Explanation:

Define hair molding

Using the Wet Hairstyling knowledge point, hair molding (also known as shaping) is the process of combing wet hair into a desired position or pattern to prepare it for styling. It serves as the foundation for various wet sets, finger waves, and wrap styles.

Hair molding primarily includes two main techniques: flat molding (shaping the hair flat against the head) and textured molding (introducing volume, waves, or specific patterns while shaping). Both are recognized, standard techniques in professional cosmetology.
