What are the seven typical haircutting techniques according to the textbook?
- Sectioning
- Head Position
- Parting
- Distributing hair/Subsectioning
- Projection Angle
- Finger and Shear Position
- Guide/Design Line
-
Dividing the head into workable areas for the purpose of control is?
Sectioning
-
What is the most common type of sectioning?
4 Sections/Quadrants
-
What determines the number of sections and the type of sectioning?
the type of haircut created.
-
What is the area below the occipital?
Nape
-
What is the area above the occipital?
Crown
-
What is the highest point of the head?
Apex
-
What is the front area of the interior; bang area?
Fringe
-
What is the area all around the hairline?
Perimeter
-
What are the three most common head positions used when cutting?
-
What head position will create and slight under-bevel, slightly graduated effect?
Forward
-
What head position will achieve the most natural line with no graduation?
Upright
-
Lines that subdivide sections of hair in order to separate, distribute and control hair while cutting are called?
Partings
-
What is the typical orientation of the parting to the design line?
Parallel
-
What are the most common partings?
- Horizontal
- Vertical
- Diagonal Back
- Diagonal Forward
- Concave
- Convex
-
The direction hair is combed in relation to the parting is called?
Distribution
-
Overdirection, hair is combed out of it's natural distribution is called?
Shifted Distribution
-
Hair is distributed vertically from the head or horizontally from the head is called?
Directional Distribution
-
The direction the hair takes as it naturally falls is called?
Natural Distribution
-
Hair is combed 90 degrees from it's parting; used primarily for graduation and layers is called?
Perpendicular Distribution
-
The angle at which the hair is held in relation to the curve of the head is called?
Projection
-
What are the most common projection angles?
- 0 degrees
- 45 degrees
- 90 degrees
-
What angles create low, medium and high projection?
- 0-30 degrees: Low Projection
- 30-60 degrees: Medium Projection
- 60-90 degrees: High Projection
-
What projection creates weight/graduation?
1-89 degrees
-
What projection creates layers?
90 degrees and above
-
What does finger and shear position refer to?
the position of fingers and shears relative to the parting.
-
Which finger position creates the purest reflection of a guide line and fingers are positioned an equal distance away from the parting?
Parallel
-
Which finger position creates exaggerated length increases, blends contrasting lengths and fingers are position unequally away from the parting?
NonParallel
-
What is the artistic guideline used while cutting?
Design Line
-
Which design line is a stable guide to which all lengths are directed?
Stationary
-
Which design line is a moveable guide that consists of a small amount of previously cut hair?
Mobile/Traveling
-
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
-
What involves cutting shorter lengths within a form to reduce bulk and create support, closeness, fullness, mobility and visual texture in the haircut?
Texturizing
-
Texturizing performed between the scalp and up to 1'' away from the scalp is called? (creates fullness and expands a haircut, removes weight from base, encourages natural texture and movement)
Base Texturizing
-
Texturizing performed 1'' away from the scalp to 1'' away from the ends is called?
(creates fullness or contouring, reduces bulk and weight)
Midstrand Texturizing
-
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
-
What is it called when shears are opened and closed rythmically while moving along the hair strand?
Slithering
-
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.
-
When texturizing hair, where should it be done?
where the most bulk exists.
-
A techinique used for defining the perimeter hairline is called?
Outlining.
-
What are the three fringe variations and what is the effect/result of each?
- Solid Fringe: can frame the eyes.
- Longer Fringe: swept to side exposes forehead.
- Layered Fringe: adds texture, fullness and height.
-
Which growth pattern is prominent and forms a point at the front hairline and curves to the side?
Widows Peak
-
Which growth pattern is strong and moves to the right or left; usually in front hairline or crown?
Cowlick
-
Which growth pattern has a strong circular growth direction on either side of the nape or in the crown?
Whorl
-
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.
-
Why are consultations important to any service?
Sets the foundation for the service and prevents misunderstandings.
