Which technique is recommended for removing bulk from thick hair?

Thinning is the recommended technique for removing bulk from thick hair because it reduces the overall density while maintaining the length of the hair. This technique typically involves using thinning shears, which have teeth on one side and a straight blade on the other, to selectively cut away some of the hair strands. This results in a lighter, more manageable style that reduces volume, making it easier to style and wear.

When working with thick hair, thinning helps to avoid the heaviness that can sometimes make it difficult to achieve certain looks, providing a more balanced appearance. The outlined technique is a targeted approach that helps to create a shape without drastically altering the overall length, which is especially beneficial for clients who want a more subtle adjustment rather than a complete transformation.

The other techniques, while useful in their own right, do not specifically address the need for reducing bulk in the same way. Layering can add movement and shape, but it may not effectively reduce bulk in the way thinning does. Texturizing alters the hair’s texture and can create varying lengths, but might not provide the volume reduction desired. Bob cutting is a specific haircut style that may not necessarily focus on bulk removal but rather on achieving a particular shape or length.
