Four corners   points on the head that signal a change in the shape of the head, from flat to round or vice versa  
🗑
Top   By locating the parietal ridge, you can find the hair that grows on the top of the head. This hair lies on the head shape. Hair that grows below the parietal ridge, or crest, hangs because of gravity.  
🗑
Front   By making a parting, draw a line from the apex to the back of the ear, you can separate the hair that naturally falls in front of the ear from the hair behind the ear.  
🗑
sides   Includes all hair from the back of the ear forward, below the parietal ridge  
🗑
nape   At the back part of the neck and consists of the hair below the occipital Bone.

🗑
lines   A thin continuous mark used as a guide.

🗑
vertical   Usually describe in terms of up and down and are perpendicular to the floor; they are the opposite of horizontal. Remove weight to create graduated or layered haircuts and are used with higher elevation.  
🗑
diagonal   Are between horizontal and vertical. They have a slanting or sloping direction. Used to create fullness in a haircut and to blend long layers into short layers.  
🗑
sections   The hair is parted into uniform working areas.  
🗑

radial section   section that is taken from ear to ear and divides the head from front to back, starting behind the apex in the crow  
🗑
Angle   space between two lines or surfaces that intersect at a given point  
🗑
elevation   The angle or degree at which a subsection of hair is held, or elevated, from the head when cutting.  
🗑
graduation   Elevation occurs when a section is lifted above 0 degrees.  
🗑
high elevation   builds weight

🗑
interior guide   inner or internal line of a haircut  
🗑
perimeter (outer) guide   outer line of a haircut

🗑
cutting line   Moves as the haircut progresses. Used when creating layered or graduated haircuts. The guideline travels with you as you work through the haircut.  
🗑
overdirection   Occurs when you comb the hair away from its natural falling position, rather than straight out from the head. Mostly used in graduated and layered haircuts, and where you want to create a length increase in the design.

🗑
growth pattern   The direction in which the hair grows from the scalp.
