Razors are used in haircutting to achieve what effect?

A blunt effect
A layered effect
A softer effect on the ends of the hair
A texturizing effect

The correct answer is: A softer effect on the ends of the hair

Razors are used in haircutting to achieve a softer effect on the ends of the hair. This is because razors are designed to create wispy, frayed ends, giving a softer and more natural look to the haircut. Option A, a blunt effect, is achieved with scissors, not razors. Option B, a layered effect, can be achieved with both scissors and razors, but razors are better for creating a softer look. Option D, texturizing, is a separate technique that involves cutting into the hair to remove bulk and create texture, but it is not specifically related to the use of razors. Therefore, option C is the most accurate and specific answer.
