Chapter 9: Principles of Hair Design
1. In the context of hair design, which statement best describes emphasis?:
It is where the eye is drawn first before traveling to the rest of the
design
2. Which curl pattern and/or texture does not reflect light?: Highly textured/
Afro hair
3. Which facial type is characterized by a narrow forehead, extreme
width through the cheekbones, and a narrow chin?: The diamond facial
type
4. In the context of the principles of hair design, is the
comparative relationship of one thing to another: Proportion
5. In the context of basic profiles, a(n) neither curves outward nor
curves inward, although it has a very slight curvature: Straight profile
6. Horizontal and vertical lines meeting at a 90-degree angle: Contrasting
lines
7. Lines with a definite forward or backward movement: Directional lines
8. Repeating lines in a hairstyle, whether straight or curved: Parallel lines
9. Curved lines that are frequently used to texturize a haircut: Transitional
lines
10.Most often used in one-length, blunt hairstyles: Single lines
11.Create length and height in a hair design: Vertical lines
12.Create width in hair design: Horizontal lines
13.Create movement toward the face: Diagonal forward lines
14.Create movement away from the face: Diagonal back lines
15.Soften a design: Curved lines
16.Apex: Highest point on top of the head
17.Asymmetrical balance: Established when two imaginary halves of a
hairstyle have an equal weight, but the two halves are positioned
unevenly; asymmetry can be horizontal or diagonal
18.Balance: Related to establishing equal or appropriate proportions
to create symmetry; in hairstyling, it is the relationship of height to
width
19.Bang area: Also known as fringe area; triangular section that begins
at the apex, or high point of the head, and ends at the front corners
20.Concave profile: Curving inward; prominent forehead and chin, with
other fea- tures receded
21.Contrasting lines: Horizontal and vertical lines that meet at a 90-
degree angle and create a hard edge
22.Convex profile: Curving outward; receding forehead and chin
23.Curved lines: Lines moving in a circular or semicircular direction;

used to soften a design
24.Design line: Defines form and space; presence of one line nearly
always means that there are others involved
25.Design philosophy: Includes objectives, goals, and step-by-step
planning de- veloped by artists to mold their unique vision into a piece
of art
