IN THIS CHAPTER

Uncovering the truth about hair types

Sweet talking hair types to make them behave

Having your way with cowlicks and other growth patterns

Understanding hair type, texture, and density is an important step toward making your little darlings — and your big ones too — look forward to sitting in your chair. Once mastered, evaluating these factors as part of your cutting plan will help you to create cut-above hair designs on even the most opinionated hair.

Carefully evaluating the hair will also help to eliminate so many unwanted surprises like fine hair collapsing on the head, curly hair performing its incredible shrinking act, or thin hair playing peek-a-boo with the scalp.

In this chapter, I walk you through how to determine any hair type, as well as how to spot and handle pesky (but sometimes fun) whorls and cowlicks. You’ll learn the meaning of hair density and discover how to determine whether a head of hair is thin, medium, or thick. And because hair texture plays a big role in every cut and style, I’ll show you how to determine whether it’s fine, medium, or coarse by comparing it to common sewing thread.
