What technique is recommended for blending short hair with long hair?

Scissor-over-comb is a highly effective technique for blending short hair with long hair. This method involves using scissors to cut the hair while it lies against a comb, allowing the stylist to control the length and create a seamless transition between different hair lengths. The comb holds the hair at the desired angle, enabling precise cuts that blend the short and long strands together smoothly. This technique is particularly beneficial in achieving a natural look, as it allows for detailed texturing and layering.

Using clippers can give a more uniform length but may not provide the soft blend needed between differing lengths. Although point cutting and razor cutting are also techniques that create texture and remove bulk, they are not specifically focused on blending short hair into long hair, making scissor-over-comb the optimal choice for achieving a smooth transition.
