Vocab Flashcards
Mastoid process
Divide front and back of head
Occipital bone
Affects how the client
Profile will look and affects what technique to use
Over direction
Directing hair away from its natural fall
Elevation
Lifting hair away from natural fall
Tension
Amount of stress put on hair
Three types of tension
Fingers, comb, on skin
Fingers, comb, on skin are all tensions… How much?
Fingers most
Through the comb moderate
On the skin least
Square
Can start anywhere
Cancel out roundness
Builds corners
Triangle
Shorter in back
Longer in front
Start in back
Round
Short in front
Long in back
Start in front
Vertical section
Perpendicular to floor
Removes weight
Horizontal section
Parallel to floor builds weight
Diagonal
Gives direction
Diffuser
80% dry
Natural texture
Leafing
80% mid shaft
Wrapping
Root 50%
Beveling
100% dry ends
layers
the removal of weight, created by holding the hair out from the head at a 90* angle or higher. This technique controls movement and texture of the hair
crosschecking
used to check a haircut for balance and accuracy
texturizing
which is sometimes referred to as thinning, involves cutting shorter lengths within the form to reduce bulk and create support, closeness, fullness, mobility and visual texture in the hair cut without shorting the length or removing weight
natural fal
natural position hair assumes due to gravity
concave lines
curve inward, like the inside of a sphere
convex lines
curve outward, like the outside of a sphere
Apex
Highest point on top of head
Found using comb flat on the head
Elevation
Poll or left the hair away from the natural
Over direction
Direct the hair away from its natural fall
Three types of sections
Horizontal vertical diagonal
Horizontal
Build weight, parallel to floor
Vertical
Perpendicular to floor remove the wait
Diagonal
Gives direction
Tension
Amount of stress put on The hair
Three types of tension
Through the fingers through the comb on the skin
Tension through the fingers
Most tension is used
Tension used through the comb
Through the comb
Tension used on the skin
The least amount of tension used
Technique
Line graduation layers
Line
0°, all the hair is cut to the same plane, heaviest technic
No elevation know over direction
Any amount of tension can be used
Graduation
The build up of weight shorter on the bottom gradually gaining length on top
Fills in gaps
Palm to palm
Never cut on hair longer than shoulderlength
Low medium graduation
Falls at or below occipital bone
46-89
Heavyweight line
Medium to high graduation
Falls at or above the ocipital bone 46° to 89° Less aggressive Higher lighter and softer shorts on bottom long on top Visible wait line Feminine Fills in and crown temple eyes Cut palm to palm
Shape
Every technique has one
Triangle
Shorter in the back longer in the front Shorter hair will always push long hair Pushes here toward face closing it in Always start in back Backward over direction
Square
Even equal length Starts anywhere Builds corners Uses both forward and backward over direction Cancels out roundness
Round
Shorter in front longer and back Always start in front Pushes her away from face Forward over direction Opens up the face
Two types of guides
Traveling and stationary
Traveling guide
Moving guide
Less extreme
Stationary guide
Does not move
More Extreme
Layers
Removal of weight create texture and movement 90° and above
Concave layers
Shorter internally to longer extern only depending on finger angle use Removes the most weight Anti-head shape A form of layer Structure and movement Cut short to long Adds volume
Convex layers
90° No beginning No end Follows head shape Soft feminine look Only used for perfect head shape
Level layers
The removal of weight created by holding the hair out from a 90* angle or above
Creates texture and movement
Cancels out roundness of the headshape
Flat plan or wall form from top to bottom
even consistent layers
Creates skinny classic look
fills in gaaps fattens or slims wide areas
uses both backward and forward overdirection
Occipital bone
Changes look of profile
Mastoid process
Divides the front and back of the head
Found behind the ears going up to the apex
Frame mapping
Is the plan of the haircut should be filled out before every haircut
