version of point cutting in which the tips of the scissors are moved toward the hair ends rather than into them; creates a chunkier effect

verify (figures or information) by using an alternative source or method

hair cutting method that takes away excessive hair volume without changing the design of the cut encouraged for thick, medium hair.

cutting position in which the palms of both hands are facing each other

located either at the perimeter or the interior of the cut , that determines the length the hair will be cut; usually the first section that is cut to create a shape

known as projection or lifting, angles or degree at which a subsection of hair is held, or lifted, from the head when cutting

visual line in the haircut, were the ends of the hair hang together

angle at which the fingers are held when cutting,and, ultimately, the line that is cut; also known as finger angle, finger position, cutting position, or cutting angle

known as effilating; process of thinning the hair graduated lengths with shears; cutting the hair with a sliding movement of the shears while keeping the blades open

hair cutting effect in which there is an even blend from very short at the hairline to longer lengths you move up the head; to taper is to narrow progressively at one end

application of pressure applied while combing and holding the hair prior to cutting

Create movement and volume in the hair by releasing weight.

Technique done by placing the still blade into the hair and resting it on the scalp, then moving the shears through the hair while opening and partially closing the shears.

hair cutting technique similar to scissor- over- comb, except that the clippers move side to side across the comb rather than bottom to top

Technique designed to remove excess bulk without shortening the length. Changing the appearance or behavior of the hair through specific haircutting techniques using shears, thinning shears, or a razor.

Thin continuous mark used as a guide.

AKA movable guideline. Guideline that moves as the haircutting progresses.

To divide the hair by parting into uniform working areas for control.

Space between two lines or surfaces that intersect at a given point.

Combing a section away from its natural falling position. Used to create increasing lengths in the interior or perimeter.

Where and how hair is moved over the head

Elevation occurs when a section is loved above 0 degrees.
