A cutting technique to define the perimeter hairline (i.e. nape) is known as

• A. Outlining
• B. Layering
• C. Texturizing
• D. Point Cutting

Answer: (A)

Defining the perimeter hairline, especially at the nape, is achieved with outlining. Outlining creates a clean, straight edge along the hairline, giving a crisp silhouette around the neck. It’s a blunt, even cut that defines the outer boundary of the hairstyle. Layering changes lengths to add volume, texturizing reduces bulk and adds softness, and point cutting adds texture to the ends; none of these establish the precise, sharp border at the hairline like outlining does.
