Ability to recreate the same haircut
Showing where and when it is necessary to change technique to make up for irregularities in the head form.

Front 26

What are the standard reference points and how do you locate them?

Parietal ridge- widest area of the head starting at the temples and ending at the bottom of the crown.
To locate place a comb flat on the side of the head, where the head curves away.
Occipital Bone-bone that protrudes at the base of the skull. Place comb against the nape, where the comb leaves the head
Apex-
Highest point on top of head. Place comb on top of head and the comb will rest on the highest point
Four corners- Where the unsupported areas are in the hair, found by placing two combs flat against side and back
