What is the process of gradually increasing the length of the hair across the head called?

Layering
Tapering
Thinning
Texturizing

The correct answer is: Tapering

Tapering is the process of gradually increasing the length of the hair across the head. This technique helps to create a smooth and blended transition from shorter hair to longer hair, providing a well-structured and polished look. Layering involves cutting the hair at different lengths to create volume and texture, while thinning is the process of reducing the volume of hair by removing excess bulk. Texturizing is a technique used to add texture and movement to the hair, often involving the use of specialized cutting tools or techniques. However, in the context of gradually increasing the length of the hair across the head, tapering is the most appropriate term.
