Question 1
What term describes the angle at which the fingers are held when cutting a section of hair?
Answer: Cutting angle (also called finger angle or cutting line). It determines the shape and weight distribution of the finished haircut.
Question 2
What is 'elevation' in hair cutting?
Answer: Elevation is the angle at which a section of hair is held, or lifted, away from the head before cutting. It controls weight and graduation in the haircut.
Question 3
What type of haircut is produced when hair is cut at 0-degree elevation (no lift)?
Answer: A one-length or blunt cut is produced. All hair falls to the same level, creating maximum weight and a clean, even line.
Question 4
At what elevation angle is a uniform layered haircut typically cut?
Answer: A uniform layered cut is typically cut at 90-degree elevation (straight out from the head), removing weight and creating even layering throughout.
Question 5
What is the term for the line that divides the hair into sections for a systematic haircut?
Answer: A parting (or part) is the line that divides the hair into workable sections. Consistent partings ensure even, precise results.
