What tool is used to give a soft effect in a haircut?

  1. Scissors

  2. Clipper

  3. Razor

  4. Comb

The correct answer is: Razor

A) While scissors can be used to give a soft effect in a haircut, they are not the tool specifically designed for this purpose and may not achieve the desired result. B) Clippers are typically used to create clean, sharp lines in a haircut, rather than a soft effect. D) A comb is a helpful tool in haircutting, but doesn't have the ability to create a soft effect on its own. Ultimately, a razor is the best tool for giving a soft effect in a haircut, as it can create varying lengths and textured finishes for a softer, more blended look.
