In men's haircutting, which elevation is most commonly used?

  1. 45 degrees

  2. 90 degrees

  3. 0 degrees

  4. 180 degrees

The correct answer is: 90 degrees

In men's haircutting, the most commonly used elevation is 90 degrees. This is because this angle allows for a balanced and even cut, as the hair falls naturally in this position. Options A and D, 45 and 180 degrees respectively, are too extreme and may result in an uneven cut or uncomfortable styling for the client. Option C, 0 degrees, means cutting the hair straight across and does not allow for any texture or shape. Therefore, option B is the most commonly used elevation for achieving a clean and precise men's haircut.
