During a haircut, what describes the outline or shape of the hair?

Guide
Layer
Perimeter
Section

The correct answer is: Perimeter

The perimeter refers to the outer boundary or edge of the hair when cut. It essentially defines the overall shape or outline of the hair. This is different from a guide (a section of hair that serves as a reference for the rest of the haircut), a layer (a section of hair that is cut to a specific length), or a section (a portion of hair that is separated from the rest for styling purposes). Therefore, while each of these other options may be involved in the haircut process, none of them fully describe the outline or shape of the hair as the perimeter does.
