ANATOMY OF THE HEAD
Reference Points : points on the head where the surface of the head changes, such
as the ears, jawline, occipital bone, or apex; helps you find the balance within a
design so that both sides of the haircut turn out the same; used to establish design
lines .
Parietal ridge - widest area of the head; starts at the temples and ends at the
bottom of the crown; also referred to as crest area; found by placing the comb
flat on the side of the head .
Occipital bone - bone that protrudes at the base of the skull .
Apex / Top - highest point on the top of the head ..
Crown- the area between the apex and the back of the parietal ridge; on
many people this is the site of whorls or cowlicks; pay close
attention to the
crown when haircutting.
Nape- back part of the neck; hair below the occipital bone; can be found by
making a horizontal line across the occipital bone.
Sides- includes all of the hair from the back of the ear forward, below the
parietal ridge.
Bang area / Fringe - also known as fringe area; the triangular area that
begins at the apex and ends at the front corners .
Sections , Subsections for hair cutting
Sections : - Dividing the hair into small parts for cutting is called as sections .
Subsections : - smaller sections within a larger section of hair; used to
maintain control of the hair when cutting .

Lines and Angles :
Angle - space between two lines or surfaces that intersect at a given point;
important element in creating a strong foundation and consistency in haircutting .
The two basic lines used in haircutting are straight and curved.
1. Horizontal lines - parallel to the horizon or floor; direct the eye from one side the
other; used to create one-length and low elevation haircuts and to add weight .
2. Vertical lines - up and down lines; perpendicular to the floor; remove weight to
create graduated or layered haircuts; used with higher elevations .
2. Graduation : Hair is lifted to a certain level to create built up weight , The degree range
0 to 89 degree difference between two hair is short ( Medium hair )
3. Layer : Hair is lifted perpendicular to the head ( 90 to 180 degree )
This is mainly done to remove weight , difference between two hair is long.
( Thick hair / High density )
NAME OF THE HAIR CUT AS PER DEGREE
Layering : They are of 3 types . When we lift all hair up ward the shape it’s
layering
1. Stationary guideline : It is a fixed guideline for multiple sections , mainly used for one
length , face farming etc .
2. Travelling / mobile guideline : Here guideline change section by section , mainly used
in transient cut , round layer etc .
3. Over direction : Change direction of hair while maintaining degree is called over
direction .
a. Forward over direction : when back hair are diverted at front .
b. Back over direction : when front hair are diverted at back .
CLIENT CONSULTATION :
A consultation is a conversation between the stylist and the client where the stylist finds
out what the client wants and then is able to offer suggestions and professional advice
about the most suitable haircut.
Face Shape :
To analyze the shape of the face, pull all the hair away from the face with a clip or
wrap the hair in a towel; look for the widest areas, the narrowest areas, and the
balance of the features *Remember that hair shrinks. Always cut wet hair ¼” to ½”
longer that the desired length; curly hair shrinks ½” to 2”.
Hair Analysis :
There are four characteristics that determine the behavior of hair. They are: hairlines and
growth patterns, density, texture, and elasticity.
Hairline - hair that grows at the outermost perimeter along the face, around the
ears, and on the neck
Growth pattern- direction in which hair grows from the scalp; also referred to as
natural fall or natural falling position
Wave pattern - amount of movement in a hair strand
Hair density - number of individual hair strands on one square inch of scalp;
usually described as low , normal , or high .
Hair texture - diameter of each hair strand; described as thick , medium, or fine .
Hair cutting precautions
Hair is any long cylindrical, keratinized strand /shaft which grows on the 1st
layer of skin called Epidermis and grows from the 2nd layer of skin called
Dermis. Due to absence of the nerve there is no sense of feeling in the hair shaft
which grows above the skin surface.
Functions of hair :
a) Protection
b) Regulation of temperature
c) Evaporation of perspiration
d) Acts like a sensory organ
e) Facial expressions
f) Visual identification
g) Helps in attraction
Composition of hair : Physical
Keratin - 80 %
Moisture & Lipids - 15 %
Vitamins & minerals - 4%
Pigments ( Melanin , Color ) - 1%
Moisture : It is made up of water and lipids which comes from sebum and oil.
Pigments: It gives color to our hair like red, blue and yellow. Our hair is a
combination of these 3 colors.
