Transferring the comb to the opposite hand and after combing to facilitate haircutting is called?

• A. Overhand grip
• B. Palming the comb
• C. Finger-combing
• D. Comb gripping

Answer: (B)

Palming the comb involves placing the comb in the palm of the hand and transferring it to the opposite hand so you can continue combing while the other hand handles the cut. This arrangement lets you switch hands smoothly, keeps the comb within easy reach, and prevents interruptions in tension and control during the haircut. By keeping the comb in the palm, your fingers can make quick, precise adjustments as you move to the next section, which helps you maintain consistent guide lengths and clean lines. Overhand grip describes a cutting grip for scissors, not a method for transferring the comb. Finger-combing uses only your fingers to comb, not the comb itself. Comb gripping is too vague and doesn’t specify the palm-based transfer that facilitates efficient cutting.
