What is a travelling guideline?

  1. A fixed point used to ensure even cutting

  2. Guideline that moves as the hair cutting progresses

  3. A theory in hair styling

  4. A tool used to cut hair

The correct answer is: Guideline that moves as the hair cutting progresses

A travelling guideline is a guideline that is created or set at one point and then moves as the hair cutting progresses. This is done to maintain balance, consistency, and accuracy throughout the haircut. Option A is referring to a stationary guideline, where the hair is cut at a fixed point. Option C is incorrect because a travelling guideline is not a theory, but a practical technique used in hair styling. Option D is incorrect because a travelling guideline is not a tool, but a technique used with tools such as scissors or clippers.
