How should you hold your fingers in a one length haircut?

  1. Diagonal

  2. Horizontal

  3. Parallel

  4. Vertical

The correct answer is: Horizontal

A one length haircut typically has all of the hair cut to the same length. Therefore, the best way to hold your fingers while cutting would be horizontally, to ensure an even and uniform cut. Holding the fingers diagonally, parallel, or vertically could result in an unbalanced and uneven haircut, as the hair may not be cut at the same length on each side.
