When cutting graduation, what effect does using higher projection or angles create?

• A. Low graduation
• B. High graduation
• C. Even graduation
• D. No graduation

Answer: (B)

Graduation is the weighted line that forms as you cut with some elevation. The projection angle tells you how far away from the head you’re holding the hair. When you use a higher projection, you lift the hair more and cut along a diagonal plane, which pulls more length toward the upper part of the head and makes the weight line sit higher. In other words, the grade of the cut becomes more pronounced up toward the crown, producing a high graduation. If you used less elevation, the weight line would sit lower (low graduation), or be less noticeable.
