• weight

• angles

• fullness

Lines in haircutting that are parallel to the horizon, or the floor are:

• diagonal

• horizontal

• vertical

• spiral

Elevation creates graduation and layers and is usually described in:

• degrees

• weight

• guides

• angles

The angle at which the fingers are held when cutting:

• cutting line

• guide
