Slide Cutting

“Slide cutting can reduce weight, soften a shape or line, and increase movement and separation to the hair,” says Carole Protat, P&G Salon Professionals Education Director. Remember, Protat says, the hair must be dry in order to see and feel the weight of the hair to best judge when to slide. “To achieve a seamless slide cut, make sure shears are sharp enough to easily slide along the cuticle and avoid potential pull on the hair and pain to the client,” Protat says.
