Changing shape, texture and, structure of the hair is known as:
haircutting
What is texture?
Surface appearance
a smooth texture is called
unactivated
The five elements of hair design are
line, form, space, texture, and color
Apex
highest point of the head
one-length haircut
Haircut in which all the hair comes to one hanging level, forming a weight line or area; hair is cut with no elevation or over direction
Blunt Haircut, 0, degree, solid form
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 opposite way from which you cut it in order to check for precision of line and shape.
Cross-Checking
Area of the head between the apex and back of the parietal ridge.
Crown
The first Angle at which the fingers are held when cutting, and ultimately the line that is cut;
Cutting Line, guideline, designline
Where and how hair is moved over the head
Distribution
projection or lifting; angle or degree at which a subsection of hair is held, or 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 or vice versa.
4 corners, rounds
Haircutting technique in which pieces of hair are snipped out at random intervals.
free- hand notching, texturizing
45 degree, wedge; an effect or haircut that results from cutting the hair with tension, low to medium elevation, or overdirect.
Graduated haircut
Elevation occurs when a section is lifted above 0 degrees.
Gaduation
Direction in which the hair grows from the scalp;
Growth pattern
The first section that is cut to create a shape.
Guideline
Hair that grows at the outermost perimeter along the face, around the ears, and on the neck.
Hairline
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
Layers
Create movement and volume in the hair by releasing weight.
Haircut in which the hair is cut at a 180-degree angle; resulting shape has shorter layers at the top and increasingly longer layers toward the perimeter.
Long-layered haircut
Back part of the neck; the hair below the occipital bone.
