Study Notes
Hair Design Principles Overview
- Studying hair design principles helps cosmetologists persuade clients to experiment with different styles.
- Learning from design mistakes is essential for growth in styling skills.
- Planning steps for hair design include assessing tools and techniques needed for execution.
Key Elements of Hair Design
- Form: Refers to the mass or general outline of a hairstyle.
- Space: Defined as the area occupied by the hairstyle.
- Parallel Lines: Characterized by repeating lines in a hairstyle, which can be either curved or straight.
- Design Texture: Pertains to wave patterns or the illusion of motion within hair.
- Design Lines: Can be utilized to create a focal point that draws attention in the hairstyle.
Principles of Hair Design
- Proportion: Refers to the comparative size relationship of one element to another; in hairstyles, they should generally not exceed the width of the shoulders.
- Emphasis: Defined as the focal point that first attracts the eye to the hairstyle.
- Failing to consider emphasis can lead to a hairstyle lacking a central area of interest, resulting in visual confusion.
Client Consultation Considerations
- When advising clients on hairstyles, consider their body type to ensure styles are proportional.
- The parietal ridge serves as the widest reference point on the head.
- The crown is located between the apex and the back of the parietal ridge.
Head Anatomy References
- The occipital bone is where a comb placed flat against the nape leaves the head.
- The nape is found at the back of the neck, just below the occipital bone.
Hair Types and Styling Challenges
- Very curly, fine hair is well-suited for blow-drying and thermal flat ironing.
- Straight, fine hair hugs the head shape, has minimal body, and limited elasticity, impacting styling options.
- Curly, fine hair typically tangles easily and benefits from thermal protection products before styling.
Hair Typing and Recommendations
- To classify a client's hair using the Andre Walker Hair Typing System, assess both texture and density.
- For clients with an oblong face wanting to appear shorter and wider, recommend chin-length styles close to the head with added volume on the sides.
