What is the focus point of a combination cut?

  1. Adding texture

  2. Blending different lengths

  3. Varying amounts of weight

  4. Creating even layers

The correct answer is: Adding texture

A combination cut focuses on adding texture to the hair, versus blending different lengths (B), varying amounts of weight (C), or creating even layers (D). A combination cut, also known as "free-hand cutting," uses a variety of techniques like point cutting, razoring, and slicing to create a multi-dimensional and textured look. This makes it different from other cutting techniques that focus on achieving a more uniform and even result. By choosing A, you have correctly identified the main goal of a combination cut.
