What is the term for the technique used to remove bulk from the hair without changing the length?

The technique used to remove bulk from the hair without changing the length is referred to as thinning. This process involves using specific tools such as thinning shears or scissors designed to selectively cut some strands of hair while leaving others intact, thereby reducing the overall volume without impacting the overall length of the hair. Thinning is especially beneficial for clients with thick hair who want a lighter, more manageable appearance without sacrificing length.

Layering, on the other hand, involves cutting the hair at various lengths to create dimension and style, which does indeed alter the length of the hair. Texturizing can also involve cutting techniques but focuses more on creating texture and movement rather than merely reducing bulk. Fringing typically refers to a style feature, often creating shorter, wispy bangs, and does not specifically address bulk removal.
