To establish more weight along the perimeter hairline when sculpting a uniformly layered form, which action is recommended?

• A. Sculpt perimeter at a 45° projection angle
• B. Sculpt perimeter at a 90° projection angle
• C. Sculpt perimeter using shifted distribution
• D. Sculpt larger perimeter section in natural fall first

Answer: (D)

To keep more weight along the perimeter hairline when sculpting a uniformly layered form, start with a larger perimeter section in its natural fall. This approach preserves the edge’s length and the hair’s natural drape, giving the outer boundary more heft and definition as the layers are built inward. By letting the perimeter sit in its natural fall, you maintain a heavier, clearer boundary that anchors the cut. Projection angles or shifting weight inward tend to move weight away from the edge or alter how the perimeter sits, which can soften or lessen the weight along the hairline. So beginning with a larger perimeter in natural fall directly supports a fuller, more defined perimeter weight in a uniformly layered look.
