Adding texture to hair is primarily achieved through thinning techniques. Thinning involves using specialized shears or razors to selectively remove bulk from the hair, which creates a lighter, more textured appearance. This technique can enhance movement and dimension within the hairstyle, allowing for softer edges and a more natural look, especially in styles that require a degree of softness or fluidity.

While layering also contributes to texture by creating varying lengths throughout the hair, its primary purpose is to add shape and body rather than directly address the bulk. Blunt cutting and fringe cutting typically focus on creating clean, defined lines, which are less conducive to achieving texture.
