context_section_description: Haircutter
  A catch-foot layback spin where the free leg is brought up to head level, but not above. In some cases, the head is dropped back and it appears that the skate blade is in a position to cut the hair of the skater performing the spin. This position is often performed as a segue between a layback spin and a Biellmann spin.
  Hollow
  The groove in the middle of a blade between the inside and outside edges.
  Hop
  A small jump that does not include a rotation.
  Hydroblading
  A move in which a skater glides on a deep edge with the body stretched in a very low position, almost horizontal to the ice. Several variations in position are possible.
