What is another term for tapering?

Fading
Layering
Texturizing
Thinning

The correct answer is: Fading

Another term for tapering is "fading." In barbering, tapering and fading both refer to the gradual shortening of hair length from the top down to the neckline, creating a seamless transition in length. This technique is commonly used in creating various hairstyles and is an essential skill for barbers. Layering focuses on creating different lengths of hair within the same section, texturizing refers to adding texture to the hair, and thinning involves reducing the bulk of hair by removing some of the hair's thickness.
