The location of the four corners signals a change in what?

• A. Head shape
• B. Hair texture
• C. Scalp condition
• D. Face shape

Answer: (A)

The four corners mark changes in the head’s contour. They reveal how the skull’s shape curves at different points, especially near the temples and the back of the head. In cutting or designing a hairstyle, you use these corners as reference points to establish even guidelines around the head, ensuring the silhouette remains balanced as you move from front to back and side to side. Since the head’s circumference isn’t uniform, following the corners helps you accommodate these subtle changes in shape so the cut sits evenly all around. Hair texture, scalp condition, and face shape aren’t determined by the location of these corners—the corners reflect the skull’s contour, not surface hair behavior, scalp health, or facial bone structure.
