FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING
![Page 2: FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING. PRINICPLES What is the definition of a principle? A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649edb5503460f94bebc8f/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
PRINICPLESWhat is the definition of a principle?
A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works.Ex: Rules to a game

There are 6 principles in hair cutting:
• Perspective• Dimension• Distribution of Weight• Elevation • Over-Direction• Body Position
Lets explore each one in depth
![Page 4: FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING. PRINICPLES What is the definition of a principle? A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649edb5503460f94bebc8f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
1. PERSPECTIVE
Perspective is a technique of drawing a representation of something on a flat surface, so that it appears to have depth and distance.
There are 2 perspective:• Vertical • Horizontal
![Page 5: FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING. PRINICPLES What is the definition of a principle? A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649edb5503460f94bebc8f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL PERSPECTIVE
VERTICAL: • Consists of the profile, facial features, front,
sides and back of the head. • Used to check for balance and symmetry and
how high to lift the hair
HORIZONTAL: • Aerial view: shows the shape of the hair cut
when all the hair is lifted straight out from the head.
• Referred to as a “bird’s eye view”

2. DIMENSION
Refers to the properties of an object in terms of • Height• Width• Depth
Looking at an object with both vertical and horizontal perspective.
Vertical perspective = height = elevation
![Page 7: FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING. PRINICPLES What is the definition of a principle? A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649edb5503460f94bebc8f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Horizontal perspective = width = over-direction
Depth = Length of hair• Can be short, medium and long
![Page 8: FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING. PRINICPLES What is the definition of a principle? A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649edb5503460f94bebc8f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
3. DISTRIBUTION OF WEIGHT
Weight can be distributed upward or downward depending on your elevation.
Weight can also be distributed forward or backward depending on over-direction
Characteristics of hair such as (i) texture and (ii) density of the hair could also effect the distribution of weight.

4. ELEVATION
Elevation is the lifting of hair from its natural fall or position on the head.
Elevation = Distribution of weight upward or downward = Technique
There are 3 techniques: • One Length• Graduation • Layers
![Page 10: FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING. PRINICPLES What is the definition of a principle? A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649edb5503460f94bebc8f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
One Length
This technique uses • 0 degree or minimal elevation • keeps maximum weight at the bottom of the
hair (perimeter).• All lengths finish at the same plane
![Page 11: FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING. PRINICPLES What is the definition of a principle? A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649edb5503460f94bebc8f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Graduation
This technique uses • 1°- 89° of elevation• builds weight• Hair is longer toward the top with shorter
pieces at the bottom.
![Page 12: FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING. PRINICPLES What is the definition of a principle? A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649edb5503460f94bebc8f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Layers
This technique uses • 90° and above elevation• removes weight with shorter pieces at the
top and longer at the bottom
![Page 13: FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING. PRINICPLES What is the definition of a principle? A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649edb5503460f94bebc8f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
5. OVER-DIRECTION
Over-direction• the moving of the hair from its natural fall • distributing weight side to side as well as
forward and backward.• Shape is viewed from a birds eye view.
Over-direction = Distributing Weight Froward or Backward or Evenly = Shape
There are 3 shapes: Round, Triangular and Square
Distance = Length
![Page 14: FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING. PRINICPLES What is the definition of a principle? A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649edb5503460f94bebc8f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Round
• This shape is shorter in the front and longer in the back.
• Weight is distributed backward
• Over-directing the hair forward from its natural position.
• Hair cut begins at the front of the head
![Page 15: FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING. PRINICPLES What is the definition of a principle? A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649edb5503460f94bebc8f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Triangle
• This shape is longer in the front and shorter in the back
• Weight is distributed forward
• Over-directing the hair backward from its natural position
• Hair cut begins at the back
![Page 16: FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING. PRINICPLES What is the definition of a principle? A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649edb5503460f94bebc8f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Square
• This shape appears to have even lengths on all sides
• Weight is distributed evenly
• Over-directing the hair both forward and backward from its natural position.
• Hair cut begins at the flatter parts of the head (sides, back or top)
![Page 17: FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING. PRINICPLES What is the definition of a principle? A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649edb5503460f94bebc8f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
6. BODY POSITIONUpper body • Arm and hands• Elevation which controls technique
Elevation = Technique = Upper Body Position
Lower body• Where and how you stand as well as move
around the guest. • Controlled by your feet.
Over-direction = Shape = Lower body position
![Page 18: FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING. PRINICPLES What is the definition of a principle? A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649edb5503460f94bebc8f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Upper Body Positions
Finger angle: This should mirror your sub-section angle
Cutting Below the Finger: Used for control when cutting a one length below the shoulder. Low elevation
![Page 19: FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING. PRINICPLES What is the definition of a principle? A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649edb5503460f94bebc8f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Cutting Over the Fingers: Used for greater control when elevating hair in the upper portion of the head.
![Page 20: FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING. PRINICPLES What is the definition of a principle? A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649edb5503460f94bebc8f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Palm to Palm: For control when working on the lower half of the head. Used with graduation , layering and shorter lengths
Tension: Amount of pressure used when holding or stretching the hair.
![Page 21: FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING. PRINICPLES What is the definition of a principle? A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649edb5503460f94bebc8f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Lower Body PositionFirst Position• Straight with your feet hip width apart• knees should be slightly bent and your weight
centered. • Shoulders should be relaxed and away from your ears. • Stand with the section you are working on in front of
you
![Page 22: FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING. PRINICPLES What is the definition of a principle? A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649edb5503460f94bebc8f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Lunge Position• Lower your body while keeping your back straight• Lower your perspective to observe the cutting line• Used with one length above the shoulder• Non dominant leg in front with a slight bend at the
knee; dominant leg thrust backward with foot turned out slightly
• Weight is distributed evenly between both legs
![Page 23: FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING. PRINICPLES What is the definition of a principle? A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649edb5503460f94bebc8f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Crossover One: • Stand on a diagonal with feet slightly wider than
shoulder width apart • Your upper body will be straight • Shoulders should be relaxed and away from your ears• Best position to cut will be to shift your weight to your
non-dominant leg bending your knee.
![Page 24: FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR CUTTING. PRINICPLES What is the definition of a principle? A PRINCIPLE is a fundamental law or assumption about how something works](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649edb5503460f94bebc8f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Crossover Two: • Shift your non dominate leg across your body so
that it is in front of your dominate leg • Stand on a diagonal• Adjust the foot on your dominant leg so that you are
balanced, and your weight is distributed evenly
