Lesson
INTRODUCTION TO
1 HAIRSTYLING
A hairstyle, hairdo, or haircut refers to the styling of hair, usually on the
human scalp. Sometimes, this could also mean an editing of facial or body hair.
The oldest known depiction of hair styling is hair braiding which dates back about
30,000 years. The Cultural Significance of Hair For humans, haircut, hairstyle, or
hairdo normally describe cutting or styling head hair. Unlike other animals, human
beings of many cultures cut their hair, rather than letting it grow naturally. Hair
styles are often used to signal cultural, social, and ethnic identity. Men and women
naturally have the same hair but generally hairstyles conform to cultural standards
of gender. Hair styles in both men and women also vary with current fashion trends
and are often used to determine social status.

HAIR STYLIST DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Hair Stylists work with customers to help them achieve the look they want. Hair
Stylist duties and responsibilities include:
 Shampoo, cut, dye and style hair. Apply chemicals to change texture of hair.
 Work with razors, trimmers, and other implements to achieve desired looks.

4
  Ensure work areas are clean and in alignment with applicable health and
safety regulations.

FUNDAMENTALS OF HAIR STYLING

WHY STUDY PRINCIPLES OF HAIR DESIGN?

As a cosmetologist, you should study and have a thorough understanding of the
principles of hair design because:
■■ You will be better able to understand why a particular hairstyle will or
will not be the best choice for a client.
■■ The principles of design will serve as helpful guidelines to assist you in
achieving your styling vision.
■■ You will be able to create haircuts and styles designed to help clients
camouflage unattractive features while emphasizing attractive ones.

PHILOSOPHY OF DESIGN
A good designer always envisions the result before beginning. But it needs
inspiration to spark the creative process. One of the best sources of inspiration can
be found in nature. The rhythm and movement of ocean waves can inspire the
hairstylists. The shapes, colors, patterns, and textures of plants, animals, and
minerals are also a great source of visual ideas. At times, you may find yourself
looking to the past for inspiration. A hairstyle from an earlier era might inspire you
to reinvent a way that works for today. Modern inspiration in fashion often starts
on the streets and in the clubs. Hair design usually follows fashion trends to create
the total look. Once inspired, you will need to decide which tools and techniques—
such as cutting shears, flat irons, permanent wave, and so forth—are needed to
achieve your design. It is always a good idea when working out a design to first
practice on a mannequin head. As you develop or practice a technique, there is
always the chance that your original concept will turn into something entirely
different. There are no failures if the experience is a lesson learned. If you are open
to change, the creative process will be exciting and satisfying. As a designer, you
will need to develop a visual understanding of which hairstyles work best on
different face shapes and body types. It takes time and experience to train your eye
to recognize the best design decision. You cannot achieve a trained eye simply
through book learning. It may help you to review these pages over and over, but do
not get frustrated if it takes a while to understand this chapter. Sometimes the best
teacher is time and the trial-and-error process that comes through experience. All
good stylists have made a significant number of design mistakes in the past—great
stylists learn and grow from each experience. Having a strong design foundation
will help make you a great stylist. Once you have these skills, your creative juices
will kick in and you can move beyond the basics. Having a strong foundation in
technique and skills will allow you to take calculated risks. It is important in this
field to take those risks. Too many stylists confine themselves to the basics, where
they feel safe. But “safe” can translate into “dull.” If you are looking for a satisfying,
long-term career, do not allow yourself to become what is known in the beauty
industry as a cookie-cutter hair designer who learns a new haircut and then gives

5
it to everyone who sits in his or her chair for the next month. Always explore new
possibilities and customize your design to each client’s individual needs and
lifestyle. Think outside of the box! Great hairstylists find inspiration everywhere by
keeping an eye out for what is new in the beauty industry and by dedicating
themselves to their continuing education. You can keep growing by having your
eyes and mind always open to learning.

ELEMENTS OF HAIR DESIGN

To begin to understand the creative process involved in hairstyling, it is critical to
learn the five basic elements of three-dimensional design. These elements are line,
form, space, texture, and color.

LINE - defines form and space. Lines create shape, design, and movement of
a hairstyle. The eye follows the lines in a design. They can be
straight or curved.

4 Basic Types of Lines

HORIZONTAL LINES

- It creates width in hair design, extends in the

same direction and maintain a constant
distance apart, from the floor or horizon

VERTICAL LINES

- create length and height in hair design. It

makes a hairstyle appear longer and narrower
as the eye follows the lines up and down.

DIAGONAL LINES
- are positioned between horizontal and vertical
lines. It is often used to emphasize or minimize
facial features. It is also used to create interest
in hair design.

CURVED LINES
- it softens the design. Can be large or small, a
full circle, or just part of a circle. It can be
placed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
When it is repeated in the opposite directions it
will create a wave.

