Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Draw outline shapes.
   • Analyse the structural components of the desired haircut.
   • Produce a simple line drawing showing straight and curved design lines and direction of lines for the finished haircut.
2. Create haircut plans.
   • Identify and illustrate starting point, sectioning and parting pattern for each component of the haircut structure.
   • Record degree of angle of lift and distribution of hair for the haircut structure.
   • Illustrate a structural graphic for the planned haircut by drawing lines at 90 degrees to the curve of the head.
   • Develop a finished haircut plan in structural graphic form that shows soft and hard interior and exterior lines, starting point of haircut, sectioning and parting patterns, angles of lift, distribution of hair.
