    Palm to palm
  • The angle or degree at which the subsection of hair is held or elevated from the head when cutting is called what?
    Elevation
  • Explain the long layered cut.
    Cut at 90 degree elevation and over directed to maintain length and weight in the perimeter.
  • What subsection of hair determines the length that the hair will be cut?
    Guideline
  • What technique is necessary to help control the hair and produce a more uniform cut?
    Sectioning
  • When cutting with a razor, it is essential to always what?

    No elevation
  • The direction in which the hair grows from the scalp is called what?
    Growth pattern
  • Always use what to keep track of your elevations will help you create even lines and balance while working?
    Mirror
  • When cutting with the points of the shears to create texture to the ends, what is this process called?
    Notching or point cutting
  • What do layers do to the hair?
    Create movement and volume.
  • What do trimmers do?
    Create a clean line around the perimeter of a short taper.
  • What is overdirection ?
    Combing hair away from the natural falling position rather than straight out from the head, toward a guideline.

  • Explain a blunt cut.
    A haircut where the lengths of the hair all come to one hanging level, and form a weight line.
  • What is the guideline located at the perimeter of the haircut?
