A short neck may be lanced with a haircut that is _________.

Tapered
Layered
Texturized
Blunt

The correct answer is: Tapered

A short neck can be accentuated or balanced through a tapered haircut. Tapering involves gradually reducing hair length from the top and sides down to the neck, creating a natural flow and soft silhouette that complements a shorter neck. This technique helps to elongate the appearance of the neck and draws attention upward, which is particularly flattering for individuals with shorter necks. The other haircut styles, while they have their own unique attributes, do not serve the same purpose effectively. Layered haircuts may add volume but do not address the specific need for creating an elongating effect on a short neck. Texturizing often focuses on removing bulk or adding movement but doesn't inherently alter the length or shape in a flattering way for shorter necks. A blunt haircut, characterized by its straight and sharp ends, can sometimes make a short neck appear even shorter by creating a stark contrast with the neck, rather than softening and elongating the appearance.
