You should always work ____ the growth patterns of the hair to ensure even cutting.

  1. With

  2. Against

  3. Parallel to

  4. Perpendicular to

The correct answer is: Against

When cutting hair, it is important to consider the direction or growth pattern of the hair. This helps to ensure an even and balanced haircut. Choosing "against" the growth pattern means cutting in the opposite direction of how the hair naturally falls. This can lead to an uneven haircut and may cause the hair to look choppy or jagged. "With" the growth pattern is the correct choice because it allows the hair to fall into its natural pattern and results in a more uniform cut. "Parallel to" and "perpendicular to" the growth pattern may also result in an uneven haircut, as they do not follow the natural direction of the hair growth.
