Here's why:
* Wet hair: When hair is very wet, it stretches more easily. This can lead to uneven cuts and difficulty controlling the hair during the cutting process.
* Dry hair: Razor cutting dry hair can cause damage, split ends, and a rough, uneven texture.
* Damp hair: Damp hair provides the right amount of slip for the razor to glide smoothly, allowing for precise cuts and a softer, textured finish. It's easier to control and less prone to damage than when it's dry.
However, the specific level of dampness can depend on the hair type, the desired result, and the stylist's preference. Some stylists may prefer slightly wetter hair for certain techniques or hair types.
Ultimately, it's best to consult with a professional stylist for personalized advice on razor cutting techniques for your specific hair type and desired style.
