Study Notes
Hair Sculpture Basics
- The foundation for all hair services is sculpture.
- The outer boundary of any shape or form is called the form line.
- The term for hair falling naturally over the curve of the head is natural fall.
Hair Structure and Area
- The crest area is the widest part around the head.
- A solid form consists of hair lengths that progress from shorter exterior to longer interior, also known as a one length cut.
- The graduated form, sometimes called a wedge cut, is characterized by a 45 degree angle.
Cutting Techniques and Tools
- A layered cut at a 90 degree angle is termed a uniformly layered form.
- Shears are the sculpting tools used to create a clean blunt edge.
- When using a razor, expect results such as softened appearance but not regular alteration of lengths.
Scissors Handling and Techniques
- The ring finger is placed in the grip to control the still blade of the shears.
- To hold comb and shears safely, close your palm over the shears after releasing the thumb grip.
- Taper shears are designed to reduce bulk, not to create precise lines.
Clipper Use
- The guard attachment allows hair to be sculpted at the same length using electric clippers.
- A trimmer, or edger, is used to outline and refine hair.
Hair Sectioning and Head Positioning
- Sectioning divides the head into manageable areas for control during sculpting.
- The apex refers to the top part of the head.
- The area below the occipital is known as the nape.
Hair Density and Parting
- The density of the hair dictates the size of the parting used in sculpting.
- A tilted forward head position results in shorter nape lengths and longer surface lengths, creating an underbevel effect.
Projection and Cutting Angles
- Projection is the angle at which hair is held before sculpting, also known as elevation.
- Low projection is typically between 0 to 30 degrees, while angles between 60 to 90 degrees indicate high elevation.
- Projecting hair below 90 degrees builds weight, whereas 90 degrees and above removes weight.
Design Lines
- The design line serves as the length guide when sculpting hair.
- A stable design line is fixed, while a mobile design line is used for graduated or layered cuts.
Texturizing Techniques
- Texturizing decreases bulk without shortening the hair's overall appearance.
- For coarse hair, maintain control by texturizing at least 1.5 inches from the scalp.
- End texturizing softens the ends, reduces bulk, and blends weight lines.
Specialty Techniques
- Beveling is performed by positioning the blade behind the section of hair and moving in curved strokes.
- The notching technique creates irregular lengths for a chunkier texture.
Infection Control
- Adhering to infection control procedures includes sweeping and disposing of cut hair prior to performing air forming services.
