When cutting hair consistently using a 90-degree elevation, what effect is produced?

  1. Layers

  2. Textured ends

  3. Uniform length

  4. Scissors-over-comb technique

The correct answer is: Uniform length

When cutting hair consistently using a 90-degree elevation, the result is uniform length throughout the hair. This technique involves lifting the sections of hair straight out from the head at a 90-degree angle before cutting. As a result, all strands are cut to the same length, giving the hair an even and balanced look. This method does not create layers or textured ends because layers are typically created by cutting hair at varying elevations, while texturing techniques often involve different cutting methods to create softness or separation in the hair's ends. Moreover, the scissors-over-comb technique is a specific cutting technique used primarily for tapering hair close to the scalp and does not apply in the same way to the overall effect produced by the 90-degree elevation cutting method.
