If you’re thinking about getting ahaircutsoon, consider a razor cut.

This haircutting method differs from a traditional scissor cut in a few ways.

First and foremost, a razor cut involves using anactualstraight-edge razor blade to cut the hair.

The resulting style also looks more choppy and shaggy, giving your hair tons of texture and movement.

However, while we adorepixie cuts, they definitely require more maintenance than longer hairdos.

It will give your hair a smooth, shiny look without weighing it down."

With blunt layers and subtle movement, Hillier says this cut is a great way to remove weight.

“This particular cut gives a soft textured look while maintaining structure,” she adds.

“This cut may require regular trims to ensure the shape of the haircut is clean and maintained.”
