What is 'tension' in the context of haircutting?

The emotional state before cutting hair
The pressure applied when combing and holding a section of hair
The resistance of hair to cutting
The angle at which hair is held when cutting

The correct answer is: The pressure applied when combing and holding a section of hair

Tension in the context of haircutting refers to the amount of pressure applied when combing and holding a section of hair. It is not related to the emotional state of the hairdresser (choice A), the physical resistance of the hair (choice C), or the angle at which the hair is held (choice D). The correct answer is B because it specifically refers to the physical action taken while cutting hair.
