When sculpting graduated texture from horizontal and diagonal partings, natural distribution must be combined with which concept?

• A. Projection
• B. Natural fall
• C. Parallel finger position
• D. Perpendicular distribution

Answer: (A)

Gradual weight in this technique comes from letting the hair fall naturally while you cut at an angle that directs the hair upward and away from the head. That angled cutting, known as projection, creates the stacking and soft transition characteristic of graduated texture. When you combine natural distribution with projection, you respect how each section wants to lie while you remove weight at a controlled angle, producing a smooth, graduated line rather than a blunt edge. If you relied on natural distribution alone, the result would lack the deliberate weight distribution; using a different angle or approach wouldn’t give the same graduated effect.
