razor cut

Sharp styling technique

A razor cut is a haircutting technique using a straight razor rather than scissors, producing softer, more textured edges.

The razor slices hair at an angle, creating wispy layers and reducing bulk: She asked for a razor cut to add movement to her thick hair.

The term also refers to the resulting hairstyle itself.
