Thinning is a technique specifically designed to reduce bulk and create texture in hair. It involves the use of thinning shears, which have teeth on one side and a solid blade on the other. When applied, thinning shears remove some of the hair's density while maintaining length, leading to a more textured and layered appearance. This technique is particularly beneficial for clients with thick hair, as it allows for easier styling and movement.

Other techniques, while they may affect the overall style or finish of the hair, do not primarily focus on adding texture. Blow drying primarily alters the volume and shape of the hair by using heat and airflow. Flat ironing straightens hair and can add shine but does not contribute to texture in the same way thinning does. Coloring simply changes the hair’s color and can enhance texture visually but does not physically add texture to the hair itself. Therefore, thinning stands out as the most effective method for achieving added texture in the hair.
