- ABlock coloring
- BPaneling

Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Weaving
Weaving involves selecting fine, delicate strands of hair with a tail comb, creating a natural and blended effect of highlights and lowlights. This technique avoids harsh lines.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Block coloring is a technique where large sections of hair are colored uniformly, often creating dramatic, less blended results.
- B. Paneling involves creating larger, distinct sections of color, which can be bold but not necessarily natural-looking or blended.
- C. Slicing involves taking a clean, straight parting of hair, resulting in bolder, more pronounced highlights.
