The most effective way to establish design lines that are proportionate is with:
|
reference points
Reference points, which mark where the surface of the head changes or the behavior of the hair changes, ensure a balanced design. |
|
The reference point that is the highest point on top of the head is the:
|
apex
The apex is located by placing a comb flat on top of the head; the comb will rest on that highest point. |
|
The widest area of the head, starting at the temples and ending at the bottom of the crown, is the:
|
parietal ridge
The parietal ridge is found by placing a comb flat against the side of the head. Where the head starts to curve away from the comb is the parietal ridge. |
|
Placing a comb flat against the nape area and observing where the comb leaves the head is one way to find the:
|
occipital bone
The occipital bone can be found simply by feeling the base of the skull. |
|
The widest points in the ________ are the two front corners.
|
fringe (bangs) area
Cutting past the two front corners can cause the fringe to end up on the sides of the haircut once it is dry. |
|
Between the apex and the back of the parietal ridge is an area of the head called the:
|
crown
It is very important to pay attention to this area when performing any haircutting service. |
|
When combed into its natural falling position, the fringe or bangs area falls no farther than:
|
the outer corners of the eyes
The fringe area is a triangular section that begins at the apex and ends at the front corners. |
|
The top of the head can be found by parting the hair:
|
at the parietal ridge
The top of the head is where the hair lies on the head form. |
|
Straight lines that are level and direct the eye from one side to the other are:
|
horizontal lines
Horizontal lines are usually used to create one-length and low-elevation haircuts. |
|
Diagonal lines are used in a technique in which the ends of the hair are cut at a slight taper, called:
|
beveling
Beveling creates fullness in a haircut by cutting the ends of the hair at a taper. |
|
For control during haircutting, the hair is parted into uniform working areas called:
|
sections
The hair is parted into sections at the start of the haircut. |
|
When cutting, the subsection of hair is held from the head at an angle or degree called:
|
elevation
Elevation is an action that occurs when you lift a subsection of hair above zero degrees. |
|
Elevating the hair below 90 degrees when cutting has the effect of:
|
building weight
The less you elevate the hair, the more weight you build. |
|
As a general rule, as you elevate the hair more, you create:
|
more graduation
The most commonly used elevations are 45 and 90 degrees. The more you elevate, the more graduation you create. |
|
The length the hair will be cut is determined by a section of hair called the:
|
guideline
The guideline is usually the first section you cut when creating a shape. |
