Question: 1 / 50

Which thinning method is performed with shears?

Chopping

Slicing

Slithering

Thinning is a technique used by hairstylists to remove excess hair volume to create a more manageable and lightweight hairstyle. There are various methods to thin hair, but the most commonly used method is called "slithering." Slithering is performed with shears, also known as thinning shears, which have teeth on one or both blades to remove hair in a scattered, choppy manner. This method is different from chopping, where hair is cut straight across and can result in a harsh, blunt line, and slicing, where hair is cut at angles to remove volume. Razoring, on the other hand, involves using a razor tool on the hair, which can create a wispy texture, but it is not typically used for thinning purposes. Therefore, the correct implied answer is C.
