Vertical lines in hair design are used to create?

  1. Width

  2. Length and height

  3. Volume

  4. Balance

The correct answer is: Length and height

Vertical lines in hair design are used to create length and height. A vertical line is a line that runs up and down or from the top to the bottom. In hair design, this type of line is used to create the illusion of length or height in a hairstyle, making the hair appear longer or taller. It is not used to create width (option A) because that would require horizontal lines. Volume (option C) and balance (option D) can also be achieved with vertical lines, but they are not the sole purpose of using them. Length and height are the main focus when creating vertical lines in hair design.
