When performing a razor cut on fine hair, what is the most important consideration?
Answer: Use light strokes to avoid over-thinning
Light razor strokes on fine hair prevent over-thinning and unwanted frizz or damage.
Which technique is used to blend a haircut seamlessly between two different lengths?
Answer: Graduation
Graduation creates a smooth weight transition between shorter and longer sections of hair.
What is the purpose of using a diffuser attachment when blow-drying curly hair?
Answer: To dry hair while preserving natural curl definition
A diffuser disperses airflow gently, reducing frizz and maintaining curl integrity during drying.
In a reverse graduation cut, where is the weight concentrated?
Answer: At the perimeter (exterior)
Reverse graduation builds weight at the perimeter by directing interior layers shorter than the outline.
Which sectioning pattern is most appropriate when creating a precision bob?
Answer: Horizontal sections from nape to top
Horizontal sections ensure consistent length control and a clean, even perimeter line in a bob.
What does 'over-direction' in haircutting refer to?
Answer: Pulling hair away from its natural fall to create length variation
Over-direction means displacing hair from its natural position to intentionally create longer or shorter areas once it falls back.
When using a flat iron to create beach waves, which technique is most effective?
Answer: Rotating the iron 180° while gliding down the section
Rotating the flat iron 180° while moving down creates an S-wave pattern that mimics natural beach waves.
