Which haircutting technique is used to create volume at the crown?

The technique used to create volume at the crown is point cutting or texturizing. Point cutting involves cutting the ends of the hair at an angle rather than straight across, which helps to add texture and volume by allowing the hair to sit more freely and create a more layered appearance. This technique is ideal for achieving lift and movement in the hair, particularly at the crown where volume is often desired.

Texturizing, a broader term, encompasses several methods that reduce bulk and enhance body and movement in the hair. By strategically removing weight from specific areas while maintaining length, it can create the illusion of fuller hair, especially around the crown where it is often necessary to add height.

Other methods like blunt cutting maintain the hair at a single length, which may weigh the hair down rather than add volume. Clipper over comb is typically used for shorter styles and for creating shape and blend rather than volume. Slide cutting, though it can soften lines and layers, is also not primarily focused on adding volume but rather on creating texture. Thus, point cutting and texturizing are the preferred techniques for achieving that desired lift at the crown.
