Which design line is used to build a weight area in a graduated form?

• A. Mobile
• B. Vertical
• C. Diagonal
• D. Stationary

Answer: (D)

In graduation, the weight area is built using a stationary design line. A stationary line stays in place as you cut, providing a fixed guide that lets the hair accumulate weight along the line of graduation. This stability is essential for creating that controlled, heavy zone at the bottom of a graduated form. If you used a mobile line, the guide would shift with your hand, making the weight distribution less predictable. Vertical and diagonal lines influence the shape and how weight is released or distributed, but they don’t establish the fixed guide that creates the specific weight area in a graduated cut.
