Which technique is commonly used for texturizing hair?

Razor cutting
Point cutting
Blunt cutting
Slide cutting

The correct answer is: Point cutting

Point cutting is a widely used technique for texturizing hair that involves cutting into the ends of the hair at an angle rather than straight across. This method helps to create a softer, more textured edge, which can enhance the movement and shape of the hairstyle. Point cutting is particularly effective for removing bulk from a haircut and blending layers, creating a more natural appearance. Other techniques such as razor cutting and slide cutting can also be used for texturizing, but point cutting is especially favored by many stylists for its precision and ability to add softness without drastically altering the overall length of the hair. Blunt cutting, on the other hand, is aimed at creating a straight, clean line, which does not serve the purpose of texturization.
