Feathering specific areas of the hair is best done with a?

  1. Scissors

  2. Comb

  3. Razor

  4. Clipper

The correct answer is: Razor

Feathering specific areas of the hair is done using a razor because it provides more control and precision for creating a soft and natural look. Scissors, while useful for cutting hair, may not offer the same level of finesse and are better suited for cutting larger sections. A comb, while useful for parting and sectioning hair, cannot create the desired feathering effect. Clippers, on the other hand, are not ideal for feathering as they are primarily used for cutting shorter hair and do not provide the same level of detail as a razor.
