Asymmetrical balance in a hairstyle is established when?

Both sides are mirror images of each other
One side is shorter than the other
The hairstyle has equal visual weight but is positioned unevenly
The hairstyle includes multiple colors

The correct answer is: The hairstyle has equal visual weight but is positioned unevenly

Asymmetrical balance in a hairstyle is established when there is equal visual weight but it is positioned unevenly. This means that despite the hairstyle not being evenly divided or perfectly matching on both sides, it still gives a sense of balance and harmony. Option A is incorrect as asymmetrical balance does not require mirror images on both sides. Option B is incorrect as it only refers to the length of the hairstyle, not the balance. Option D is incorrect as multiple colors do not necessarily determine balance in a hairstyle. The key feature of asymmetrical balance is the placement and distribution of visual weight.
