Which of the following angles is considered to represent low projection (elevation)?

• A. 0° to 30°
• B. 30° to 60°
• C. 90° to 180°
• D. 60° to 90°

Answer: (A)

Low projection means the hair is lifted only a small amount away from the head, keeping most of the weight close to the scalp. When you lift at about 0 to 30 degrees, you create a dense, blunt silhouette with a strong weight line right near the head. This is ideal when you want stability, thickness, and minimal movement.

The other ranges would increase lift and create softer or more textured results: 30 to 60 degrees is a medium elevation that softens the edge and distributes weight more evenly; 60 to 90 degrees is a high projection that produces more layering and movement; 90 to 180 degrees would be extreme or nonstandard for typical elevation in cut design.
