PRINCIPLES
OF HAIR DESIGN
Followings
are the five important principles of hair design are: proportion, balance,
rhythm, emphasis, and harmony.
Proportion- comparative
relationship of one thing to another.
Body
proportion-a general guide for classic proportion is that the
hair
should not be wider than the center of the shoulders, regardless
of body
structure.
Balance- establishing
equal or appropriate proportions to create symmetry;
balance
can be symmetrical or asymmetrical.
Ø Symmetrical
balance- occurs when an imaginary line is drawn
through the center of the face and the
two halves form a mirror
image.
Ø Asymmetrical
balance- occurs when the two imaginary halves of a
Hair style have equal visual weight but
are positioned unevenly.
Rhythm- the regular
pulsation of recurrent pattern of movement in a design; ex:
tight
curls are a fast rhythm while long waves are a slow rhythm.
Emphasis (also referred as
focus)- what draws the eye first before it travels to the rest of the design.
Harmony- creating unity in
a design; most important of the principles.
A harmonious design has a form
with interesting lines, and balance
and rhythm
that strengthen the design.
