Angle at which the fingers are held when cutting, and ultimately, the line that is cut; also known as finger angle, ginger position, cutting position or cutting angle |
|
|
Distribution |

|
|
Interior Guideline |
Guideline that is inside the haircut rather than on the perimeter |

|
Layered Haircut |
Graduated effect achieved by cutting the hair with elevation or overdirection; the hair is cut at higher elevation usually 90 degrees or above which removes weight |
|
|
Layers |
Create movement and volume in the hair by releasing weight |
|
|
Line |
Thin continuous mark used as a guide, can be straight or curved, horizontal, vertical or diagonal |
