Design Shape of Combining the Uniform Layer Cut and Graduated Cut according to the Length, Head Area Division, and Slice Line

Abstract

Purpose: This study focused on the combination of uniform layer cut and graduated cut to provide basic data on haircuts by demonstrating design changes according to the hair length, head area division, and slice lines.Methods: The head area was divided into the top golden medium point, golden point, and golden back medium point. The upper part of the head was used for the graduated cut with a head angle of 75°, and the lower part was used for the uniform layer cut with a head angle of 90°. Slice line A, parallel line, and V-line were applied only to the top of the head. The cut was started based on the sites 15, 20, and 25 cm from the nape point.Results: The A line became longer as the hair length reached the face line. Consequently, the face and neck lines were covered, and the weight, volume, and expansion were increased. The V-line became shorter, as the hair length reached the face line. Thus, the face and neck lines are prominent, and the volume feeling is increased because of the curling phenomenon. As the point of the head area division increased, the hair length became shorter, and volume and vitality increased. As the point of the head area division went down, the hair length became longer, and the volume, weight, and expansion increased. A graduated high angle of treatment was formed by the lightness at the bottom and the volume by the weight line at the top. The uniform layer showed a rough texture with rhythm, lightness, and round shape.Conclusion: The top and golden points where the head shape protrudes during cutting should be cut more precisely. The cut line is not slick as the incline is severe. Combing and posture are more important than cutting. When combing once, exercise care when combing from the roots, and during cutting, stand in front of the body while changing the body’s position. This study verified creative haircuts.
