Merry Christmas everyone and have a blessed New Year. We last talked about movement as it pertains in constructing a haircut. Before we go further in this concept I must note that all haircuts start with vision and taste that is appropriate for ther client. You can have the most creative haircut applied to the wrong head shape and client which will spell disaster and wasted effort. It’s understanding the texture you are working with so you will know what technique to apply for your shape. This is why one must know principles of movement as pertains to elevation,overdirection and finger angle . This will enable to guide your judgement in making decisions throughout your hair design. Elevation creates graduation or layers ,overdirection creates length and weight in a section you are cutting. Last of all finger angle which creates volume and depth within a shape. Did you notice the key word in describing what those three principles do ? It was the word CREATE this is what you want to achieve when you design your haircut. You want to control the placement of layers, length and volume inside your haircut giving your client a more personalized haircut for 2010.I use this same concept in my soon released dvd using the sixties layering technique shows how that is achieved visually on dense wavy hair transformed into a post modern cut. Remember if you know the principles of design and you can visualize it you can cut it . My next post will be coloring relaxed hair.
