haircuttng
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| angle | space between two lines or surfaces that intersect at a given point |
| apex | highest point on the top of the head |
| beveling | haircutting technique using diagonal lines by cutting hair ends with a slight increase or decrease in length |
| blunt haircut | also known as a one-length haircut; haircut in which all the hair comes to one hanging level, forming a weight line or area; hair is cut with no elevation or overdirection |
| carving | haircutting technique done by placing the still blade into the hair and resting it on the scalp, and then moving the shears through the hair while opening and partially closing the shears |
| cast | methods of manufacturing shears; metal-forming process whereby molten steel is poured into a mold and, once the metal is cooled, takes on the shape of the mold |
| clipper-over-comb | haircutting technique similar to scissor-over-comb, except that the clippers move side to side across the comb rather than top to bottom |
| cross-checking | parting the haircut in the opposite way from which you cut it in order to check for precision of the line shape |
| crown | area of the head between the apex and the back of the parietal ridge |
| cutting line | angle at which the fingers are held when cutting, and, ultimately, the line that is cut; also known as finger angle, finger position or cutting angle |
| distribution | where and how hair is moved over the head |
| elevation | also known as projection or lifting; angle degree at which a subsection of hair is held, or lifted, from the head when cutting |
| forged | process of working metal to a finished shape by hammering or pressing |
| four corners | points on the head that signal a change in the shape of the head, from flat to round or vice versa |
| free-hand notching | haircutting technique in which pieces of hair are snipped out at random intervals |
| free-hand slicing | haircutting technique used to release weight from the subsection, allowing the hair to move more freely |
| graduated haircut | graduated shape or wedge; an effect or haircut that results from cutting the hair with tension, low to medium elevation, or overdirection |
| graduation | elevation occurs when a section is lifted above 0 degrees |
| growth pattern | direction in which the hair grows from the scalp; also refferred to as natural fall or natural falling position |
| guideline | also known as guide; section of hair, located either at the perimeter or the interior of the cut, that determines the length the hair will be cut. |
| hairline | hair that grows at the outermost perimeter along the face, around the ears, and on the neck |
| head form | also known as head shape; shape of the head, which greatly affects the way the hair falls and behaves |
| interior | inner or internal part |
| interior guideline | guideline that is inside the haircut rather than on the perimeter |
| layered haircut | graduated effect achieved by cutting the hair with elevation and overdirection; the hair is cut at higher elevations, usually 90 degrees or above, which removes weight |
| layers | create movement and volume in the hair by releasing weight |
| line | thin continuous mark used as a guide; can be straight or curved, horizontal, vertical, or diagonal |
| long-layered haircut | haircut in which the hair is cut at a 180 degree-angle; the resulting shape has shorter layers at the top and increasingly longer layers towards the perimeter |
| nape | back part of the neck; the hair below the occipital bone |
| notching | hair cutting technique, a version of point cutting, in which the tips of the scissors are moved toward the hair ends rather than into them; creates chunkier effects |
| occipital bone | bone that protrudes at the base of the skull |
| overdirection | combing a section away from its natural falling position, rather than straight out from the head, toward the guideline; used to create increasing lengths int the interior or perimeter |
| palm-to-palm | cutting position in which the plams of both hands are facing each other |
| parietal ridge | widest area of the head, usually starting at the temples and ending at the bottom of the crown |
| part/parting | line dividing the hair at the scalp, separating one section of hair from another, creating subsections |
| perimeter | outer line of a hair style |
