What type of cut is characterized by removing bulk without changing the overall style?

Thinning is a technique used in hair cutting that specifically focuses on reducing the bulk of the hair while maintaining the overall length and style. This method is especially useful for clients with thick or heavy hair, as it allows for easier manageability and a lighter feel without altering the fundamental cut. Thinning can be achieved using special thinning shears designed to remove some of the hair while leaving other strands intact.

Layering involves cutting hair at varying lengths to create movement and volume, but it fundamentally changes the style. A bob cut is a specific haircut that typically involves cutting hair to a uniform length, usually around the jawline, thereby altering the shape and style distinctly. Texturizing, while related to thinning, often refers to techniques that create layers or movement in the hair rather than merely reducing bulk. Therefore, thinning is the most accurate term for this specific purpose.
