Study Notes
Client Consultation and Haircut Preparation
- Client consultation is essential for understanding the desired haircut or style.
- A typical question asked includes whether the client prefers a similar style or wants something new.
- Summarize the client’s wishes before starting to ensure clarity.
Facial Shapes and Appropriate Hairstyles
- Facial shape influences hairstyle suitability, determined by bone structure.
- Oval-shaped faces can typically wear a wide range of hairstyles.
- Off-center parts can lessen fullness in round faces.
- Inverted triangular faces may benefit from a beard for balance.
- Oblong faces should aim for styles that visually shorten their appearance.
- Diamond-shaped faces benefit from styles that add width at the temples.
Haircut Techniques and Guidelines
- An angular profile includes a receding forehead and prominent chin.
- Convex profiles require styles that create harmony between the forehead and chin.
- Minimize the appearance of a prominent nose by styling hair forward at the forehead.
- For long necks, hair should be longer at the nape; shorter necks are balanced with tapered cuts.
- Maintain proportion, balance, and color when cutting sideburns.
Head Anatomy and Sections
- The temporal section is part of the parietal ridge, the widest section of the head.
- The occipital bone protrudes at the skull's base, while the apex is the topmost point of the head.
- Locate the four corners of the head by crossing two diagonal lines at the apex.
Haircutting Techniques
- Tapering gradually changes hair length without visible demarcation.
- Longer styles require less tapering, while medium-length styles maintain a closer cut to the head.
- Short styles typically taper to the crest or near it, and horizontal cutting lines result in a one-length look.
- Vertical cutting lines are perpendicular to the floor; diagonal lines create sloped designs.
- Curved cutting lines can be shallow or deep.
Elevation and Tension in Haircutting
- Elevation is achieved by lifting hair above 0 degrees.
- 0-degree elevation creates weight, while 90-degree is commonly used in men’s haircutting.
- Medium elevation holds hair at 45 degrees, resulting in uniform layers.
- Parting refers to a smaller section of hair from a larger one, helping in guiding cuts.
Cutting Techniques and Texturing
- The design line marks the haircut's perimeter while heavy tapering and shear-over-comb techniques are effective for maintaining control and blending.
- Freehand cutting and razor techniques can create movement within styles and are used for light or heavy taper blending.
- Proper tension is vital for precise cuts, particularly using minimal tension for curly or wavy hair.
- Thinning techniques use serrated shears, effective for removing bulk.
Haircut Styles
- Flat tops have very short sides and slightly longer hair on top.
- Crew cuts are characterized by short or medium tapered lengths with gradually increasing top lengths.
- Fades transition from shorter to nothing at the hairline, ensuring a well-blended appearance.
- Quo vadis styles conform closely to the head's contours, ideal for medium to thick hair.
Styling Techniques
- Finger styling manipulates hair without combs; finger waving shapes hair into S patterns.
- Blow-drying techniques involve definite direction drying, while freeform blow-drying allows natural style construction.
- Diffused drying maintains natural wave patterns, important in certain stylistic approaches.
Hair Care Practices
- Natural hairstyles such as braids and locks have roots in African culture.
- On-the-scale cornrows are popular braiding styles today.
- Lock formation is influenced by coil revolutions within strands, while palm rolling, double twisting, and wrapping cord are methods utilized in lock creation.
Hygiene and Safety Practices
- Use a neck strip or towel to create a barrier between the cape and client's neck during cuts.
- Avoid prolonged application of dryer heat in one area, which can damage hair.
