What is the technique called for cutting hair using shears to create texture?

Point cutting is a technique used to create texture in hair by using the tips of shears to snip into the ends of the hair strands at an angle. This method provides a softer, more blended finish compared to blunt cutting and allows for a more natural look. It reduces weight at the ends of the hair without significantly altering the overall length. This technique can also help in framing the face or enhancing the movement within the hair, making it ideal for creating various styles where texture is desired. Point cutting is particularly effective for adding dimension and avoiding a bulky appearance that can result from traditional cutting methods.
