Which technique is described as cutting the ends of the hair at an angle to create texture?

Point cutting is a technique where the ends of the hair are cut at an angle, which helps to create texture and soften the edges of a haircut. This method involves using the tips of the scissors to snip into the ends of the hair, which adds movement and dimension to the style. By cutting into the hair at various angles, point cutting can help to remove bulk and create a more layered appearance without drastically changing the length. It’s particularly effective for achieving a natural look, allowing hair to flow more freely and appear less blunt.

Other techniques have different purposes—blunt cutting creates a straight, even edge, slide cutting involves sliding the scissors along the hair shaft to remove weight or length, and texturizing typically refers to various methods to reduce bulk or add volume, but not specifically at an angle. Understanding the nuances of these cutting techniques is essential for achieving desired styles and effects in hairdressing.
