Which hair cutting technique removes bulk while maintaining length?

Slide cutting is a technique where the scissors are glided along the strands of hair rather than cutting straight across. This method helps blend the hair and remove bulk while preserving the overall length. It allows the stylist to soften the hair's edges and create movement without drastically shortening the hair. This makes slide cutting particularly useful for clients who want to maintain longer styles but reduce heaviness or bulkiness in their hair.

While other techniques focus on specific outcomes—such as point cutting, which adds texture and creates softness at the ends; layer cutting, which involves cutting hair at different lengths for volume and shape; and texturizing, which involves various techniques to reduce bulk or add volume—the unique ability of slide cutting to remove excess weight without compromising length sets it apart in achieving a balanced look.
