What does the perimeter refer to in a haircut?

  1. Inside layers of the haircut

  2. Outside line of the haircut

  3. The middle section of the haircut

  4. The parting line of the haircut

The correct answer is: Outside line of the haircut

In a haircut, the perimeter refers to the outermost line or edge of the hair. This includes the front hairline, the nape of the neck, and the sides of the head. Option A, inside layers, is incorrect because this refers to the internal sections of the haircut. Option C, middle section, is incorrect because this is a general term and does not specifically refer to the perimeter. Option D, parting line, may be close to the perimeter, but it is not the exact same thing. When referencing the perimeter, it is important to be specific and refer to the outermost edge of the haircut.
