Hairlines and Growth PatternsBoth the hairline and growth patterns are important to examine. The hairline is the hair that grows at the outermost perimeter along the face, around the ears, and on the neck. The growth pattern is the direction in which the hair grows from the scalp, also referred to as natural fall or natural falling position. Cowlicks, whorls, and other growth patterns affect where the hair ends up once it is dry. You may need to use less tension when cutting these areas to compensate for hair being pushed up when it dries, especially in the nape, or to avoid getting a hole around the ear in aone-length haircut. Another crucial area is the crown.<\/p>\n"},"subContentId":"bfbcc40a-7c38-45f1-847c-025ef0444bcf","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Untitled Text"}},"alwaysDisplayComments":false,"backgroundOpacity":0,"displayAsButton":false,"buttonSize":"big","goToSlideType":"specified","invisible":false,"solution":""}],"slideBackgroundSelector":{}},{"elements":[{"x":30.025125628140703,"y":30.024813895781637,"width":40,"height":40,"action":{"library":"H5P.AdvancedText 1.1","params":{"text":"

Handling the Comb<\/p>\n\n

Both the wide and fine teeth of the comb are regularly used when cutting hair. The wide teeth are used for combing and parting hair, while the finer teeth comb the section before cutting. The finer teeth provide more tension and are useful when cutting around the ears, when dealing with difficult hairlines, and when cutting curly hair. You should plan on spending some time practicing how to turn the comb in your hand while palming the shears.<\/p>\n"},"subContentId":"4d5f69eb-5810-4692-8229-6f7c4817bd87","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Untitled Text"}},"alwaysDisplayComments":false,"backgroundOpacity":0,"displayAsButton":false,"buttonSize":"big","goToSlideType":"specified","invisible":false,"solution":""}],"slideBackgroundSelector":{}},{"elements":[{"x":30.025125628140703,"y":30.024813895781637,"width":40,"height":40,"action":{"library":"H5P.AdvancedText 1.1","params":{"text":"

Tension<\/p>\n\n

Tension in haircutting is the amount of pressure applied when combing and holding a subsection. Tension is created by stretching or pulling the subsection.Tension ranges from minimum to maximum. You control tension with your fingers when you hold the subsection of hair between them. Consistent tension is important for constant, even results in a haircut. Use maximum tension on straight hair when you want precise lines. With curly or wavy hair, less tension is better because a lot of tension will result in the hair shrinking even more than usual as it dries. Minimum or no tension should be used around the ears and on hairlines with strong growthpatterns.<\/p>\n"},"subContentId":"0f72b025-8752-41ac-9ac4-16727c963eeb","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Untitled Text"}},"alwaysDisplayComments":false,"backgroundOpacity":0,"displayAsButton":false,"buttonSize":"big","goToSlideType":"specified","invisible":false,"solution":""}],"slideBackgroundSelector":{}},{"elements":[{"x":30.025125628140703,"y":30.024813895781637,"width":40,"height":40,"action":{"library":"H5P.AdvancedText 1.1","params":{"text":"

The Blunt Haircut<\/p>\n\n

The blunt haircut\u2014also known as a bob, one-length, one-level, or pageboy haircut\u2014is an all-time classic. Although the line of the cut appears to be simple, the success of the cut relies on precision, which can be anything but simple when working with a variety of hair types, growth patterns, and animated clients.The client\u2019s head should be slightly tilted when cutting the back sections and moved slowly upright and straight forward as you incorporate the sides and complete the remainder of the cut. For a blunt haircut, you want to cut the hair in its natural position. If you cut a blunt haircut with the head forward, you will make two discoveries: (1) The line will not fall as you cut it, and (2) you will have created some graduation where you did not intend to. Blunt haircuts may be performed by either holding the sections between the fingers or using the comb to hold the hair with little or no tension. If the hair length is past the shoulders, sections need to be held between the fingers with minimal tension. For very long hair, it is often useful to have the client stand while you sit on a cutting stool as youwork.When cutting a blunt cut, be aware of the crown area, sometimes called the danger zone, because this is where irregular growth patterns are most often found. The crown can be challenging when you are doing blunt haircuts. Look at the scalp to see the natural growth pattern. You may want to cut this area at the very end of the haircut or cut it slightly longer than the guideline. Once the hair is dry, you can see where it falls and then match the length to the guideline.Another danger zone is around the ears. Because ears do not lie flat against the head, you need to take special steps to keep an even cutting line. Always work with very little tension or no tension around the ears, unless you are working with shorter layers. Blunt cuts can be designed with or without bangs (fringe); on straight or curly hair; and with a short, medium, or long length.<\/p>\n"},"subContentId":"f79082fb-3cd1-4df0-92dd-b570208204a7","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Untitled Text"}},"alwaysDisplayComments":false,"backgroundOpacity":0,"displayAsButton":false,"buttonSize":"big","goToSlideType":"specified","invisible":false,"solution":""}],"slideBackgroundSelector":{}},{"elements":[{"x":30.025125628140703,"y":30.024813895781637,"width":40,"height":40,"action":{"library":"H5P.AdvancedText 1.1","params":{"text":"

Tips for Cutting Curly Hair<\/p>\n\n

\u0001Curly hair can appear shorter after it dries because of a shrinking effect. The curlier the hair, the more it will shrink. For every \u00bc inch (0.6 centimeters) you cut when the hair is wet, it will shrink up to 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) when dry. Always keep this in mind when consulting with your client.t\u0001So as not to cut curly hair shorter than desired, use minimal tension and\/or the wide teeth of your comb when cutting and be sure not to stretch the hair as you cut it.t\u0001Maintain a consistent dampness of the hair while cutting.t\u0001Curly hair naturally graduates itself. If the shape you want to create has strong angles, you need to elevate less than when working with straighthair.t\u0001Curly hair when dry has more volume than straight hair. This means that you will generally need to leave lengths longer, which ultimately helps weigh the hair down and keeps the shape from ending up too short.t\u0001In general, a razor should not be used on curly hair. Doing so weakens the cuticle and causes the hair to frizz.t\u0001Choose your texturizing techniques carefully. Avoid using the razor and work mostly with point cutting and free-hand notching to remove bulk and weight (these techniques are discussed later in this chapter).<\/p>\n"},"subContentId":"8658d712-b3d3-46ff-84b0-a961de261b8a","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Untitled Text"}},"alwaysDisplayComments":false,"backgroundOpacity":0,"displayAsButton":false,"buttonSize":"big","goToSlideType":"specified","invisible":false,"solution":""}],"slideBackgroundSelector":{}},{"elements":[{"x":30.025125628140703,"y":30.024813895781637,"width":40,"height":40,"action":{"library":"H5P.AdvancedText 1.1","params":{"text":"
