Question 1
What cutting elevation produces a one-length or blunt haircut with maximum weight and no layering?
Answer
0-degree elevation (also called natural fall or no elevation) produces a one-length blunt cut where all hair falls to the same line with maximum weight.
Question 2
At what degree of elevation is hair held straight out from the head to create a uniform layer cut?
Answer
90-degree elevation holds hair perpendicular to the head, creating a uniform or equal-length layer cut throughout.
Question 3
What type of haircut is created when hair is elevated above 90 degrees, such as at 180 degrees?
Answer
Elevating hair above 90 degrees (up to 180 degrees) creates an over-directed or graduated cut where interior layers are shorter than the exterior, producing a long-layered effect.
Question 4
What elevation angle is used to create a low-graduation or stacked cut that builds weight at the perimeter?
Answer
45-degree elevation creates a low-graduation (stacked) cut, building a weight line and creating layers that are shorter on top and longer toward the perimeter.
Question 5
What is the term for the line along which hair is combed to create tension before making a cut?
Answer
The cutting line (or parting line) is the line along which hair is combed and held in tension before the shears make the cut.
