The angle at which you hold the comb determines what?

  1. The color of the hair

  2. The length of the haircut

  3. The amount of hair that is removed

  4. The growth patterns of the hair

The correct answer is: The amount of hair that is removed

Holding the comb at different angles does not affect the color of the hair, as this is determined by the hair dye. The comb angle also does not determine the length of the haircut, as this is typically predetermined by the client's request. Growth patterns of the hair are determined by genetics, so holding the comb at different angles will not change this. The most likely option is that the angle at which you hold the comb determines the amount of hair that is removed, as holding it at different angles can result in varying lengths of hair being cut or trimmed. Choosing the correct comb angle is important in achieving the desired hairstyle.
