Which of the following tools is primarily used for creating layers in a haircut?

Clipper
Razor
Scissors
Thinning shears

The correct answer is: Thinning shears

Thinners, also known as thinning shears, are primarily used for creating layers in a haircut. These shears have teeth on the blades that help to blend and soften the hair, resulting in a seamless and natural-looking finish. This is different from clippers, which are primarily used for creating precise and short haircuts, razors which are used for texturizing, and regular scissors which are used for general cutting and maintenance. While some techniques may involve using other tools to create layers, thinning shears are the most common and efficient tool for this purpose.
