Razor cut

Razor cut

Razor Cutting is a hair cutting process in which sharp, knife like razors are used to excise, slice and texturize hair. Razors were used in the early days to create the bob style, a trend made famous by Louise Brooks.In addition, Japanese traditional hair razoring tools, named nihindo have been used for ages.Japanese and Asian hairstylists are commonly experienced with razors, since this is a practical method to create movement in straight hairstyles.

Razor cutting requires a higher quality razor than an average one, although most sharp razors can be used to do the task.Usually this razor is located in the top compartment of a hand grip.

The stylist gathers the individual's hair, and razors the hairs at an angle, sliding it down the shaft.Microscope pictures have shown that razor-cutting gives a healthier cut to the hair.

Hair cutting razor tools include the straight edge razor, the razor-comb, and the razor-shaper.

For home haircutting, a razor-comb is often recommended, since it is easy to use and creates a softer, healthier look than any scissors.

Numerous celebrities opt for razor cutting since it makes a more natural looking and healthier style, e.g. Meg Ryan, Sharon Stone, and Victoria Beckham.

Razor-cutting is not only used for choppy haircuts: a blunt but softer edge can be achieved with a straight edge razor, professional and trendy blunt styles can be created with the added softness and natural texture of a razor-cut.
