Hair ServicesQuestion 343 of 484
Which elevation produces a uniform-layer haircut in which every strand is the same length when extended straight out from the scalp?
a.0 degrees
b.45 degrees
c.90 degrees
d.180 degrees
Explanation
A 90-degree elevation lifts each section perpendicular to the curve of the head, so every strand is cut to the same length, producing a uniform-layer shape (round layer). 0 degrees is blunt, 45 degrees is graduation, and 180 degrees gives long layers.
