Weaving is a technique used in hair styling to create natural-looking highlights or lowlights. In this technique, small sections of hair are colored or lightened while leaving other sections untouched, creating a contrast and depth in the overall hairstyle. Option A, picking up the hair with scissors, is incorrect because weaving is not performed using scissors. Option B, picking up from a broad section randomly, is incorrect because weaving requires precision and deliberate sectioning of the hair. Option D, separating into even sections, is incorrect because weaving involves picking up random, narrow sections of hair. Option C, picking up from a narrow section with a zigzag motion of the comb, is the correct answer as it accurately describes the technique of weaving.
