The essence of the point cutting technique is that it allows the hairdresser to transform an ordinary haircut into an image full of movement and texture. Technically, this is achieved by reducing the weight, mass of the hair and creating jagged edges. If you need to add texture to the ends of your hair, then here it is also worth cutting using the point cutting technique. In this case, the hair should be cut vertically, not horizontally. The purpose of the point cutting technique is not to remove length, but to soften the ends and add texture to the cut. The amount of hair removed depends on how deep into the section you go.<h2 style="text-align: center;"> Some tips regarding the point cutting technique on coarse straight hair</h2> When your hair is coarse and straight, you need to make it more pliable and manageable. If the hair has more weight at the ends, you lose that pliability and need to reduce the mass. If you want to reduce hair mass, cut with scissors parallel to the hair. If you cut with scissors at an angle, you will cut into the hair, creating texture, but will not reduce the bulk and jagged edges. Therefore, at the beginning and during cutting, the scissors should remain parallel to the floor - this position of the tool reduces weight. To fluff your hair for a cut, simply take a section between your index and middle fingers with your palm facing your head, run your hand to the ends of the hair (leaving a few inches of hair), and then simply make a fist and the hair will fan out. With this cutting technique, hold the scissors steady and parallel to the hair and move the hair to remove the mass. When cutting thick, straight curls, you need to be careful. When you move your hair, you cause more damage to the cuticle, and this can lead to flared ends and split ends in curly hair. <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="500" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QfACSDwyjx8" title="YouTube video player" width="800"></iframe>
