| finger waving | the process of shaping and directing the hair into a pattern of "S"-shaped waves through the use of the fingers, combs, and waving lotion |
| fingers-and-shear | technique used to cut hair by holding the hair into a position to be cut |
| freehand clipper cutting | generally interpreted to mean that guards are not used in the cutting process |
| freehand slicing | method of removing bulk from a hair section with the shears |
| guide | section of hair, located at either the perimetter or the interior of the cut, that determines the length the hair will be cut; also referred to as a guideline; usually the first section that is cut to create a shape |
| hairlocking | the process that occurs when coily hair is allowed to develop in its natural state without the use of combs heat, or chemicals |
| horizontal | lines parallel to the horizon |
| layers | graduated effect achieved by cutting the hair with elevation or over-direction; the hair is cut at higher elevations, usually 90 degrees or above, which removes weight |
| outlining | finish work of a haircut with shears, trimmers, or razor |
| over-direction | combing a section away from its natural falling position, rather than straight out from the head, toward a guideline; used to create increasing lenghts in the interior or perimeter |

| parting | a line dividing the hair of the scalp that separates one section of hair from another or creates subsections; a subsection from a larger section of hair |
| projection | angle or elevation that hair is held from head for cutting |
| razor-over-comb | texturizing technique in which the comb and the razor are used on the surface of the hair |
| razor rotation | texturizing technique similar to razor-over-comb, done with small circular motions |
| reference points | points on the head that mark where the surface of the head changes or the behavior of the hair changes, such as ears, jaw line, occipital bone, apex, etc.; used to establish design lines that are proportionate |
| rolling the comb out | a method used to put the hair into position for cutting by combing into the hair with the teeth of the comb in an upward direction |
| shear-over-comb | haircutting technique in which the hair is held in place iwth the comb while the shears are used to remove the lenths |
| shear-point tapering | haircutting technique used to thin out difficult areas in the haircut, such as dips and hollows |

| vertical | lines that are straight up and down |
| weight line | a visual "line" in the haircut, where the ends of the hair hang together; the line of maximum length within the weight area; heaviest perimeter area of a 0-degree (one-length) or 45-degree (graduated) cut |
