What does razor cutting tend to produce that traditional shears do not?
a.Heavier, blunter perimeter ends
b.Tapered, softened ends with built-in texture
c.Equal length across all sections
d.Permanent removal of hair from the follicle
Explanation
A razor slices the hair on an angle, so each strand is shorter on one side and longer on the other. This creates a tapered, feathered, textured end. Shears make a clean perpendicular cut producing a blunt edge. Cutting does not remove hair from the follicle.
