What is the proper name for the outer perimeter of a haircut?

  1. Baseline

  2. Design line

  3. Framework

  4. Shell

The correct answer is: Design line

The correct answer is "B. Design line." In the field of barbering, the design line refers to the outer perimeter of a haircut. It is the outline that defines the shape and style of the haircut. The design line is a crucial element in creating a well-balanced and visually appealing haircut. The other options are not correct: - A. Baseline: While the term "baseline" may be familiar in other contexts, in barbering, it is not the proper name for the outer perimeter of a haircut. - C. Framework: In the context of a haircut, "framework" does not refer to the outer perimeter but rather to the structure and foundation of the haircut. - D. Shell: "Shell" is not a term used to describe the outer perimeter of a haircut in barbering terminology.
