Haircutting Objectives
These three things will define the technique and geometric shape
What is Height, Width, and Depth
This technique maintains maximum density within the height of the haircut
What is One Length
This shape is shorter in the back and longer in the front
What is Triangular
The degree the hair is lifted from it’s natural position
What is Elevation
Each of the parts into which a segment or a panel is divided; what is being held to cut
What is a Section
This in a haircut represents the overall length
What is Depth
This technique builds weight away from the head shape
What is Graduation
This shape is equally balanced from front to back
What is Square
This is the distance of the hair from the scalp to the ends
What is Length
The degree of consistency measured by the amount of hairs per square inch
What is Density
This is the vertical dimension of length and weight, and is most often controlled by elevation
What is Height
This technique removes weight within the height of the hair cut
What is Layers
This shape is shortest in the front and longest in the back
What is Round
This is moving the hair backward or forward away from its natural falling position
What is Over Direction
This is based on the diameter of an individual hair strand
What is Texture
This is the horizontal dimension of length and weight distribution from front to back, and it is most often controlled by using over direction and the cutting line
What is Width
This layering technique is cut following the head shape at 90°
What is Convex Layers
The horizontal distribution of weight within a haircut using over direction or cutting line
What is Geometric Shape
The vertical distribution of weight within a haircut using elevation
What is Technique
This is the movement within the individual strand
What is Formation
This is a measurement of space; the magnitude of an object in a particular direction
What is Dimension
This layering technique is cut with an elevation that is higher than 90°
What is Concave Layers
This is a system of sectioning to ensure accurate and consistent end results
What is Section Angle Accuracy
The outline of a closed figure; the outer boundary of an enclosed area
What is Perimeter
This is properly achieved when cutting up to the second knuckle, or when controlling the section in comb
What is Tension