Carbon - 51 %
Oxygen - 21 %
Nitrogen - 17 %
Hydrogen - 6%
Sulfur - 5%
Division of hair
HAIR SHAFT : The hair Part located over the body surface of the skin is called
hair shaft . It has no nerves. This is our department; we work on this part of hair.
HAIR ROOT : The hair Part located beneath the body surface of the skin is called
hair root . there are contains live cells , nerves , blood vessels etc . when we pull
the hair we feel pain . ( Not our department)
Division of hair Shaft : for hair stylist
Hair are distributed all over the body except the palms of hand , soul of feet , lip , eyelids
There are three types of hair length : -
1 . LONG HAIR :
3. VELLUS HAIR :
Hair shape
Cross shape of hair when put under the microscope shows that :
Hairline : The edges of head shape .Also known as ‘Perimeter’ . Direction of this is our
natural fall
Hair follicle is set on an angle beneath the surface the skin / scalp , which decides
the flow of the hair growth .
(The direction of hair depends on the angle from which the hair is coming out )
Hair stream - Natural flow of the hair in direction , It is called hair stream .
1. Anagen : -
It is also known as active stage , growth stage, etc. The hair grows in
this stage . The reproduction is fast. Generally Asians have bigger hair
growth cycles . In this stage hair grows at least ½ inch every month for
healthy hair. 90% hair is in this stage. Approximate duration : 2-6
years (exceptions may happen)
3. Talogen : -
It is also known as resting phase. This is the resting phase before hair falls
and starts new hair growth. 8-10 % hair is this stage. Approximate duration :
2-4 months.
New hair shaft grows along side the old hair shaft forcing it to fall down
Hair root
Hair root : Also known as hair follicle . Hair shaft grows from here . It is a sack life
organ which grows in our dermal layer. Follicles regulates hair growth with help of
hormones , Neuropeptide (protein like nerve cell), immune cells (WBC). It also
determines texture. It gets strength from protein (Keratin). It gets nourishment
from capillaries . (capillaries= it carries blood)
Hair papilla :
It is a like corn structure
Located at the bottom of the hair follicle
Produces hair cells and boosts new growth
It supply nourishment to the hair shaft through blood vessels
( It is a corn shaped part which supplies blood and oxygen to hair follicles. It also makes
hair cells . It is at the end of follicles. It gives nourishment )
Hair bulb :
It is thick part at the lower part of the hair root
It is hollow
It fits over the hair papilla and protects it
( It covers the papilla . There is hair matrix inside hair bulb. Melanocytes are made
in hair matrix. Melanocytes make hair pigments. Our hair shaft grows from this )
Hair follicle :
It is a tube like pocket in skin and scalp which holds the hair root
Set on an angle , So hair flows in one direction
Depth and thickness of hair follicle is different for different body parts
Sebaceous glands :
Are the oil glands that secrete oil called sebum
Normal sebum gives shine and luster to the skin and hair
Over secretion of sebum can cause dandruff and oily scalp / skin
( It creates an oil called Sebum. It has cells named sebocytes which produce
Sebum . It consists of wax , fatty acids, etc. It gives shine and lustre to hair. It
lubricates our and keeps skin soft. Excess production of sebum gives an oily
skin. Less production gives dry skin . It keeps our hair and skin waterproof )
It is a small muscle that is connected with the hair follicle and skin
It contracts due to fear and cold making the hair stand up straight
(It gives Goosebumps. Our vellus hair stands up. When it stands up that area gets
contracted as heat stays inside . It is attached to hair follicle )
Epidermis : -
Outer most layer of the skin / scalp from where the hair growth out
Cross section
Pigment : The natural hair color is the result of the pigments (melanocytes) located within the
cortex. The pigments consist of melanin (colored substances) present in the hair in a diffused or
granular form. These are not water soluble but they are soluble in strong acids and the color may
be removed with hydrogen peroxide. Melanocytes synthesize two main types of melanin:
a. Hydrogen Bond:
These bonds are the most flexible and are easily broken in the presence of water and heat. These
account for 30% of hair strength. Hydrogen bonds allows hair to change shape temporarily and
produces strong hold. For Eg: When wet hair is set in rollers until it dries, hydrogen re-bonding
occurs but in new "shape". Hydrogen bonding is the reason why hair frizzes and curls falls and hair
can be manipulated into various hair styles.
b. Salt Bonds :
These bonds are abundant throughout the cortex.
