What is the main purpose of a neck strip?

To provide comfort during shaving
To create a design for the haircut
To protect the skin from coming in contact with the cape
To absorb excess moisture

The correct answer is: To protect the skin from coming in contact with the cape

The primary function of a neck strip is to protect the skin from coming into contact with the cape or any hair clippings that may fall during a haircut or service. By placing a neck strip around the client's neck, barbers create a barrier between the fabric of the cape and the client's skin. This not only enhances hygiene but also ensures that clients remain comfortable and prevents irritation that might occur if hair or other debris gets trapped under the cape. While comfort during shaving and absorbing moisture might be secondary benefits, they do not encapsulate the main purpose of the neck strip. Similarly, designing a haircut is unrelated to the neck strip's function, as its primary role is focused on protection rather than aesthetics.
