Which haircutting technique involves cutting hair at an angle?

The technique of cutting hair at an angle is known as beveling. Beveling involves creating softer, graduated lengths in the hair by cutting at an angle, which allows the hair to lay smoothly and adds dimension to the overall hairstyle. This method is often used to frame the face or to blend different lengths together without a harsh transition.

Layering, while it can involve angled cuts, primarily focuses on removing bulk and creating varying lengths throughout the hair. Fading is primarily associated with shorter hairstyles, particularly in men's cuts, where the hair gradually shortens from longer to shorter lengths, usually on the sides and back. Graduating also involves cutting hair at an angle but is more specific to creating a layered effect where lengths are transitioned from short to longer. However, the term specifically tied to the technique of angling hair cuts is beveling.
