Study Notes
Haircutting Basics
- Occipital Bone: The prominent bone located at the back of the head below the crest area.
- Form: Defined by length, width, and depth.
- Movement and Excitement: Diagonal lines create the illusion of movement in haircutting.
Haircutting Techniques
- Parting Size: Determined by the hair's density.
- Mobile Design Line: Serves as a length guide for cutting various forms like graduated and layered styles.
- Hair Sections: The hair below the crest is referred to as the exterior, while above it is known as the interior.
Hair Cutting Angles and Forms
- 180° Angle Cut: Produces an increase-layered form.
- Short to Long Gradation: A very short exterior that progressively gets longer towards the interior is called gradation.
-
Cutting Projections:
- High projection (90°): hair pulled straight out to the surface.
- Medium projection (45°): allows for more volume.
- Low projection (0°-30°): creates weight in the form.
Distribution and Texture
- Natural Distribution: Hair falls naturally under gravity.
- Shifted Distribution: Hair combed out of its natural parting.
- Texture Types: Solid forms have unactivated textures, while activated forms include layering and texturizing techniques.
Tools and Implements
- Shears: Used to create clean, blunt edges; the moving blade is controlled by the thumb.
- Taper Shears: Designed to reduce bulk with one straight and one notched blade.
- Clippers: Cut hair quickly and are often used with guards to maintain lengths.
Growth Patterns and Control
- Cowlicks and Whorls: Hair growth patterns that influence cutting techniques, such as allowing extra length in specific areas.
- Ridge Line: Visual separation between different textures in graduated forms.
Safety and Procedures
- Infection Control: Cut hair should be swept and disposed of before performing services. Implements must be disinfected after each use.
- Crosschecking: Method used for checking haircut accuracy by parting in the opposite direction.
Advanced Techniques
- End Texturizing: Focuses on the ends to reduce weight and create a soft blend.
- Conversion Layering: This technique is used to achieve increase-layered forms.
- Overcomb Technique: Combines cutting and combing for precision.
Sectioning and Control
- Sectioning: Dividing hair into manageable areas enhances control while cutting.
- Partings: Subdivide sections to distribute and control hair more effectively during a cut.
Haircut Types
-
Basic Shapes:
- Solid form: characterized by an unactivated interior, resulting in a blunt effect.
- Graduated form: has both activated and unactivated textures.
- Increase-layered and uniformly layered forms: different styles characterized by specific layering techniques.
Conclusion
- The foundation and success of a haircut depend on understanding the elements of form, texture, and distribution as well as utilizing the appropriate techniques and tools effectively.
