Layer Shapes
Explain Round Layers
Gives even layer lengths, hair combed at 90 degrees
4 types of lines and sections
horizontal, vertical, diagonal forward, diagonal back
what are the 3 elevations options?
What are the 4 balance points on the head?
Main Balance, True Flat( Occipital bone) Round, 3 Inch
Define Density
Number of individual hair strand per 1 square inch on scalp.
Layers that are shorter length at main balance and longer at the flat are considered to be what?
Oval Layers
What does Over direction Achieve?
length
what effect does the 3 elevations give?
0- adds weight , 45- stalking effect, 90- below 90 builds weight, above 90 removes weight
"Parts" are also known as what?
Lines and sections
What is most important when cutting a fringe
no tension/ release tension
Define extended oval
Short at main balance and longer at the flat, Long hair with layers
the angles the hair is combed/directed out from the scalp.
"Cut" is the angle which the fingers are held when cutting, it is also called what?
Finger angle, finger position , cutting position
Profile section is also known as
Center Part
Removing excess bulk without shortening length is known as what?
Known as Texturizing
Hair that is longer at main balance and shorter at the occipital with a short graduation is considered to be what kind of layer?
Reverse Round
list four types of distribution.
over directed forward, over directed backward, perpendicular ( t to the part), Natural fall
5 options for graduations and what they give
0- firm line , 45 stalking effect, 90 lays flat, 671/2 hugs the neck, block grad- gives wispiness
This section you will star at main balance and part straight down on each sides to where the ear joins the head, what is it called?
Radial
This is located at the front hairline where the hair grows back the farthest
Recession area
Define Layer Shapes and what are the 4 layer shapes
All cutting done within the perimeter or baseline and creates layers.
Round, Reverse Round, Oval, Extended Oval
Over directing is used to create increasing lengths where?
Interior or perimeter
List the 7 steps to a haircut in order
Layer Length, Layer Shape, Designline , graduation/elevation, Blend, sides, fringe
nearly every head measures how many inches from the top of the ear to the center back. It is divided into two sections. And is known as what?
6 inches, known as the 3 inch
What are you are looking for when doing a hair analysis before a haircut? ( 6 of them)
density, texture, porosity, elasticity, wave pattern, hairlines and growth patterns
