Which cutting technique focuses on removing weight and layering the hair?

1. Blunt cut

2. Texturizing

3. Razor cutting

4. Point cutting

The correct answer is: Texturizing

Texturizing is a cutting technique specifically designed to remove weight from the hair and create layers. This method involves using various tools, such as texturizing shears or razor blades, to alter the density and texture of the hair without significantly changing its overall length. By selectively removing hair in certain areas, the stylist can add movement, volume, and shape, allowing the hair to flow more naturally and giving it a more modern appearance. The other methods mentioned serve different purposes. A blunt cut provides a straight, even edge, which creates a solid line rather than layering or removing weight. Razor cutting, while it can also create softness and texture, primarily focuses on shaping rather than the deliberate removal of weight. Point cutting is a technique that adds texture by cutting into the ends of the hair at an angle but does not inherently focus on weight removal or layering in the same way that texturizing does.
