing the ends of the hair by using the scissors as a razor eliminating weight without length
slicing
also known as “personalizing” involves detailing your perimeter shape by picking the hair up and cutting up into the line, usually used on dry hair
perimeter shaping
works on the surface of the hair in freehand manner. like slicing, it removes weight without length to create a textured surface
surface cutting ( deep point cutting)
diluting weight on the perimeter edge via elevation
filtering
