What does a 90-degree haircut create?

• A. Uniform layering
• B. No layers
• C. Choppy texture
• D. Disconnected layers

Answer: (A)

When hair is elevated to 90 degrees and cut, all strands are released and trimmed at the same height around the head. This produces even, uniform layers that wrap evenly, giving a consistent layered shape rather than a single length or a jagged look. So the result is uniform layering because the equal elevation creates a consistent layer line around the head.

Cutting at zero elevation would leave no layers and a blunt one-length silhouette. Choppy texture comes from uneven cuts or texturizing methods that create irregular, inconsistent edges. Disconnected layers happen when different sections are cut at varying elevations, breaking the continuous layer line.
