Haircutting Part 2

Match the following

• Hair is held 90 degrees

• High Elevation Uniform layers

• Hair is held at zero degree elevation

• Low Elevation Blunt cut

• Hair is held at 45 degrees

• Blended Elevation Graduated Cut

• hair is held at 180 degree elevation

• Reverse Elevation Long Layers

The angle or degree to which a subsection of hair is held from the head when cutting is called:

• graduation

• elevation

• inclination

• overdiretion

Lines typically used for uniform layers or to remove weight are:

• vertical

• horizontal

• blunt

• diagonal

Lines typically used to build weight or for low elevation haircuts are:

• contrasting

• perpendicular

• vertical

• horizontal

Projecting the hair below 90 degrees would:

• remove bulk

• add layers

• build weight

• shorten the length

The section of hair which determines the length the hair will be cut is called the:

• base section
• guideline

• perimeter

• main section

The visual line in a haircut where the ends of the hair hang together is called:

• a holding line

• a tapered line

• a cutting line

• a weight line

Combing the hair away from its natural falling position, rather than straight out, is called:

• overdirection

• Upcombing
• Undercutting

• high elevation

The more you elevate, the more you will create:

• layers

• weight

• bulk

• closeness

Sectioning the hair before cutting will:

• Make the hair more difficult to manage
• allow more control

• Result in uneven and unbalanced haircuts
• Give a single shaping
