Slide Cutting

  1. Technique:
    • Slide cutting is a hairstyling technique where the scissors are used to cut the hair at a slight angle with a sliding motion rather than a straight-across cut.
  2. Purpose:
    • The technique is employed to create texture and movement in the hair, as well as to soften the edges. It helps to achieve a more natural and blended look, particularly useful for layered hairstyles.
  3. Effect:
    • Slide cutting allows for a gradual and less structured result compared to traditional cutting methods. It is often used to remove bulk, add texture, and create a seamless transition between different lengths of hair.
