angle
|
the space between two lines or surfaces that intersect at a given point; in haircutting, the hair is held away from the head to create an angle of elevation
|
|
arching technique
|
method used to cut around the ears and down the sides of the neck
|
|
blow-dry styling
|
one-step operation for drying and styling the hair
|
|
clipper-over-comb
|
cutting over a comb with the clippers
|
|
crest
|
widest area of the head, also known as the parietal ridge, temporal region, hatband, or horseshoe
|
|
cutting above the fingers
|
method of holding the hair section between the fingers so that cutting can be performed on the outside of the fingers; used with horizontal or vertical 90-degree projections of hair
|
|
cutting below the fingers
|
method of holding the hair secion between the fingers so that cutting can be performed on the inside of the fingers; used in 0- and 45-degree elevation cutting
|
|
design line
|
usually the perimeter line of the haircut
|
|
diagonal
|
lines positioned between horizontal and vertical lines
|
|
elevation
|
angle or degree at which a subsection of hair is held, or elevated, from the head when cutting; also referred to as projection
|
|
envisioning
|
the process of visualizing a procedure or finished haircut style
|
|
facial shape
|
oval, round, inverted triangular, square, oblong, diamond, and pear-shaped
|
|
finger waving
|
the process of shaping and directing the hair into a pattern of "S"-shaped waves through the use of the fingers, combs, and waving lotion
|
|
fingers-and-shear
|
technique used to cut hair by holding the hair into a position to be cut
|
|
freehand clipper cutting
|
generally interpreted to mean that guards are not used in the cutting process
|
|
freehand slicing
|
method of removing bulk from a hair section with the shears
|
|
guide
|
section of hair, located at either the perimeter or the interior of the cut, that determines the length the hair will be cut; also referred to as a guideline; usually the first section that is cut to create a shape
|
|
hairlocking
|
the process that occurs when coily hair is allowed to develop in its natural state without the use of combs, heat, or chemicals
|
|
horizontal
|
lines parallel to the horizon
|
|
layers
|
graduated effect achieved by cutting the hair with elevation or over-direction; the hair is cut at higher elevations, usually 90 degrees or above, which removes weight
|
|
outlining
|
finish work of a haircut with shears, trimmers, or razor
|
|
over-direction
|
combing a section away from its natural falling position, rather than straight out from the head; toward a guideline; used to create increasing lengths in the interior or perimeter
|
|
parietal ridge
|
widest area of the head, also known as the crest, hatband, horseshoe, or temporal region
|
|
parting
|
a line dividing the hair of the scalp that separates on section of hair from another or creates subsections; a subsection from a larger section of hair
|
|
projection
|
angle or elevation that hair is held from head for cutting
|
|
razor-over-comb
|
texturizing technique in which the comb and the razor are used on the surface of the hair
|
|
razor rotation
|
texturizing technique similar to razor-over-comb, done with a small circular motions
|
|
reference points
|
points on the head that mark where the surface of the head changes or the behavior of the hair changes, such as ears, jaw line, occipital bone, apex, etc.; used to establish design lines that are proportionate
|
|
rolling the comb out
|
a method used to put the hair into position for cutting by combing into the hair with the teeth of the comb in an upward direction
|
|
shear-over-comb
|
haircutting technique in which the hair is held in place with the comb while the shears are used to remove the lengths
|
|
shear-point tapering
|
haircutting technique used to thin out difficult areas in the haircut, such as dips and hollows
|
|
stationary guide
|
guideline that does not move, but all other hair is brought to it for cutting
|
|
tapered
|
haircuts 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
|
|
tension
|
amount of pressure applied when combing and holding a section, created by stretching or pulling the section
|
|
texturizing
|
removing excess bulk without shortening the length; changing the appearance or behavior of hair, through specific haircutting techniques, using shears, thinning shears, clippers, or a razor
|
|
thinning
|
removing bulk from the hair
|
|
traveling guide
|
guideline that moves as the haircutting progresses, used when creating layers or graduation; also referred to as moving or movable guidelines
|
|
vertical
|
lines that are straight up and down
|
|
weight line
|
a visual "line" in the haircut, where the ends of the hair hand together; the line of maximum length within the weight area; heaviest perimeter area of a 0-degree (one-length) or 45-degree (graduated) cut
