Which haircut yields uniform layering?

• A. 0-degree haircut
• B. 45-degree haircut
• C. 90-degree haircut
• D. 180-degree haircut

Answer: (C)

Uniform layering occurs when you lift the hair to a true 90-degree angle to the head as you cut. This perpendicular elevation ensures each section is cut to the same length as it falls, producing evenly spaced layers all around. Cutting with no elevation keeps the hair flat against the scalp, resulting in a blunt, single-length edge with no real layering. Elevating to about 45 degrees creates longer layers toward the perimeter, giving a wedge or graduated look rather than uniform layers. Lifting the hair straight up to 180 degrees can overdirect lengths and create uneven results, not the even, consistent layering you want.
