Which technique allows you to cut the hair very close to the scalp?

Effilating
Taper
Backcombing
Clipper over comb

The correct answer is: Clipper over comb

Clipper over comb is a technique used in hair cutting to cut the hair very close to the scalp. This technique involves using a clipper and a comb to cut the hair in small sections, allowing for precise control and a smooth, blended finish. The other options, Effilating, Taper, and Backcombing, do not involve cutting the hair close to the scalp and therefore are incorrect. Effilating is a technique used to create texture and movement in the hair, Taper is a term used to describe the gradual change in length from top to bottom, and Backcombing is a technique used to create volume and texture in the hair.
