Misc.
At the basic level of observation, a hair sculpture can be identified by observing the outer boundary or sillhouette known as the:
form line
Trimmer/Edger
The hair below the crest area.
Exterior
What type of design line is used to sculpt uniform lengths?
mobile
A constant, stable guide to which all lengths are directed.
Stationary Design Line
What type of distribution results in a 90° angle from its base parting?
perpendicular
Cutting tool used to create a clean, blunt edge.
Shears
Which of the following natural growth patterns form from a point at the front hairline and curve to one side?
widow's peak
The angle at which the hair is held in relation to the curve of the head prior to sculpting.
Projection/Elevation
When sculpting graduated texture from horizontal and diagonal partings, natural distribution must be combined with:
projection
Infection control procedures including sweeping and disposing of hair clippings should be done prior to performing this service.
Air Forming Service
Thumb Grip
The widest area of the head.
Crest Area
Dividing the hair into workable areas for control.
Sectioning
Lines that curve inward, like the inside of a sphere.
Concave
Two types of finger and shear positions used while cutting.
Parallel & Nonparallel
Shears that consist of one straight blade and one notched blade.
Taper Shears
The highest point of the head.
Apex
A movable guide that consists of a small amount of previously cut hair.
When cutting the hair, add additional length in this area to accommodate a growth pattern such as a widow’s peak, cowlick or whorl.
The growth pattern area.
Projecting the hair below 90° would:
build weight
Creates tapered ends, a softer appearance to the hair and a diffused form line.
Razors
Protruding bone below the crest area at the back of the head.
Occipital
The arrangement of lengths across the curves of the head.
Structure
The line that visually separates activated and unactivated textures in a graduated form is called the:
ridgeline
