A sleek straight length with razored tips suits those who want movement and a soft, broken edge instead of a hard blunt line. It flatters square, round, and oblong faces by tapering the ends to a point. Best on straight to lightly wavy medium hair; very fine hair should keep the razoring light, and coarse hair gains welcome softness.
Ask for long, straight lengths finished with a razor at the ends to create a tapered, textured, feathered point rather than a blunt baseline. Request the razor used only on the tips and a few face-framing pieces, not throughout, to avoid over-thinning. Flat-iron smooth so the razored ends fall in soft, separated points.
Trim every 8 to 10 weeks, ideally re-razored to keep the soft tips from frizzing. Daily styling is moderate: flat-iron smooth, then run a drop of serum through the ends to control the razored tips and add shine.
A sharp razor in skilled hands cuts cleanly and adds texture. A dull razor or heavy-handed work can fray the ends and cause frizz, so the technique and tool matter.
Use it sparingly on fine hair. Light razoring at just the tips adds softness, but heavy razoring removes too much density and can leave fine hair looking wispy.
Both soften the ends, but a razor creates a finer, more feathered taper, while point-cutting with scissors leaves a slightly chunkier, more controlled texture.
They can if the razor is dull or the ends dry out. Keeping ends conditioned and finishing with a smoothing serum keeps the razored tips sleek rather than fuzzy.
