Study Notes

Hair Design Techniques

  • Unactivated surface texture in hair design is characterized as straight.
  • Two areas involved in hair design services are wet design and thermal design.
  • Fingerwaves with low ridges are identified as shadow waves.
  • The 2-comb technique creates strong ridges, narrow waves, and is effective on tightly curled hair, but does NOT create flat ridges.

Tools and Techniques

  • The use of a smaller round brush during air forming results in a curlier style.
  • Base-to-ends technique with a curling iron creates volume and consistent curl patterns.
  • Always ensure hair is cool before brushing or combing after a thermal procedure.
  • Fine hair when pressing requires less heat to prevent damage.

Pressing and Thermal Procedures

  • A hard or double press involves applying the pressing comb twice with more pressure and heat.
  • For porous, white, or bleached hair, a hot iron should be closed lightly on a damp towel before curling to avoid scorching.
  • Rain, humidity, and shampooing typically cause thermally styled hair to return to its original shape.

Accessories and Products

  • A diffuser is an attachment for blow dryers that spreads airflow gently over a larger area.
  • Pomade is a hairstyling product that creates sleek and smooth finishes.
  • Flat irons feature two flat plates, commonly made of ceramic or metal.

Curling and Styling Shapes

  • Cylinder rollers are used to create uniform curls within straight shapes.
  • Curvature shapes include circle, oval, and oblong.
  • A half-circle shape moves hair in equal proportions from a center point, while a half-oval shape moves hair from an off-center point.

Curl Characteristics

  • The arc of a curl determines its amount of movement.
  • Detailing refers to smaller, refined touches for personalized hairstyles.

Base Controls in Hairstyling

  • Off-base indentation results in minimum base strength and maximum curl mobility.
  • On base control provides maximum volume and strength.
  • Overdirected base control is used for exaggerated volume and direction.
  • Half-off base control is utilized for equal degrees of predetermined direction or volume.

Base Size and Tool Usage

  • A base size equal to the diameter of the tool is referred to as 1x.
  • The diameter of the tool determines the base width in hair design.

Disinfection and Hair Management

  • Immersing items in EPA-registered disinfectants applies to combs, rollers, and brushes, but NOT to thermal irons.
  • Partings taken during hair pressing should consider the density and texture of the hair.
  • Underdirected tool position occurs when the tool sits in the lower portion of the base, not on or below the parting.
