Which description best matches the point-cutting technique?

• A. Point-cutting involves cutting into the ends at an angle to create texture and reduce a heavy line.
• B. Point-cutting creates precision lines without texture.
• C. Point-cutting uses straight blunt shears.
• D. Point-cutting permanently changes curl pattern.

Answer: (B)

Point-cutting is a texturizing move that uses the tips of the scissors to cut into the hair ends at an angle. This creates texture, softens the weight of the ends, and breaks up a heavy line for a more natural, feathered look. It’s not about making precise, clean lines or using straight blunt cuts, and it doesn’t permanently change curl pattern—the technique mainly alters the edge and texture of the cut. So the description that matches point-cutting describes cutting into the ends at an angle to create texture and reduce a heavy line. The other ideas would imply precision without texture, a blunt tool approach, or a permanent curl change, which aren’t what point-cutting accomplishes.
