How does the orientation of horizontal lines affect haircuts?

  1. They are used to make haircuts shorter

  2. Horizontal lines have no impact on haircuts

  3. They build weight and are used for one-length and low elevation cuts

  4. They are solely used for texturizing

The correct answer is: They build weight and are used for one-length and low elevation cuts

Horizontal lines are used in haircuts to add weight, which is necessary for one-length and low elevation cuts. This means that options A and D are incorrect, as horizontal lines are not primarily used to make haircuts shorter or for texturizing. Option B is also incorrect, as the orientation of horizontal lines does have an impact on haircuts, as it determines the amount of weight added to the hair.
