Enhancing color
Texturizing ends

The correct answer is: Removing bulk

Thinning is primarily used for removing bulk from hair. This technique involves using specialized thinning shears or scissors designed to selectively reduce the amount of hair without significantly shortening the length. By removing bulk, hairstylists can make thick or heavy hair feel lighter and more manageable, which improves the overall appearance and styling options for the client. The process of thinning aids in reducing the density that may make certain hairstyles look bulky or unbalanced. This is especially beneficial for clients with thick hair who want a more streamlined look. It helps create a softer finish and allows for better layering and movement within the hairstyle. Additionally, removing bulk can improve the hair's natural texture and enhance its flow, making it easier to style. This is distinct from other techniques aimed at creating volume or enhancing color, which serve different purposes in hairstyling.
