neutral Sarah Bessioud : hmm, I'm not sure whether I would want my hair to fall naturally. (I pull it out enough as it is!)

but this is the term they use - so that your hair falls nicely - the other is hair LOSS
agree Alison MacG : Agree that "falls" or "hangs" naturally is the term used in the context of hair extensions. Place the extension so it falls naturally within the client's own hair http://www.hji.co.uk/blogs/2008/08/top-tips-for-applying-per...

sit

The "Fall" is how the hair sits, or the "sit" of the hair. Personally, I prefer the verb rather than the noun - and would definitely avoid any mention of the hair "falling" ;-)

The hair sits closer to the head and gives a sleeker, more casual ponytail style.

Preparing the hair
Comb the hair to get rid of tangles and so that it sits flat.
Vertical cutting

At the crown, start to comb out vertical sections of hair, and holding these between the fingers, cut into the line of the hair to feather the style. Work around the head from back to front, feathering small sections, until the hair sits nicely.

I find that when my hair sits naturally it falls into this parting on its own

Oily hair can be a significant problem when it has a definite effect on how your hair sits naturally.

Reference:

"Make sure that the amount of hair introduced is sympathetic to the client's own hair, texture and length, otherwise it can make the overall style look unbalanced. Placement of the extensions can make or break a natural look. Place the extension so it falls naturally within the client's own hair."

Hairstyles and haircuts based on areas of the head
1. Top Of The Head
The top of the head is defined by the parietal ridge which is defined as the widest area of the head, starting at the temples and ending at the bottom of the crown. This area is found by placing a comb flat on the top of the head at the sides. Where the head starts to curve away is the parietal ridge. This is also often referred to as the crest area.
By locating the parietal ridge you can identify which hair grows on the top of the head. The hair that grows here “lies” on the head.
Hair that grows below the parietal ridge or the crest of the head “hangs” rather than “lies”.
Hair on the very top of the head behaves differently than hair on the sides and the back.
The very top of the head can be precisely defined by using a comb to part the hair right at the parietal ridge and following the ridge all the way around the head in a circular form. The top of the head is encircled by the parietal ridge.
The Apex is the highest point on the top of the head. To find the apex place a comb flat on the top of the head and the comb will rest at the highest point.

The "parietal ridge" is the so-called "hat line" from your related question.
