Good posture at the shampoo bowl includes holding your chin _________________.

  1. Parallel to the floor

  2. Downward

  3. Upward

  4. At a 45-degree angle

The correct answer is: Parallel to the floor

A) Holding your chin parallel to the floor helps to keep your head and neck in a neutral position, preventing strain or discomfort. Option B is incorrect because looking downward can cause tension in the neck and shoulders, especially if maintained for a prolonged period of time. Option C is also incorrect because looking upward can lead to similar strain and discomfort in the neck and shoulders. Option D is incorrect because a 45-degree angle would still put the chin in an upward or downward position, rather than keeping it parallel to the floor.
