When using the sheer over comb technique, the hair is placed in position for cutting by:

Shaking the comb
Rolling the comb in
Rolling the comb out
Pulling the comb straight up

The correct answer is: Rolling the comb out

Placing contextually When using the sheer over comb technique, the hair is typically held at an angle and combed with one hand while cutting with the shear in the other hand. With this method, the comb is rolled outwards, away from the head, as it moves through the hair to create a smooth, blended look. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they involve different movements of the comb that would not achieve the desired result of the sheer over comb technique. Shaking the comb or pulling it straight up can create uneven and choppy cuts, while rolling the comb in would result in a bulky, uneven cut. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
