At what degree of elevation is a long layered haircut typically cut?

  1. 45 degrees

  2. 60 degrees

  3. 90 degrees

  4. 120 degrees

The correct answer is: 90 degrees

A long layered haircut is typically cut at a 90 degree elevation. This means that the hair is held straight out from the head at a 90 degree angle and then cut in a horizontal line. Cutting at any other elevation would result in a different type of haircut. For example, cutting at a 45 degree angle would create a more stacked and layered look, while cutting at a 120 degree angle would create an even more graduated and shorter look. Therefore, options A, B, and D are all incorrect as they do not align with the typical elevation used for a long layered haircut.
