What do you need to do after positioning a hair subsection with a comb?

Transfer the comb to the other hand
Free up your cutting hand
Increase the tension on the hair
Sharpen the comb

The correct answer is: Free up your cutting hand

After positioning a hair subsection with a comb, the next step would be to free up your cutting hand in order to start cutting the hair. This allows you to have better control and precision when cutting the hair, as your other hand is not occupied with holding the comb. Option A is incorrect because transferring the comb to the other hand is unnecessary and may even cause you to lose the position of the hair. Option C is also incorrect because increasing the tension on the hair is not necessary at this point and may cause discomfort for your client. Option D is irrelevant as sharpening the comb would not affect the positioning of the hair.
