Study Notes
Principles of Hair Design
- Involves sectioning, combing, elevating, and cutting hair ends.
- Represents the physics of hairdressing, where every technique produces predictable outcomes.
Reference Points
- Essential for ensuring balance in a haircut.
- Helps in replicating designs and adapting techniques for irregularities.
Parietal Ridge
- Widest area of the head, from temples to bottom of the crown.
- Identified by placing a comb flat on the head; where the head curves away marks the ridge.
- Also known as the crest area.
Occipital Bone
- The protruding bone at the skull's base.
- Can be found by feeling the skull or using a comb against the nape area.
Apex
- The highest point on the top of the head.
- Located by placing a comb flat on the head; rests at the apex.
Four Corners
- Can be found by placing two combs flat against the side and back.
- Diagonal lines are drawn from the apex to the front and back corners.
Areas of the Head
- Defined by reference points; include top, front, back, and side views.
Top
- Identified by parting hair at the parietal ridge, encircling the head.
- Hair in this area lies flat; other sections hang due to gravity.
Front
- Located by parting from the apex to the back of the ear.
- Includes hair that falls before the ear and some side hair.
Sides
- Comprise hair from the back of the ear to the front, below the parietal ridge.
Crown
- The area located between the apex and back of the parietal ridge.
Nape
- Back part of the neck, beneath the occipital bone.
- Identified with a horizontal parting at the occipital bone.
Back
- Defined by parting from apex to the back of the ear.
- Comprises hair that naturally falls behind the ear.
Fringe
- Known as the bang area, a triangular section from the apex to front corners.
- Located by balancing a comb on the apex; the point where it leaves the head marks the fringe's start.
- When styled naturally, the fringe falls to the outer corners of the eyes.
