Which statement correctly compares blunt cut (0-degree) with layered cut (elevation around 45-90 degrees) in terms of weight and silhouette?

• A. Blunt 0-degree creates a solid one-length line with maximum weight; layered cut uses elevation to create graduated weight and movement.
• B. Blunt cut creates a rounded silhouette; layered cut creates a square silhouette.
• C. Both cuts produce identical weight distribution.
• D. Blunt cut uses vertical sections; layered uses horizontal sections.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is how elevation changes weight distribution and the overall shape of the hair. A blunt cut cut at 0 degrees keeps all the hair at the same length, producing a solid, one-length line with maximum weight along the silhouette. That clean, uniform edge gives a strong, dense look without movement.

In contrast, a layered cut cut with elevation around 45–90 degrees lifts sections away from the head, releasing weight as you rise along the length. This creates graduated weight and more movement, so the silhouette isn’t a single heavy line but a softer, stacked shape with visible texture.

That’s why the statement describing the blunt cut as a solid line with maximum weight and the layered cut as using elevation to produce graduated weight and movement is the right one. The idea isn’t about vertical versus horizontal sectioning; it’s about how the cut’s elevation controls weight distribution and the resulting silhouette.
