What is the primary benefit of using vertical lines in a haircut?

  1. Adding volume

  2. Creating curls

  3. Removing weight

  4. Thickening hair

The correct answer is: Removing weight

Vertical lines in a haircut primarily remove weight. This is because they create long, straight lines which give a more solid shape to the overall haircut. Adding volume (A) and thickening hair (D) generally involve cutting layers and texturizing techniques, rather than relying on vertical lines. Creating curls (B) is also achieved through more layered and texturized cuts, rather than with clean, straight lines.
