Study Notes
Principles of Hair Design
- Asymmetrical Balance: Involves opposite sides of a hairstyle being different in length or volume.
- Balance: Achieving equal proportions of height and width in hairstyling to create symmetry.
- Bang Area: Known as the fringe; a triangular section starting at the apex of the head down to the front corners.
- Concave Profile: Characterized by a prominent forehead and chin, creating an inward appearance of other features.
- Contrasting Lines: Combination of horizontal and vertical lines intersecting at a 90-degree angle, resulting in a hard edge.
- Convex Profile: Defined by a receding forehead and chin.
- Design Texture: Refers to the wave patterns in hair that influence styling decisions.
- Diagonal Lines: Lines between horizontal and vertical, commonly used to highlight or downplay facial features.
- Emphasis: The focal point in a hairstyle that captures the viewer's attention before exploring other elements of the design.
- Form: The three-dimensional outline of a hairstyle, encompassing its length, width, and depth.
- Harmony: The unity achieved in a design that cohesively ties all elements together.
- Profile: The outline of the face or head, observed from the side view.
- Proportion: The comparative relationship and size of different elements to each other in the design.
- Rhythm: A recurring pattern or movement in a hairstyle, contributing to its overall design flow.
- Space: The area that surrounds the hairstyle, impacting its visual perception.
- Straight Profile: An ideal face shape that is balanced, showing neither convex nor concave features.
- Symmetrical Balance: Both halves of a hairstyle mirror each other, creating uniformity.
- Curved Lines: These lines soften a design, adding a gentle touch to hairstyles.
- Single Line Hairstyles: Best suited for clients seeking minimal styling effort.
- Parallel Lines: Seen in finger waves, representing a specific styling technique.
- Texture and Line: Critical elements that are defined by color application in hairstyling.
- Volume Illusion: Darker, cool colors can create an appearance of less volume in hair design.
- Directional Lines: Utilizing lighter colors can direct the viewer's eye within a hairstyle.
- A Single Line of Color: Creates bold and striking accents in hair design.
- Hair Texture: Curly and overly curly hair can feel coarse and reflect less light.
- Unusual Wave Patterns: Crimping irons are used to achieve unique zigzag styles.
- Excessive Wave Combinations: Using too many wave patterns can create an overly busy look.
- Five Key Art Principles: Proportion, balance, rhythm, emphasis, and harmony are essential for effective hair design.
- Fine and Curly Hair: Long curly hair may separate and expose the scalp if not thick in density.
- Hair Rhythm: Refers to the fast or slow patterns creating movement in a hairstyle.
- Ideal Face Shape: The oval face shape is considered the most aesthetically pleasing.
- Oval Face Dimensions: The length is approximately 1.5 times greater than its width.
- Wide Face Styling Goal: Aim to create an illusion of length when styling a wide face.
- Triangular Face Styling Goal: Aim to create width at the forehead to balance features.
- Lightening Technique: Brightening hair at the corners of the eyes can give the illusion of width for close-set eyes.
- Positive Feature Enhancement: Begin the design process by analyzing and enhancing the client's features.
- Calculated Risks in Hair Design: Requires a strong foundation in techniques and skills for successful execution.
- Design Elements: In design principles, line defines both form and space.
- Curved Lines for Emphasis: These lines help in minimizing or emphasizing facial features.
- Transitional Lines: Curved lines blending horizontal and vertical lines to soften designs.
- Weight: Refers to the overall mass and general outline of a hairstyle.
- Natural Wave Patterns: Includes categories of straight, wavy, curly, and extremely curly.
- Form and Volume Relation: Movement in hairstyling affects the relationship between form and volume.
- Thermal Styling: Used to temporarily change hair texture; permanent changes require chemical methods.
- Warm Hair Colors: Gold skin tones are complemented by warm hair color selections.
- Square Face Feature Balancing: Styling should create volume between the temples and jawline to soften angular features.
- Triangular Face Shape: Characterized by a narrow forehead and wider jaw and chin lines.
