Directional lines in hair design are defined as lines with what kind of movement?

  1. Vertical

  2. Horizontal

  3. A definite forward or backward

  4. Circular

The correct answer is: A definite forward or backward

Directional lines in hair design are lines that create movement in a specific direction. Option A, vertical lines, do not necessarily imply movement and could be used for a sleek and straight look. Option B, horizontal lines, are also unlikely to create movement as they run parallel to the ground. Option D, circular lines, create a rounded effect but do not define a specific direction of movement. Therefore, option C, definite forward or backward lines, best fits the definition of directional lines in hair design.
