| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| space between to lines of surfaces that intersect at a given point | angle |
| highest point on the top of the head | apex |
| haircutting technique using diagonal lines by cutting hair ends with a light increase o decrease in length | beveling |
| also known as a on-length-haircut. Hair is cut with not elevation or overdirection, all hair is brought to its natural hanging level. | blunt haircut |
| haircutting technique done by placing the still blade into the hair, resting it on the scalp, and then moving the shears through the hair while opening and partially closing the shears. | carving |
| Method of manufacturing shears; a metal forming process whereby molten steel is poured into a mold and, once the metal is cooled, takes on the shape of the mold. | cast |
| haircutting technique similar to scissor-over-comb, except that the clippers move side to side across the comb rather than bottom to top. | clipper-over-comb |
| parting the haircut in the opposite way from which your cut it in order to check for precision of line and shape. | cross-checking |
| area of the head between the apex and the back of the parietal ridge | crown |
| Angle at which the fingers are held when cutting the hair. Can also be called finger angle, finger position, cutting position ore cutting angle | cutting line |
| a type of diagonal line that creates movement away from the face | diagonal back |
| a type of diagonal line that creates movement toward the face | diagonal forward |
| where and how hair is moved over the head | distribution |
| also called slithering, process of thinning the hair to graduated length with shears, Cutting the hair with a sliding movement of the shears while keeping the blades partially opened | effiliating |
| also call projection or lifting, the degree at which a subsection of hair is held, ore lifted, from the head when cutting. | elevation |
| Process of working metal to a finished shape by hammering or pressing | forged |
| Points on the head that signal a change in the shape of the head, from flat to round and vice versa. | four corners |
| Haircutting technique in which pieces of hair are snipped out at random intervals | free-hand notching |
| haircutting technique used to release weight from the subsection, allowing the hair to move more freely. | free-hand slicing |
| slow or immediate buildup of weight; an effect or haircut that results from cutting the hair with tension, low to medium elevation, or overdirection. | graduated haircut |
| Elevation that occurs when a section is lifted above 0 degrees | graduation |
| direction in which the hair grows from the scalp; also referred to as the natural fall or natural falling position | growth pattern |
| also called guide, section of hair, located either at the perimeter ore the interior of the cut, which determines the length the hair will be cut. Usually the first section that is cut to create a shape. | guideline |
| Hair that grows at the outermost perimeter along the face, arounds the ears, and on the neck. | hairline |
| Also know as head shape; the shape of the heat, which greatly affects the way the hair falls and behaves. | head form |
| inner or internal part | interior |
| guideline that is inside the haircut rather than on the perimeter | interior guideline |
| effect achieved by cutting the hair with elevation or overdirection; the hair is cut at higher elevations, usually 90 degrees or above, which removes weight | layered haircut |
| Create movement and volume in the hair by releasing weight | layers |
| thin continuous mark used as a guide; can be straight or curved, horizontal, vertical, or diagonal | lines |
| haircut that is cut at a 90 degree elevation and then overdirected to maintain length and weight in the perimeter | long layered haircut |
| back part of the neck; hair beneath the occipital bone | nape |
| haircutting technique, a version of point cutting, in which the tips of the shears are moved toward the hair ends rather than into them; creates a chunkier effect | notching |
| bone that protrudes at the base of the skull | occipital bone |
| combing a section away from it natural falling position, toward a guideline; used to create increasing length in the interior or perimeter. | overdirection |
| cutting position where the palms of both hands are facing each other | palm to palm |
| widest area of the head, usually starting at the temples and ending at the bottom of the crown. | parietal ridge |
| Line dividing the hair at the scalp, separating one section of hair from another. creating subsections | part/partings |
| outer line of a hairstyle or haircut | perimeter |
| rotates from a central point; can be referred to as pie shape sections, used for layering and graduating | pivoting |
| Haircutting technique in which the tips of the shears are used to cut points into the ends of the hair. | pointcutting |
| texturizing technique where the razor and the comb are used on the surface of the hair | razor-over-comb |
| texturizing technique similar to razor-over-comb, done with small circular motions | razor rotation |
| points on the head that mark where the surface of the head changes or the behavior of the hair changes, such as ears, jawline, occipital bone, apex, and etc., used to establish design lines that are proportionate | reference point |
| can be called shear-over-comb; haircutting technique in which the hair is held in place with the comb while the tips of the shears are used to remove length | scissor-over-comb |
| To divide the hair by parting into uniform working areas for control | section |
| when hair contracts of lift through the action of moisture loss or drying. | shrinkage |
| Haircutting technique that removes weight and adds movement through the lengths of the hair; the shears are not completely closed, and only the portion of the blades near the pivot is used | slicing |
| method of cutting or layering the hair in which the fingers and shears glide along the edge of the hair to remove length | slide cutting |
| Guideline that doesn't move | stationary guidelines |
| smaller sections within a larger section of hair, used to maintain control of the hair while cutting | subsections |
| haircutting effect 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 on end | taper |
| amount of pressure applied when combing and holding a section, created by stretching or pulling the section | tension |
| haircutting 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 | texturizing |
| also called a moveable guideline that moves as the haircutting progresses, used often when creating layers or graduation. | traveling guideline |
| hair is elevated to 90 degrees from the scalp and cut at the same length | uniform layers |
| visual line in the haircut where the ends of the hair hang together | weight line |
