What describes 'palming the shear'?

Cleaning the shears with a palm
Holding the comb with fingers while the shear is in the palm
A technique to sharpen the shears
Storing the shears in the palm for quick access

The correct answer is: Holding the comb with fingers while the shear is in the palm

Palming the shear refers to a specific technique used by hairdressers when working with shears. This technique involves holding the comb with your fingers while the shear is securely held in the palm of your hand. This position allows for precise and controlled movements when cutting hair. Choices A, C, and D are all incorrect because they do not accurately describe this specific technique but rather involve other actions related to working with shears. Choice A refers to cleaning the shears, choice C refers to sharpening the shears, and choice D refers to storing the shears. These actions may be important for maintaining shears, but they are not the same as palming the shear.
