Which haircutting technique is typically used to create softer lines in hair?

Point cutting is a technique used to create softer lines in hair by removing weight and adding texture to the ends. This method involves using the tips of the scissors to cut into the hair rather than making a straight across cut. By cutting into the ends at an angle, point cutting helps to break up any harsh lines created by blunt cuts, resulting in a more blended and softer appearance. This is especially useful for creating softer, more natural-looking haircuts that move easily.

The other techniques, while having their own specific purposes, do not inherently focus on achieving softer lines. Blunt cutting creates a sharp, clean edge which can lead to more defined lines. Texturizing is primarily used to reduce bulk and add movement, and layer cutting involves cutting hair at different lengths to add dimension, which can sometimes result in more defined lines as well. However, point cutting is specifically designed to address the need for softer transitions in a haircut.
