What is the ideal way to blend the perimeter of a layered haircut?

  1. By pulling the hair to the natural fall and trim uneven points

  2. By cutting the hair straight across

  3. By using a razor to soften the edges

  4. By using thinning shears

The correct answer is: By pulling the hair to the natural fall and trim uneven points

When blending the perimeter of a layered haircut, the ideal way is to pull the hair to its natural fall and trim any uneven points. This helps to maintain the natural shape and flow of the haircut. Cutting the hair straight across (B) may result in a boxy or uneven look, while using a razor (C) may create too much texture and thinning shears (D) may remove too much hair. Pulling the hair to its natural fall ensures a seamless and precise blend.
