What is removing bulk from the hair referred to as?

Layering
Texturizing
Thinning
Blending

The correct answer is: Thinning

The term "removing bulk" refers to the process of thinning the hair. This technique involves cutting out some of the strands to create a lighter, softer appearance. Layering (A) involves cutting different lengths of hair to add volume and dimension. Texturizing (B) involves cutting or chipping into the ends of the hair to create a textured effect. Blending (D) is the technique of blending different colors or hair extensions into your natural hair for a seamless look. None of these options specifically refer to the removal of bulk from the hair, making C the most accurate answer. However, thinning can also be referred to as "razoring" or "scissor-over-comb" which may have caused some confusion.
