What is achieved by overdirecting the hair during a haircut?

  1. Faster cutting times

  2. Increased hair growth

  3. Increasing lengths in the interior or perimeter

  4. Decreasing the overall length of the cut

The correct answer is: Increasing lengths in the interior or perimeter

Overdirecting the hair during a haircut is a technique used by hair stylists to achieve different lengths in the interior or perimeter of a cut. This technique involves pulling sections of hair in different directions while cutting, resulting in increased layers and texture in the cut. This technique also allows for more control and precision in shaping the haircut. Option A is incorrect because overdirecting the hair can actually take longer as it requires more attention and detail. Option B is incorrect because overdirecting has no effect on hair growth. Option D is incorrect because overdirecting actually adds length to the interior or perimeter of a cut.
