🗑
graduation   elevation occurs when a section is lifted above 0 degrees  
🗑
growth pattern   direction in which the hair grows from the scalp; also referred to as natural fall or natural falling position  
🗑
guideline   section of hair, located either at the perimeter or the interior of the cut, that determines the length the hair will be cut; also referred to as a guide; usually the first section that is cut to create a shape  
🗑
hairline   hair that grows at the outermost perimater alson the face, around the ears, and on the neck

interior   inner or internal part  
🗑
interior guideline   guideline that is inside the haircut rather than on the perimeter
