if the hair is cut at a 90-degree elevation and then over directed to maintain length and weight at the perimeter, what basic type of haircut is it? (select all that apply.)
select the correct response(s):
a bob
a graduated haircut
a long-layered haircut
a blunt haircut

Explanation:

Analyze the haircutting elevation

The question states that the hair is cut at a 90-degree elevation. In cosmetology, elevating the hair at 90 degrees or higher creates layers by removing weight.

Analyze the effect of overdirection

Using the Overdirection knowledge point

• Overdirection involves combing the hair away from its natural falling position.
• Combing hair toward a guide at 90 degrees preserves length and weight at the perimeter.
• This technique is specifically used to create progressively longer layers toward the perimeter.

Identify the haircut classification

Using the Haircutting Classifications knowledge point

• A blunt haircut is cut at 0-degree elevation (no elevation).
• A graduated haircut is typically cut between 1-degree and 89-degree elevation.
• A uniform-layered haircut is cut at 90-degree elevation throughout without overdirection.
• A long-layered haircut is cut at a 90-degree elevation and then overdirected to maintain perimeter length and weight.

Select the correct response

The description matches a long-layered haircut.

Answer:

• a bob
• a graduated haircut
• a long-layered haircut (Correct answer)
• a blunt haircut
