Haircut techniques refer to the various methods used by hairstylists to shape and style hair. Common techniques include blunt cutting, where hair is cut straight across for a clean look, and layering, which adds volume and texture by cutting hair at different lengths. Other techniques include texturizing, which removes bulk and creates movement, and point cutting, where the ends of the hair are snipped at an angle for a softer finish. Each technique serves a specific purpose and can be combined to achieve desired styles. For instance, a stylist might use razor cutting for a softer edge or slide cutting to blend layers seamlessly. Understanding these techniques helps clients communicate their preferences effectively.
