| Occipital Bone | Bone that pretrudes at the base of the skull.` |
| Apex | Highest point on top of the head. |
| Four Corners | Signals a change in the head shape from flat to round. |

| Descirbe how to locate "Top" | All hair above the parietal ridge |
| Descirbe how to locate "Front" | From apex to the back of the ear; all hair that falls forward |
| Descirbe how to locate "Sides" | Hair from the back of the ear forward below the parietal ridge |
| Descirbe how to locate "Crown" | Area between the apex an the back of the parietal ridge |

| What are the two basic lines used in haircutting? | Straight & Curved |
| What are the three types of straight lines? | Horizontal, Vertical, Diagonal |
| What is the basic purpose of a Horizontal Line? | To build weight with low or no elevation. |
| What is the basic purpose of a Vertical Line? | to remove weight, used in a graduated or layered cut |
| What is the basic purpose of a Diagonal Line? | to create fullness and blend layers |
| What is Elevation? | The angle or degree at which a subsection of hair is held from head when cutting. |
| What does Elevation create in haircutting? | creates a graduation or layer. |
| What are the four most common elevations used in haircutting? | 0 degrees, 45 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees. |
| What is the cutting line? | The angle at which the fingers are held when cutting the line that creates the shape |
| What are the four ways to describe cutting line? | Horizontal, Vertical, diagonal, by using degrees |
| What is a guideline? | Section of hair that determines length |
| What are the two locations we can have guidelines? | Perimeter or interior |
| Describe a Stationary Guideline. (one of two guidelines)* | all sections recombed to stationary guideline (it does not move) |
| Describe a Travelling Guideline. (one of two guidelines)* | moves as the haircut progresses |
| What is over-direction compared to elevation? | Hair is combed away from its natural falling position, instead of out from the head (elevation) |
| What type of guideline is used in over-direction? | Stationary Guideline |
| What are the 10 haircutting tools? | Haircutting shears Texturizing shears Razor Clippers Trimmers Sectioning clip wide tooth comb tail comb barber comb styling or cutting comb |
| Hair cutting shears? | cut blunt straight lines |
| Texturizing Shears? | remove bulk from the hair |

| Clippers? | creating short haircuts, tapers, fades, flat tops |
| Trimmers? | smaller version of clippers used to remove excess/unwanted hair at necklines and around the ears. |
| Sectioning Clips? | jaw or duckbill. can be made of metal or plastic |
| Wide tooth comb | used for detangling |
| Tail comb | used to section/subsection hair |

| Styling/Cutting Comb | used for most hair cutting procedures; fine teeth one end, wider teeth at the other |
| What is posture? | How you hold your body when cutting hair. |
| What are three things you can do to maintain correct body position? | -Position the client -Centre your weight -Work infront of your section |
| What are the three hand positions for cutting different angles? | -Over your fingers -Below the fingers -Palm-To-Palm |
| Over your fingers? | used when cutting uniform or increasing layers |
| Below the fingers? | used when cutting blunt (no elevation) or heavier graduations (low elevation) |
| Palm-To-Palm? | best way to maintain control when elevating or overdirecting |
| Describe the look of a blunt cut. Know the elevation used. | A blunt cut is one length all around with no elevation or overdirection. 0 degrees |
| Describe the look of a graduated cut. Know the elevation used. | A graduated cut has a graduated/wedge shape with a visual build up of weight and the ends appear stacked. low or medium elevation (45 degrees) |
| Describe the look of a Uniform layered cut. Know the elevation used. | A unifrom layered cut has a soft rounded shape with no visual build up of weight. ALL hair is elevated 90 degrees, straight out from the head. |
| Describe the look of a Long layered cut. Know the elevation used. | A long layered cut has shorter layers at the top increasing longer layers towards the perimeter with a stationary guideline at the apex. all hair is elevation to 180 degrees. |
| What are important considerations to discuss with a client during a haircutting consultation? | What they want, face shape, lifestyle, hair density, textue , wave patters. |
