Why is consistent tension important during a haircut?

  1. For quick haircuts

  2. For constant, even results

  3. To reduce hair damage

  4. To make the haircut more difficult

The correct answer is: For constant, even results

Consistent tension is important during a haircut because it ensures that each section of hair is cut evenly and accurately. This helps to create a cohesive and polished look, as inconsistent tension can lead to varying lengths and textures throughout the hair. Options A, C, and D do not accurately describe the importance of tension during a haircut. Quick haircuts can be achieved with or without consistent tension, while consistent tension actually helps to reduce hair damage and makes the haircut easier, rather than more difficult.
