Haircutting Part 1

For best results when giving a haircutting consultation, the hair should be:

• Wet and styled
• clean and unstyled

• pulled back

• Covered with a towel

In a haircut, design lines that are proportionate are created by using:

• random techniques

• reference points

• a ruler to measure the design lines

• subsections

The reference point that signals a change in the head shape from flat to round or vice versa is the:

• Four corners

• Parietal bone
• Occipital bone

• Apex

It is best to cut this type of hair dry and in its natural state, or after thermal styling it:

• coarse

• coily

• wavy

• straight

The foundation of every haircut is:

• wave pattern

• space

• form

• hair length and texture

The highest point at the top of the head is called the:

• apex

• parietal ridge

• crest

• peak

The widest part of the head is the:

• front

• occipital bone

• apex

• parietal ridge

The hair all along the hairline is called the:

• nape

• crown

• perimeter

• interior

If you want to slim an area, you should use:

• highlighting
• a single weight line

• volume

• closeness

The two biggest danger zones when cutting, especially with blunt cuts, are the:

• crown and nape

• crown and ears

• bangs and nape

• crown and temples
