What type of guideline is used in a blunt, one length haircut, or in overdirection to create a length or weight increase?

In the context of haircutting, a stationary guide is essential in achieving a blunt, one-length haircut. This type of guide remains fixed in a position while the stylist cuts the hair to the desired length. The stationary guide allows for precision in cutting, ensuring that all sections of hair are cut to the same length, resulting in a clean and uniform edge.

In cases where overdirection is utilized to increase length or weight, the stationary guide helps maintain control and consistency across the haircut, supporting the structure necessary for the desired shape. By relying on a stationary guide, the stylist can effectively determine where to cut based on the first section of hair, promoting a harmonious balance throughout the style.

The other types of guidelines, while useful in various cutting techniques, do not serve the same purpose in blunt cuts or weight-building through overdirection. This makes the stationary guide pivotal for achieving the desired outcome in these specific haircutting techniques.
