Which technique involves cutting hair at an angle?

Point cutting is a technique that involves cutting hair at an angle to create texture and soft edges. It is typically done with the tips of the shears and allows the stylist to remove bulk from the hair while maintaining length. This method helps achieve a more natural, textured look, making it popular for hairstyles that require movement and flow.

Unlike blunt cutting, which creates a straight edge, point cutting adds dimension and layering to the hairstyle without significantly altering the overall length. Layer cutting also focuses on creating varying lengths but does so with different sectioning techniques rather than the angled snipping that characterizes point cutting. Texturizing is a broader term that includes various methods to thin out hair or add movement, but it isn't specifically about cutting at an angle like point cutting.
