Which technique is described as effective for measuring the proportions of the face?

• A. Sectioning
• B. Draping
• C. Texturizing
• D. Shaping

Answer: (A)

Measuring the proportions of the face relies on creating a structured map of features by dividing the face into sections. Sectioning provides vertical and horizontal reference lines that let you compare widths and distances between key points—such as the hairline, brows, eyes, nose, and mouth—so you can assess symmetry and balance. This organized approach gives clear guidance for where features should align and how a hairstyle or makeup plan should be adjusted to maintain proportional harmony. Draping protects the client and sets up the working area, texturizing changes hair texture, and shaping defines the overall silhouette, but none of these establish a system for evaluating facial proportions the way sectioning does.
