Question: 1 / 400

Which haircutting technique involves cutting at an angle to remove length?

Point cutting

Point cutting is a specialized haircutting technique where the tips of the scissors are employed to cut into the ends of the hair at an angle. This angling helps to remove length while simultaneously creating texture and softening the ends of the hair, resulting in layers and movement. This technique is particularly effective for adding dimension to a haircut without drastically altering the overall length.

Straight cutting, while effective for uniform lengths, does not focus on the angle, and therefore, does not remove length with the same textured result. Texturizing typically involves thinning the hair or removing bulk instead of focusing primarily on length. Razor cutting utilizes a razor rather than scissors, which can also create certain textures but is not specifically aligned with the method of cutting at an angle with scissors. Thus, point cutting stands out as the technique defined by its angled approach to length removal.
