What characterizes a graduated haircut?

A buildup of weight
Even lengths from top to bottom
Thinning at the ends
Short layers throughout

The correct answer is: A buildup of weight

A graduated haircut is a type of layered haircut where the hair gradually increases or decreases in length. This creates a staircase-like effect, with shorter pieces near the top and longer pieces towards the bottom. Option B is incorrect because a graduated haircut specifically has uneven lengths. Option C is incorrect because thinning at the ends is a characteristic of a layered haircut, but not necessarily a graduated one. Option D is incorrect because a graduated haircut typically has longer pieces towards the bottom, so short layers throughout would not accurately characterize it.
