clipper-over-comb haircutting technique similar to scissor-over-comb, except that the clippers move side to side across the comb rather than bottom to top
cross-checking partin the haircut in the opposite way form which you cut it, to check for precision of line and shape
crown area of the head between the apex and 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, cutting position, cutting angle
distribution where and how hair is moved over the head
elevation angle or degree at which a subsection of hair is held, or lifted, from the dead when cuttin; also referred to as projectioin or lifting
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 notching technique in which pieces of hair are snipped out at random intervals
free-hand slicing 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 over direction
graduation elevation occurs when a section is lifted above 0 degrees
growth pattern direction in which the hair grows from the scalp; also referred to as natural fall or natural falling position
guideline section of hair, located either at the perimeter or the interior of the cut, that determines the length the hair will be cut; also referred to as a guide; usually the first section that is cut to create a shape

head form shape of the head, which greatly affects the way the hair falls and behaves; also called head shape
interior inner or internal part

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-layerd 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 toward the perimeter
nape back part of the neck; the hair below the occipital bone

sections to divide the hair by partin into uniform workin areas for control
scissor-over-comb haircutting technique in which the hair is held in place with the comb while the tips of the scissors are used to remove length
slicing technique that removes bulk and adds movement through the lengths of the hair; the shearsare not closed, and only the portion of the blades near the pivot is used
slide cutting method of cutting or thinning the hair in which the fingers and shears glide along the edge of the hair to remove length
slithering (effilating) process of thinning the hair to graduated lengths with shears, cutting the hair with a sliding movement of the shears while keeping the blades partially opened; also called effilating
stationary guideline guideling that does not move
subsections smaller sections within a larger section of hair, used to maintain control of the hair while cutting
tapers 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 one end
tension amount of pressure applied when combing and holding a section created by stretching or pulling the section
texturizing removing excess bulk without shortening the length; changing the appearance or behavior of the hair through specific haircuttin techniques, using shears, thinning shears, or a razor
traveling guideline guideline that moves as the haircuttin progresses, used often when creating layers or graduation
uniform layers hair is elecated to 90 degrees from teh scalp and cut at the same length
weight line visual "line" in the haircut, where the ends of hte hair hang together
