  32. What is used to check a haircut for balance and accuracy by using the opposite parting pattern that was used to cut the hair?
    Crosschecking
  33. What involves cutting shorter lengths within a form to reduce bulk and create support, closeness, fullness, mobility and visual texture in the haircut?
    Texturizing

    (creates fullness or contouring, reduces bulk and weight)
    Midstrand Texturizing
  36. Texturizing performed at the ends or last 1'' of hair is called?
    (reduces bulk and weight, allows mobility, softens ends and helps blend weight lines)
    End Texturizing
  37. What is it called when shears are opened and closed rythmically while moving along the hair strand?
    Slithering
  38. Why is it important to consider the hair's natural texture when texturizing?
    so you know what you can and can't do to each type of hair texture.
  39. When texturizing hair, where should it be done?

    Cowlick
  44. Which growth pattern has a strong circular growth direction on either side of the nape or in the crown?
    Whorl
  45. Ways to handle each growth pattern so the hair doesn't stick up?
    • Widows Peak: leave fringe longer.
    • Cowlick: cut hair in same direction is grows and falls, allow additional length.
    • Whorl: either allow additional length so hair lays flat or cut hair very close to the scalp.
  46. Why are consultations important to any service?
    Sets the foundation for the service and prevents misunderstandings.