6
Other Lines Used in Hair Design

SINGLE LINES - An PARALLEL LINES - are repeating lines

example of this is the in a hairstyle. They can be straight or
one-length hairstyle. curved. The repetition of lines creates
These hairstyles are best more interest in the design. A finger
for clients requiring the wave is an example of a style using
lowest maintenance curved, parallel lines. Contrasting lines
when styling their hair. are horizontal and vertical lines that
meet at a 90-degree angle. These lines
create a hard edge.
CONTRASTING LINES - TRANSITIONAL LINES -
in a design are usually are usually curved lines
for clients able to carry that are used to blend
off a strong look. and soften horizontal or
vertical lines.

DIRECTIONAL LINES - are lines with a

definite forward or backward movement.

FORM - Form is the mass or general

outline of a hairstyle. It is three
dimensional and has length,
width, and depth. Form or
mass may also be called
volume. The silhouette is
usually the part of the overall
design that a client will respond
to first. Generally, simple forms
are best to use and are more
pleasing to the eye. The hair
form should be in proportion to
the shape of the head and face,
the length and width of the
neck, and the shoulder line.

7
. SPACE - Is the area surrounding the form or the area the hairstyle occupies.
We are more aware of the (positive) form than the (negative) spaces.
In hair design, with every movement the relationship of the form
and space change. A hairstylist must keep every angle in mind—
not only of the forms being created, but of the spaces surrounding
the forms as well. The space may contain curls, curves, waves,
straight hair, or any combination.

DESIGN TEXTURE - refers to wave patterns that must be taken into

consideration when designing a style for your client. All hair has a
natural wave pattern—straight, wavy, curly, or extremely curly. For
example, straight hair reflects light better than other wave patterns,
and straight hair reflects the lightest when it is cut to a single length.
Wavy hair can be combed into waves that create horizontal lines. Curly
hair and extremely curly hair do not reflect much light and can be
coarse to the touch. Curly hair creates a larger form than straight or
wavy hair does.
Straight hair reflects light. Curly hair takes up more space.

1. CREATING DESIGN - Texture with Styling Tools Texture can be created

temporarily with the use of heat and/or wet styling techniques. Curling irons
or hot rollers can be used to create a wave or curl. Curly hair can be
straightened with a blow dryer or flat iron. Crimping irons are used to create
interesting and unusual wave patterns like zigzags. Hair can also be wet set
with rollers or pin curls to create curls and waves. Finger waves, braids, and
locks are another way of creating temporary textured pattern changes.

8
 2. CHANGING DESIGN - Texture with Chemicals wave pattern changes are
considered permanent. They last until the new growth of hair is long enough
to alter the design. Curly hair can be straightened with relaxers, and straight
hair can be curled with permanent waves.

TIPS FOR DESIGNING WITH WAVE PATTERNS

When using many wave pattern combinations together, you create a look that
is very busy. This is fine for the client who wants to achieve a multitextured
look but may be less appropriate for more conservative professionals.
 Smooth wave patterns accent the face and are particularly useful when you
wish to narrow a round head shape.
 Curly wave patterns take attention away from the face and can be used to
soften square or rectangular features.

HAIRCOLOR - plays an important role in hair

design, both visually and psychologically. It can be
used to make all, or part of the design appear larger
or smaller. Haircolor can help define texture and line, and it can tie
design elements together. Haircoloring, you will
learn more about enhancing hair design, using hair
color as an important element.

DIMENSION WITH COLOR

Light colors and warm colors create the illusion of volume. Dark and cool
colors recede or move in toward the head, creating the illusion of less volume. The
illusion of dimension, or depth, is created when colors that are lighter and warmer
alternate with those that are darker and cooler.

LINES WTH COLOR

Because the eye is drawn to the lightest color, you can use a light color to
draw a line in a hairstyle in the direction you want the eye to travel. A single line of
color, or a series of repeated lines of color, can create a bold, dramatic accent.

COLOR SELECTION
When choosing a color, be sure that the tone is compatible with the skin
tone of the client. If a client has a gold tone to her skin, warm haircolors are more
flattering than cool haircolors. For a more conservative or natural look when using
two or more colors, choose colors with similar tones within two levels of each other.
When using high contrast colors in most salon situations, you should use one color
sparingly. A strong contrast can create an attention-grabbing look and should only
be used on clients who are trendy and can carry off a bold look.

PRINCIPLES OF HAIR DESIGN

Five important principles in art and design—proportion, balance, rhythm, emphasis,
and harmony—are also the basis of hair design. The better you understand these

9
principles, the more confident you will feel about creating styles that are pleasing to
the eye.

1. PROPORTION
Is the comparative relationship of one thing to another. A person with a very
small chin and a very wide forehead might be said to have a head shape that is not
in proportion. A well-chosen hairstyle could create the illusion of better proportion
for such a client. Body Proportion is essential when designing a hairstyle that you
consider the client’s body shape and size. Challenges in body proportion become
more obvious if the hair form is too small or too large. When choosing a style for a
woman with large hips or broad shoulders, for instance, you would normally create
a style with more volume. But the same large hair style would appear out of
proportion on a petite woman. A general guide for classic proportion is that the hair
should not be wider than the center of the shoulders, regardless of the body
structure. Contrasting color accents the line. Strong color contrast.

