Sculpture theory
what Is the artistic removal of hair lengths to create different forms and shapes
Hair sculpting
Name the three levels of observation
Basic-detail-abstract
haircut has a rectangle shape
Solid form
What has two straight blades, creates a clean blunt edge
Shears
the angle at which you hold the hair away from the head while cutting.
also called elevation
Projection
Hair is cut to approximately the same length throughout the head
Uniformly layered form
Lifting the hair straight out from the curve of the head at a 90 degree angle
normal projection
Two or more of the four basic haircutting forms within one sculpture
Combination form
Also known as thinning shears
Taper shears
What is the guide that determines the length and pattern of the haircut
Design line
What describes how the hair appears on the outside
Surface texture
Hair lengths gradually increase from shorter in the exterior to longer toward the interior
Graduated form
Name the four basic haircutting forms
Solid- graduated-uniformly layered- increased layered
These have very wide notches or spaces between their teeth
Channeling shears
A guide line that does not move while cutting additional sections
Stationary design line
This refers to how lengths are arranged throughout the head
Structure
The widest curved region around the head
Crest area
What is used to cut larger sections of hair quickly and evenly
Clippers
This softens the ends of the hair, creates movemenot, produces wispy feathered effects
Razors
Hair grows in a circular or spiral pattern, usually near the crown
Whorl
The position hair takes when it hangs freely over the curves of the head without being lifted or redirected
Natural fall
The concentration of hair length and density around the outer edge of the haircut
Perimeter weight
This technique uses a comb and clipper together to control the amount of hair being removed
Clipper-over-comb
The angle at which you lift the hair away from the head before cutting it
Projection
Dividing the hair into smaller, workable areas to maintain control during a haircut
Sectioning
