What is the term for the action of having shears closed and resting in the palm while combing the hair for safety?

  1. Palming

  2. Ring finger

  3. The heaviest perimeter of a 0 or 45 degree cut

  4. Sudoriterous

The correct answer is: Palming

In this context, palming refers to an action used by hairstylists to safety comb their client's hair while holding the shears in their hand. The other options, ring finger, the heaviest perimeter of a 0 or 45 degree cut, and sudoriterous are not relevant to the action in question and do not accurately describe the action being performed. Therefore, they are incorrect choices. Palming is the correct answer as it specifically describes the action of holding the shears and combing the hair for safety.
