Cosmetology 105.2

Structure

In hair sculpting; the arrangement of lengths across the various curves of the head

Solid Form

Lengths that progress from shorter in the exterior to longer in the interior; all lengths fall to the same level in natural fall

Graduated Form

Shorter exterior lengths that gradually progress towards longer interior lengths; ends appear to stack up along one another at an angle

Increase-layered form

Consists of shorter interior lengths that progress towards longer exterior lengths

Uniformly layered form

Consists of same length throughout; results in a totally activated surface with no discernable weight

Square (rectilinear) form

Combination form created by using the planar sculping technique; also known as rectilinear form/box cut; may be refined in solid form

Form Line

Outer boundary/silhouette of a form/shape

Texture

Degree of a coarseness/fineness in the hair fiber

Crest Area

Wildest area around the head; divides the interior from the exterior

Level Of Observation

System designers use for studying, categorizing & communicating the reality around them in a common language, basic detail and abstract

Interior

Area of the head ABOVE the crest area

Exterior

Area of the head BELOW the crest area

Weight

Created by the concentration of length within a given area of a sculpted form

Shape

Two-dimensional representation of form consisting of length & width, silhouette/outer boundary; the contour of an object

Natural Fall

Describes the hair as lengths lay or fall over the curves of the head; projection used for solid form

Normal Projection

The way the analyze the structure/length arrangement of a hair sculpture

Combination Form

Two or more of the four basic forms within a (hair) sculpture; the proportional relationship of each form within a combination produces the shape, texture, & position of weight in the final design

Hair Sculpting

Artistic carving/removing of hair lengths to create various forms & shapes; known as haircutting

Structure Graphic

Diagram that provides an abstract view of the length arrangement of a hair sculpture to scale & proportion

Gradation

Very short version of the graduated form; achieved w/ over comb techniques; also known as tapering
