PRINCIPLES OF HAIR DESIGN
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 os 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
Symmetrical balance- occurs when an imaginary line is drawn
through the center of the face and the two halves form a mirror
image
Asymmetrical balcne- occurs when the two imaginary halves of a
hairstyle 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 known 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
