• Regular alternation of short and long lengths

Taper shears, also known as thinning shears, are used on the ends of the hair to:

A trimmer, also known as an edger, is a tool used to:

Texturizing reduces bulk without:

• Lengthening the hair

• Adding volume to the hair

• Adding additional movement to the hair

• Shortening the overall appearance of the hair

A technique performed on the ends of the hair to reduce bulk, allow for mobility, soften the ends and blend the weight lines is called:

• slithering
