What is a haircut between 90 and 45 degrees known as?

  1. Bob cut

  2. Layered cut

  3. Graduated layers

  4. Buzz cut

The correct answer is: Graduated layers

A Bob cut is typically a short, chin-length haircut with a blunt, even edge. A Layered cut is a haircut in which the hair is cut at different lengths to create texture and volume. A Buzz cut is a very short, cropped haircut often done with clippers. A Buzz cut is typically not associated with specific angles. A haircut between 90 and 45 degrees is known as a Graduated layers cut because it involves cutting the hair at an angle to create layers that are shorter in the back and longer in the front. This style is also known as a "stacked" or "inverted" bob.
