Which guideline is used when creating layers or a graduated cut?

Parallel guideline
Perimeter guideline
Stationary guideline
Traveling guideline

The correct answer is: Parallel guideline

Parallel guideline is the most commonly used when creating layers or a graduated cut. Perimeter guideline is used for maintaining the length and shape of the overall haircut, not for creating layers. Stationary guideline is used for creating a consistent length throughout the haircut, not specifically for layers. Traveling guideline is used for creating a gradual increase or decrease in hair length, but not necessarily for layers. Parallel guideline allows for the hair to be cut at the same angle, resulting in evenly layered or graduated hair.
