FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What cutting technique should Rosie ask her stylist to use to reduce the length of her hair but retain its bulk?
Back
Club Cutting
Answer explanation
In club cutting, also known as blunt cutting, the hair is held between the fingers and cut straight across.
Freehand cutting is when you cut without holding the hair. This is used when tension isn't needed.
Texturising is when you use scissors to chip into the cut style to create movement.
Scissor over comb is when the hair is lifted and held by the comb - this helps to achieve graduation, blend lengths and achieve a shorter, closer look.

Certain hair styles will work better with different levels of density in hair and often cuts will need to be adapted to accommodate very sparse or abundant heads of hair.
Abundant hair types will often mean an increase in service time as the hair takes longer to wash, rinse, cut and dry.