2. BALANCE
Is establishing equal or appropriate proportions to create symmetry. In
hairstyling, it can be the proportion of height to width. Balance can be symmetrical
or asymmetrical. Often when you are dissatisfied with a finished hair design, it is
because the style is out of balance. To measure symmetry, divide the face into four
equal parts. The lines cross at the central axis, the reference point for judging the
balance of the hair design. You can then decide if the hairstyle looks pleasing to the
eye and is in correct balance.
a. Symmetrical balance occurs when an imaginary line is drawn through the
center of the face and the two resulting halves form a mirror image of one
another. Both sides of the hairstyle are the same distance from the center,
the same length, and have the same volume when viewed from the front.
b. Asymmetrical balance is established when the two imaginary halves of a
hairstyle have an equal visual weight but are positioned unevenly.
Opposite sides of the hairstyle are different lengths or have a different
volume. Asymmetry can be horizontal or diagonal.

3. RHYTHM
Is a regular pulsation or recurrent
pattern of movement in a design. In music
or dance, rhythm can be fast or slow. In
hair design, a fast rhythm moves quickly;
tight curls are an example. A slow rhythm
can be seen in larger shapings or long
waves. Fast Rhythm Slow Rhythm

4. EMPHASIS
Also known as focus, in a design is what draws the eye first before it travels
to the rest of the design. A hairstyle may be well balanced, with good rhythm and
harmony, and yet still be boring. Create interest with an area of emphasis or focus
by using wave patterns, color, change in form, ornamentation.

10
Emphasis using wave Emphasis using color Emphasis using Forms Emphasis using
patterns Ornamentation

Choose an area of the head or face that you want to emphasize. Keep the
design simple so that it is easy for the eye to follow from the point of emphasis
through to the rest of the style. You can have multiple points of emphasis if you do
not use too many and if they are decreasing in size and importance. Remember,
less is more.

5. HARMONY
Creation of unity in a design is the most important of the art principles. It
holds elements of the design together. When hairstyle is harmonious it has: form
with interesting lines, pleasing color or combinations of colors and textures,
balance and rhythm that together strengthen the design.

PRINCIPLES OF HAIR DESIGN PROJECT

Facial Shapes - is determined by the position and prominence of the facial bones.

7 Basic Facial Shapes

Oval Ideal face shape. Can wear any hairstyle, unless there are
other considerations, such as eyeglasses, nose length or
shape, or profile.
Round Round hairline and round chin line; wide face. Aim: To
create the illusion of length to the face. Style Choice:
Hairstyle with height or volume on top and closeness or no
volume at the sides.
Square Wide at the temples, narrow at the middle third of face and
squared off at the jaw. Aim: Offset or round out the square
features. Style Choice: Soften hair around temples and jaw
bringing shape close to the head form.
Triangular (Pear Narrow forehead, wide jaw and chin line. Aim: Create the
Shaped) illusion of width in the forehead. Style Choice: Volume at
temples and some height at the top. Disguise the narrowness
of forehead with a soft bang or fringe.
Oblong Long, narrow face with hollow cheeks. Aim: Make the face
appear shorter and wider. Style Choices: Keep hair close to
the top of head. Add volume on sides to create illusion of
width. Hair should not be too long.

11
Diamond Narrow forehead, extreme width through the cheekbones,
and narrow chin. Aim: To reduce the width across the
cheekbone line. Styling Choice: Increase fullness across jaw
line and forehead, keep close at cheekbone line to help create
oval appearance.
Inverted Triangle Wide forehead and narrow chin line. Aim: Decrease the width
(Heart Shaped) of forehead and increase the width in the lower part of the
face. Style Choice: Style close to head with no volume. Bang
recommended. Gradually increase the width in cheekbone
area and near ears.

BASIC HAIR PARTING, BLOCKING AND SECTIONING TECHNIQUE

What is the right way to part your hair?

Feel for your cowlick (the swirl near the crown of your head). If it moves in a
clockwise circle, part your hair on the left. If it is counterclockwise, you
should part on the right. Another tip: Parting the hair lower on the head is a good
way to create a square shape to your haircut, and it looks good on everyone.

Hair Blocking is a technique involves coloring a section of hair in a contrasting

shade, so it stands out against the rest of your mane, creating a look that's eye-
catching and fun.

16
How to Section Your Hair

1. Start by parting hair down the middle from front to

back.
Tip: Place your other hand at the base of the neck as a
guide, your hands naturally want to come together.
2. Comb hair to get out any tangles.
3. Start the first section by combing from middle part to
top of the ear, twirling and clipping in place.
4. Move then to the back lower section directly underneath, then to the other
side to repeat.
