Across
  1. 3. Haircutting technique, a version of point cutting, in which the tips of the scissors are moved toward the hair ends rather than into them; creates a chunkier effect.
  2. 4. Haircutting technique in which pieces of hair are snipped out at random intervals.
  3. 8. Also known as shear-over-comb; haircutting technique in which the hair is held in place with the comb while the tips of the scissors are used to remove the lengths.
  4. 9. Haircutting technique designed to remove excess bulk without shortening the length; changing the appearance or behavior of the hair through specific haircutting techniques using shears, thinning shears, or a razor.
  5. 11. Graduated shape or wedge; an effect or haircut that results from cutting the hair with tension, low to medium elevation, or overdirection.
  6. 12. Method of cutting or thinning the hair in which the fingers and shears glide along the edge of the hair to remove length.
  7. 13. Visual line in the haircut where the ends of the hair hang together.
Down
  1. 1. Haircut in which the hair is cut at a 180-degree angle; the resulting shape has shorter layers at the top and increasingly longer layers toward the perimeter.
  2. 2. Also known as a one-length haircut; haircut in which all the hair comes to one hanging level, forming a weight line or area; hair is cut with no elevation or overdirection.
  3. 5. Haircutting technique in which the tips of the shears are used to cut points into the ends of the hair.
  4. 6. Haircutting technique done by placing the still blade into the hair and resting it on the scalp, and then moving the shears through the hair while opening and partially closing the shears.
  5. 7. Also known as effilating; process of thinning the hair to graduated lengths with shears; cutting the hair with a sliding movement of the shears while keeping the blades partially opened.
  6. 10. Haircutting technique that removes bulk and adds movement through the lengths of the hair; the shears are not completely closed, and only the portion of the blades near the pivot is used.
  7. 14. Graduated effect achieved by cutting the hair with elevation or overdirection; the hair is cut at higher elevations, usually 90 degrees or above, which removes weight.
