What is the name of the shampoo bowl that allows the barber to stand behind the client's head?

Flat bowl
Fixed bowl
Inclined bowl
Portable bowl

The correct answer is: Inclined bowl

The inclination in an inclined bowl design allows the barber to stand comfortably behind the client's head during the washing process. This ergonomic design is essential for reducing strain on the barber’s back and neck while enabling a more efficient and effective shampooing experience for the client. The angle of the bowl ensures that the water and shampoo can flow properly, making it easier to rinse the hair thoroughly. In contrast, a flat bowl does not provide this advantageous angle, limiting accessibility and comfort for the barber. A fixed bowl is typically stationary and may not be designed for optimal positioning during shampooing. A portable bowl, while mobile, does not specifically address the ergonomic benefits that an inclined bowl provides.
