Study Notes
Haircutting Fundamentals
- Form is the foundation of every haircut, emphasizing shape and structure.
- Horizontal lines are parallel to the horizon, creating stability and maximum weight.
- Diagonal lines in haircutting create movement and excitement, enhancing the overall aesthetic.
Hair Cutting Techniques
- Cutting at 0-degree projection yields a solid form; a 45-degree cut results in a graduated appearance.
- A uniformly layered cut is defined by a 90-degree cut, featuring a circular shape and consistent length.
Tools and Their Functions
- Shears create a clean, blunt edge while razors provide a softer, tapered finish.
- Control of shears involves placing the ring finger in the grip and using the thumb for the moveable blade.
Proper Handling of Tools
- To safely hold both comb and shears in one hand, release the thumb grip and close the palm over the shears.
- Guards on electric clippers ensure an even cut for uniform hair length, while trimmers refine hairlines.
Haircutting Techniques and Concepts
- Moveable clippers' blades shift side to side during use, while a barber comb aids in controlling perimeter lengths.
- The hairline area is known as the perimeter, with the apex marking the top of the head.
Sectioning and Positioning
- Sectioning divides the head for manageable cutting, while an upright posture promotes natural-looking lines.
- Tilting the head forward while cutting leads to a slight graduated effect.
Projection and Design Lines
- Projection or elevation describes the angle the hair is held before cutting; angles below 90 degrees create weight.
- A stationary design line directs all lengths, whereas a mobile design line is used for varied lengths in cuts.
Texturizing Techniques
- Texturizing involves cutting shorter lengths within a form to reduce bulk without shortening overall length.
- End texturizing targets hair ends for softness, mobility, and blending weight lines, particularly for coarse hair.
Considerations for Curly and Growth Patterns
- Texturizing curly hair should be done dry for better control and to accommodate shrinkage.
- Allow extra length around growth patterns like widow's peaks and cowlicks for a more harmonious cut.
Density and Hair Control Measures
- Parting size in haircutting is dictated by hair density to manage the cutting process effectively.
- Infection control measures necessitate disposal of cut hair before blow drying to maintain cleanliness.
Advanced Techniques
- Conversion layering creates increased-layered forms, with higher projection angles leading to steeper inclines in graduation.
