Women’s Hairstyling Flashcards

[q] Blunt Cut

[a] The blunt cut is also known as a one-length cut because all the hair strands end at one level to form a heavy weight line at the perimeter.

[q] Graduated Haircut

[a] A graduated cut has a wedge or stacked shape that is created by cutting with tension at low to medium elevations.

[q] Uniform-Layered Cut

[a] In a uniform-layered cut, all of the hair strands are cut to the same length at a 90-degree elevation, straight out from where the hair grows

[q] Long-Layered Cuts

[a] Long-Layered Cuts

[q] Curl pattern will play a role in cutting the hair. The curlier the hair, the more it will ________ up and give the appearance of a change in elevation.

[a]

bounce

[q] Wave Formation

[a] Curly hair types range from large, loose curl patterns to tight, springy curls.

[q] Cutting Techniques

[a] Depending on the overall length of the hair, short natural cuts on extremely curly hair can be created by using the freehand clipper or fingers-and-shear cutting technique.

[q] Overdirection

[a] Overdirection occurs when the hair is combed away from its natural fall position.

[q] Razor cutting

[a] Razor cutting produces an angle at the ends of the hair that results in softer shapes with more movement and visual separation than shear cutting.

[q] Texturizing

[a] Texturizing techniques can be used to remove excess bulk, add volume, create movement, or create wispy and spiky effects.

[q] Point Cutting

[a] Point cutting is performed at the ends of the hair using the tips of the shears at a steep shear angle in relation to the hair parting.

[q] Notching

[a] Notching creates a chunkier effect than point cutting and is produced by positioning the shears at a flatter angle to the ends of the hair

[q] Slithering

[a] Slithering is the process of thinning the hair to graduated lengths with the shears, which produces volume and movement.

[q] Slicing

[a] Slicing also removes bulk and adds movement in the hair. The blades are kept open, and only the portion of the blade near the pivot is used for cutting

[q] Carving

[a] Carving is a version of slicing that creates separation in the hair.

[q] Hairstyling techniques include wet hairstyling, blowdry styling, thermal styling, and ________dry styling.

[a]

[q] Wet hairstylingis accomplished by hair wrapping, hair molding, finger waving, pin curls, and _________ sets.

[a] roller

[q] Finger Waving

[a] Finger waving is the process of shaping and directing the hair into an S-shaped pattern through the use of fingers, comb, and setting lotion.

[q] Pin Curls

[a] Pin curls are the basis for patterns, lines, waves, and curls used in a variety of hairstyles.

[q] Roller Sets

[a] Rollers set a pattern in the hair that will form the basis for a hairstyle.

[q] Natural Dry Styling

[a] Once the hair is towel-dried, it is combed into place or arranged into a style with the hands and fingers, then allowed to dry naturally.

[q] Hair wrapping

[a] Hair wrapping is a technique used to keep curly hair smooth and straight while retaining a beautiful shape

[q] Hair molding

[a] Hair molding is the process of combing the hair straight down over the client’s head, followed by drying, and finishing with thermal irons.

[q] Blowdry styling

[a] Blowdry styling is the technique of drying and styling damp or wet hair in one step.

[q] thermal styling

[a] With thermal styling, heat is used to produce curls or waves (curling irons) or straightened hair (pressing combs or flat irons).

[q] Thermal Waving

[a] Thermal waving is performed with Marcel irons or electric thermal (curling) irons.

[q] Thermal Straightening

[a] Thermal hair straightening, also known as hair pressing, temporarily straightens hair by using heated pressing combs or irons.

[q] Electric flat irons are used to __________ straighten hair.

[a] temporarily

[q] List the four basic cuts and the elevations or projections used to achieve them.

[a] Blunt cut: 0 elevation

• Graduated cut: 45 degrees

• Uniform-layered cut: 90 degrees

• Long-layered (increased layer) cut: 180 degrees

[q] Explain overdirection.

[a] Shifting the hair from its natural fall position.

[q]  List wet hairstyling methods.

[a] Finger waving, pin curls, hair wrapping, hair molding, and roller sets.

[q] Define on-base, half off-base, and off-base curl placement. Explain the effects of each.

[a] On-base placement sits directly on its base. It is achieved by slight overdirection beyond 90 degrees and produces a full-volume curl.

• Half base, or half off-base, sits halfway on and halfway behind its base. The hair parting is rolled at 90 degrees and produces medium volume.

• Off-base produces the least amount of volume and sits completely off the base. The hair is held at about 45 degrees from its base.

[q] What is thermal hairstyling?

[a] Thermal styling refers to the procedures of thermal waving and thermal hair straightening, which are accomplished by using heated tools to wave, curl, or straighten the hair.

[q] List the tools used in thermal hairstyling.

[a] Marcel irons, stoves, pressing combs, curling irons, and flat irons.

[q] The four basic haircuts are the blunt, graduated, uniform-layered, and __________ cuts

[a] long-layered

[q] The haircut that looks like all the hair is the same length is the _________ cut

[a] blunt
