| A good haircut begins with an understanding of the: | head form |
| The areas of the head where the surface of the head changes are | reference points |
| In the haircutting procedure, reference points are used to establish: | design lines |
| The widest part of the head, also known as the crest area, is the: | parietal ridge |
| The bone that protrudes at the base of the skull is the | occipital bone |
| The highest point at the top of the head is the: | apex |
| The reference point that signals a change in head shape from flat to round or vice versa is the: | four corners |
| The area at the back part of the neck below the occipital bone is the: | nape area |
| The triangle section that begins at the apex and ends at the front corners is the: | fringe area |
| A thin continuous mark that is used throughout a haircut is called a: | line |
| The space between two lines or surfaces that intersect at the given point is an: | angle |
| The straight lines used to build weight or create a one-length or low-elevation haircut are: | horizontal lines |
| The straight lines used to remove weight or create graduated layers are: | vertical lines |
| The haircutting technique using diagonal lines to create fullness and blend long layers into short layers is: | beveling |
| For control during haircutting, the hair is divided into uniform working areas called: | sections |
| The angle or degree at which a subsection of hair is held while cutting is: | elevation |
| Elevating the hair at 90 degrees or higher during a haircut results in the removal of: | weight, or layering the hair |
| The angle at which the fingers are held when performing a haircut is the: | cutting line |
| The first section cut when creating a shape is the: | guideline |
| The outer line of a haircut is referred to as the: | perimeter |
| The guideline used when creating layers or a graduated cut is a: | traveling guideline |
| The technique of combing hair away from its natural falling position, rather than straight out from the head toward a guideline, is: | overdirection |
| A conversation where the stylist offers professional advice and suggestions to the client is the: | client consultation |
| For a client with long face, the stylist would recommend a style that: | adds fullness on the sides to add width |
| To compensate for shrinkage associated with curly hair, the stylist should allow for shrinkage of: | 1/2 inch to 2 inches |
| The direction that hair grows from the scalp into a natural falling position is the: | growth pattern |
| The number of individual hair strands on one square inch of scalp is hair: | density |
| The haircutting tool with large teeth set far apart, designed to remove a significant amount of hair, is: | notching shears |
| A small haircutting tool used to create crisp outlines is a: | trimmer |
| The haircutting tool used for close tapers in the scissor-over-comb technique is the: | barber comb |
| The hand that holds the shears, parts the hair, and cuts the hair during the cutting procedure is called the: | dominant hand |
| The technique where the comb and shears are held closed in the dominant hand at the same time is called: | palming the shears |
| The technique used to free up the dominant cutting hand to cut a subsection is called: | transferring the comb |
| A haircutting tool used for detailing and texturizing or an entire haircut is the: | straight razor |
| The term used to describe the pressure applied to hair when combing or holding a subsection is: | tension |
| When cutting straight hair to create a precise design line, use: | maximum tension |
| When cutting hair, a general rule of thumb is to stand or sit: | directly in front of the area you are cutting |
| In cutting uniform or increasing layers, the hand position most often used is cutting: | over the fingers |
| The technique of cutting below the fingers or inside the knuckles using a horizontal cutting line creates: | heavier graduated haircut or a one-length bob |
| A haircutting technique that maintains control of a subsection with regard to elevations and overdirection is: | cutting palm-to-palm |
| When cutting below the finger, to prevent cutting the soft and fleshy part of the finger, avoid cutting past: | the second knuckle |
| The visual line in a haircut, where the ends of the hair hang together, is the: | weight line |
| A haircut achieved using a stationary guide and zero or no elevation and the hair comes to one hanging level is a: | blunt cut |
| In a graduated haircut, the most common elevation used is: | 45 degree |
| Parting the haircut in the opposite way it was cut to check for precision of line and shape is: | cross-checking |
| The area of the head that has the most irregular growth patterns is the: | crown |
| In using the wide teeth of a comb when cutting, comb the section first with the fine teeth and then: | turn the comb around and comb with the wide teeth |
| In general a razor should not be used on curly hair as it will: | weaken the cuticle and cause the hair to frizz |
| The term used to describe how hair is moved over the head is: | natural distribution |
| When working with a razor, the ends are cut at an angle producing a softer shape with more visible separation or: | feathered effect |
| A method of cutting or thinning hair where the fingers and shears glide along the edge of the hair to remove length is: | slide cutting |
| The scissors-over-comb technique uses the comb to hold the hair in place and allows cutting from: | extremely short to longer lengths |
| The technique of removing excess bulk or cutting for effect without shortening hair length is: | texturizing |
| Vertical point cutting performed with shears on the ends of hair: | removes less hair |
| When performing the notching technique of texturizing with shears, the tips of the shears shoudl be held: | 2 inches from the ends |
| Thinning hair to graduated lengths using a slicing movement with shear blades partially open is: | slithering |
| The slicing technique removes bulk and adds: | movement through the lengths of the hair |
| When performing the slicing technique on the surface of the haircut, it is best to work on: | dry hair |
| A version of the slicing technique that creates a visual separation in the hair is: | carving |
| A tool attached to clippers that cuts the hair to the exact length is: | length guard attachment |
| With a regular cutting comb, the finer shaped teeth are geared for detailing, and the wider spaced teeth are geared for: | combing and cutting |
| When using the clipper-over-comb technique, the length is determined by the: | angle of the comb |
| Cutting hair at the same length consistently, using a 90 degree elevation, produces a: | uniform layer |
| In the carving technique, to remove less hair, the scissors should be held: | more vertical |
| Clippers and trimmers should be cleaned and the detachable blade and heel disinfected: | after each use |
