hair design
the art of dressing and arranging hair to create temporary changes in form and texture of the finished hair design
distribution
direction the hair is combed or dispersed over the curve of the head
scale
section means to carve out shapes in the proper predetermined size and proportion to establish the lines of the design
circle
geometric, closed-curve shape bounded by a circumfrance and having equal radii from a center point of origin
oblong
an elongated curvature shape with parallel "c" lines, consisting of a convex (closed) end and a concave (open) end.
backbrushing, backcombing
optional techniques used to increase height and control form in a hair design by creating a cushion or mesh at the base
wet design
refers to the area of hair designing in which the hair is manipulated into the desired shapes and movements while wet and then allowed dry
fingerwaving
the art of shaping and defining the hair in graceful waves
fingerwave
created by molding two complete alternating oblong shapes, using your fingers and a comb that are joined and connected by a ridge
pincurls
base in the area of the strand at the scalp between partings within a shape
three common types of curvature pincurls
flat, volume, and indentation
pincurls
are used for closeness
thermal designing
technique of drying and/ or designing hair by using a hand-held dryer while simultaneously using your fingers, a variety of brushes, pressing comb and or a thermal curling iron
air forming
called blow drying refers to the process of simultaneously drying and designing the hair to create a new form
finger styling
technique in which the fingers are ised to manipulate and design the hair as it is dried with the blow dryer
scrunching
form of finger styling involves gently squeezing the hair lengths as the hair is dried using a diffuser to introduce a texture pattern that the hair responds to naturally
thermal curling
process of temporarily adding curl texture to the hair through the use of curling irons or other types of thermal irons
distribution
defines the overall direction of the design
braid
consists of the crossing or weaving of three or more strands of hair
loops
the folding and bending or encircling of hair strands, which are then secured in a curvature shape
partings
used to subdivide the hair and larger sections for control
half circle
rollers will achieve curvature volume that directs hair with equal radial lines
expanded circles
larger circles that extend the curvature direction from the circle or half circle while maintaining equal radial lines.
half oval
set with rollers will achieve curvature volume that directs hair with unequal radial lines
triangle
are used to achieve straight movement in an direction and can be positioned at the top and sides of the head
