hair design

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
