Effilating is a form of which haircutting technique?

• A. A texturizing technique
• B. A coloring technique
• C. A conditioning technique
• D. A smoothing technique

Answer: (A)

Effilating reduces bulk and adds movement by texturizing the hair. Using thinning shears or a razor, small amounts of hair are removed in targeted areas, which softens lines, blends layers, and creates a more natural, flexible shape without shortening the overall length. That focus on changing texture and weight is what makes it a texturizing technique. It isn’t about color, conditioning, or a smoothing finish, which are different aims in styling.