Salt bonds account for 1/3 of the hair's strength. They are broken by pH changes in the hair.
Readjusting the hair's pH will reform and stabilize these bonds.
c. Disulfide Bonds :
Disulfide bonds are also known as CYSTINE BONDS or SULFUR BOND. These are the strongest
bonds and accounts for 90% of the hair's strength. The more disulfide is in hair fiber, the more
curlier and kinkier the hair would be. These bonds cannot be broken by water or heat. These can be
broken only by chemical agents such as perms, relaxers or color. For Eg:- If a person with curly hair
wants straight hair, chemicals which can break up or "relax these bonds would be used. After the
disulfide bonds break, relaxers "cap" the bonds so that they cannot reform again. Once broken,
disulfide bonds cannot be reformed.
To keep the bonds of the hair strong healthy hair pH (4.5-5.5) must be maintained so that they may
maintain proper moisture retention
Fiber : These are responsible for strength and elasticity . It is made of cortical cells . If
fiber is weak , hair becomes brittle . It is made in hair matrix. Made of protein , cortical
cells ,etc.
Medulla :
It is inner most layer of the hair shaft
It is hollow space
It is present in thick hair but absent in fine hair
Scientists say that it provides nourishment to the hair
Stronger the medulla , tighter the curls
Power of hydrogen / Potential hydrogen

HAIR ANALYSIS
Texture :
Feel the hair by touching
Straight , wavy , curly , afro curly
Elasticity :
Ability of the hair to stretch and return to the same condiction without breaking
It determines the strength of the hair
Porosity :
Ability of the hair to hold moisture
Normal porous hair is the best hair
It can be checked by shine of hair
If the hair is high or low porous then you will face problems while styling
Density :
It is the denseness of the hair
This can be checked by lifting a section and checking the density of the hair
high, normal , low
Diameter :
It is the thickness of the hair
Thick , medium , fine
History :
It is the history of the clients hair
This can be done by asking questions for previous treatment
Deep study of cuticle / Layers of cuticle
Epicuticle - The outer layer . It is made of Lipids (85% fatty acids) , fibrous proteins.
It protects hair from outer chemical attacks .
1) Macrofibrille
2) Microfibrille
3) Protofibrille
4) Double spirale
5) Polly peptide chain
6) Amino acid
Polly peptide chain :
Amino acid :
= Secondary color =
When two primary color is mixed in an equal proportion secondary color is formed .
(1:1)
Secondary colors are the human made colors .
Red + Blue = Violet , Red + Yellow = Orange , Blue + Yellow = Green .
= Tertiary color =
When one primary color and it’s adjacent secondary color is mixed in equal proportion
tertiary color is formed .
These colors are used to understand the undertones of the hair .
Yellow + Green = Yellow green , Yellow + Orange = Yellow orange , Blue + Violet = Blue
violet , Blue + Green = Blue green , Red + Orange = Red orange , Red + Violet = Red Violet.
= Complimentary color =
When one primary color and it’s opposite secondary color is mixed in an equal proportion
complimentary color is formed .
Complimentary colors are the neutralizing colors .
~
Warm color – The colors that are bright to the eyes , the colors of sun .
Eg . Red , Orange , Yellow .
Cool color - The colors that are easy on the eyes , the shade of sea water or tree .
Eg . Blue , Violet , Green .
International color chat
…………………………………………………………………
It is the language of the hairstylists to understand the basic color of the client .
Consists the shade of brown that go from black to blonde .
ICC followed by every company in the world .
Numbering system is use to determine the base color and name .
Numbers are 1 -10 , 1 is the darkest and 10 is the lightest .
Undertones :-
Undertones are the dominant underlying pigments in a particular base color .
Undertones are the color which are visible to the naked eyes .
Reflections are the additional tint which is added with the base color for extra
shine or neutralizing .
These are demi pigments colors , last up to 20 – 25 wash .
Different companies use different denominations and numbers to indicate the
reflection .
Reflections are used to add color and tone down .
Note :-
Eg. / 7 = Brown
/ 77 = Intense brown
/ 46 = Red violet
