Apex Highest point on the top of the head
, Asymmetrical Balance Is established when two imaginary halves of a
hairstyle have an equal visual weight, but the two
halves are positioned unevenly. Opposite sides of the
hairstyle are different lengths or have a different
volume. Asymmetry can be horizontal or diagonal.
Balance Related to establishing equal or appropriate
proportions to create symmetry; in hairstyling, it is
the relationship of height to width
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.
Coil very tight curl
Concave profile Curving inward; prominent forehead and chin, with
other features receded inward.
Contrasting lines Horizontal and vertical lines that meet at a 90-degree
angle and create a hard edge.
Convex profile Curving outward; receding forehead and chin.
Curved lines Lines moving in a circular or semi-circular direction;
used to soften a design.
Design line defines form and space; presence of one line nearly
always means that there are others involved
Design philosophy includes objectives, goals, and step-by-step
planning developed by artists to mold their unique
vision into a piece of art
Design texture Wave patterns that must be taken into consideration
when designing a style.
