Chapter 16 Haircutting
Basic Principles of Haircutting Good haircuts: *understand the shape of the head Hair responds differently: *various areas *depends on length *cutting technique used
Be aware of head form: *curves *turns *changes
Reference Points: *where surface changes ~ears ~jaw line ~occipital bone ~apex *establish design lines Baldheadfarms.com Sxc.hu
Helps: *find balance ~both sides turn out the same ~recreate the same haircut ~where/when to change technique -flat crown -bangs
Parietal Ridge: *widest area *temples to bottom of crown Find: *comb flat on side of head Found: *where starts to curve away from the comb
Occipital bone: *protrudes at base of skull Find: *feel *comb flat against nape
Apex: *highest point *top of head Find: *comb flat on top of head
Four corners: Find: *make two diagonal lines *crossing the apex *front and back corners
*will not use every point for every haircut *know where they are Example: Front corners=widest point in bang area
Areas of the Head Top: *parietal ridge and above *hair “lies” on head Front: *apex to back of ear *falls in front of ear Short-hair-styles.com
Sides: *back of ear forward *below parietal ridge Crown: *between apex and back of parietal ridge *often flat *cowlicks and whorls *pay special attention Hairstyletalk.com
Nape: *below the occipital bone Back: *apex to the back of the ear *all hair that falls behind the ear
