Why do stylists chip into the length of long fine hair? Does anyone actually want this done to her h

I have shared my bad shredded haircut story with others and have yet to hear of any woman who wanted the length of her hair disrupted by anything other than defined layers. Why has this shredded cut happened to any of us? Long haired women want shiny, bouncy, healthy hair. This cut really does just look like split ends sticking out all over head and all the little pieces just snag and break. So in addition to making hair look damaged it seems designed to actually cause damage. Why is this technique ever used on fine, longhair?

As a hairstylist, I am not overly fond of the razor either. It works great on some textures. If someone wants a choppier or textured look on the ends, I do it with my scissors. It still keeps the ends looking nice, not shredded.

I think stylists make up crappy styles to see if they will actually catch on, if anyone will actually like them, maybe they take bets.



It's like a morbid curiousity and a way to break up the monotony of "the same except shorter".

I hate that new look. Worse then washing and not combing which was the thing about 12 or 15 years ago.



I cut my own hair now. I say i can do a marginal haircut free as apposed to paying someone who is good one day and lousy the other 4 days of the week. I used to be a salon owner. Not a hair dresser just an owner and they don't make'm like they used to. I



like a long bang and boy they butcher iot every time. Like they are deaf when i tell them I like it long. Excuse is to get off bad ends. Ha! Bull!

It is a technique used to make layers blend or to add volume and texture where there is none present. Often, with straight hair, whether it's fine, medium or coarse, when a blunt or straight edged cut is used, the layers do not blend. You can see horizontal or vertical lines in the hair. Chipping is supposed to prevent that. It does not "cause damage" but hair can look choppy and uneven if the technique is done properly. If you have little pieces snagging and breaking, it's isn't the cutting technique. Fine, straight hair, by the way, is quite difficult to cut and a straight line is even more so. Hairdressers that have been doing hair for more than a minute or two should have had enough experience to know when this technique is appropriate although I work with stylists who use this technique regularly. It actually is an excellent technique when applied properly. If you have had a bad experience with it yourself, I recommend asking your stylist for a more blunt cut or cleaner edge, or perhaps finding a stylist that regularly attends continuing education classes. Hairdressers often pick up techniques by seeing them done by co-workers but without an understanding of how the technique is supposed to function the results can be less than desirable. Not all hairdressers value continuing education. I would suggest you find one that does.

It is a misguided attempt to give you volume. Unfortunately not all hair behaves the same.



I know exactly what you mean. I have cut my own hair since I was 12. (Norton is a Girl)

The razor-cut hairstyle is common and hip amongs the HOng Kong fashion teens.



Guys and girls look the same.



It is so ugly, I think that hairdressers use the razor because they are lazy and this technique seems to CUT the service TIME SHORT. I have had the razor used on my hair before, and let me tell you. My hair was not nicely layered. Instead of my hair falling in gradual layers, they were short and long in ALL THE WRONG PLACES.

The razor should never be used on fine hair,it makes it to thin and frayed. It doesn't create volume,it actually takes out precious volume that us fine haired girls actually need. I have read that the enemy of fine hair is weight and it needs to be taken out. That's cr-p. I've had this fine hair on my head for 36 years, I know what works and what doesn't work on my hair better then a hairdresser. Razoring fine hair looks horrible and ruins it. I don't care what any stylist says. I've had it done to my hair without my permisson and it was ruined. The ends of my hair were so fragile that they broke and my hair was so incredibly thinned out that I looked like I was going bald. I loath razor cuts.
