What is the primary reason for using a neck strip during a haircut?

Using a neck strip during a haircut primarily serves to protect the client's neck from hair clippings. When hair is cut, small pieces can often fall onto the skin, causing irritation or discomfort. The neck strip creates a barrier between the hair and the skin, ensuring that any clippings do not directly touch the client’s neck. This not only enhances the comfort of the client but also contributes to a more enjoyable experience during the haircut.

While a professional appearance is important, absorbing excess moisture, and keeping the hair clean are not the primary functions of a neck strip. The main goal remains focused on providing protection and comfort, allowing for a more pleasant and hygienic grooming process.
