Point Cutting

Category: lifestyle

A texturizing technique where the stylist snips vertically into the ends of the hair strands rather than straight across.

Point cutting removes bulk from the hair ends, creating a softer, feathered texture instead of a blunt, rigid line. It is heavily utilized to blend layers, soften heavy perimeters, and add movement to both short and long hairstyles.

Common Examples

• The stylist used point cutting on the fringe to prevent the bangs from looking too heavy or boxy across the forehead.
• Mastering point cutting requires angling the shears parallel to the hair shaft to avoid accidentally removing too much length.
