Overdirection occurs when hair is combed in which direction?

Toward its natural fall position
Away from its natural fall position
In the direction of hair growth
Opposite the direction of hair growth

The correct answer is: Away from its natural fall position

Overdirection refers to the act of combing hair in a direction that is different from its natural fall position. The natural fall position of hair is the direction in which it naturally falls or grows. Option A, which mentions combing towards its natural fall position, is incorrect because that would just be following the natural direction of hair growth. Option C, combing in the direction of hair growth, is also incorrect because it is essentially the same as combing with its natural fall position. Option D, combing opposite the direction of hair growth, is incorrect because that would mean combing against the natural direction of hair growth. Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it defines overdirection by stating that hair is combed away from its natural fall position.
