What reduces weight in a hair cut?

Horizontal line
Vertical line
Diagonal line
Curved line

The correct answer is: Vertical line

A hair cut weight is reduced when excess hair is removed. Horizontal, diagonal, and curved lines are all techniques used in hair cutting, but they do not specifically relate to weight reduction. A horizontal line is a technique to create an even base line, a diagonal line is used for layering, and a curved line is used for softening edges. The only technique that directly relates to weight reduction is a vertical line, which is used to create a blunt cut and remove excess weight from the hair.
