  • Evaluate the natural texture and growth patterns of your client's hair.

  • Curly hair is tricky to work with when using a razor, because of its natural movement and texture.

  • Razor cutting is best on fine to medium textures that lack volume or separation.

  • Replace blades frequently for the most effective results.

  • Use on damp or wet hair for painless gliding.

  • Work on small sections of hair using swift, short downward motions.
