Is texture important?

Texture adds a whole new dimension to hairstyles, transforming them from flat and one-dimensional to visually captivating and full of life.

Whether you're working with short or long hair, texture plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall aesthetic.  By strategically incorporating different textures into hair, depth and movement will take the look to the next level. It can be achieved through various techniques, such as scissor and/or razor cutting, styling, permanent thermal hair smoothing/straightening and most commonly with hair coloring.

Working with Oribe Hair Care for over a decade as well as Bumble & bumble prior to that, we are forever thankful for the many moods and iterations of texture that can be obtained with world class hair products.

One of the key benefits of texture is its ability to amplify the natural beauty of the hair. It adds volume, body, and dimension, making the hair appear thicker and fuller.  For those with fine or thin hair, adding texture can be a game-changer, instantly transforming limp locks into a voluminous masterpiece.

Texture also allows for endless creativity in hair design. With the right techniques and tools, a myriad of looks, ranging from soft and romantic to edgy and avant-garde. Texturizing techniques like layering, razor cutting, or point cutting are used to add both movement and shape.

Moreover, texture can be used strategically to highlight or soften certain features. By adding texture to specific areas, such as around the face or at the ends of the hair, you can draw attention to these focal points and create a flattering frame for the face. On the other hand, using texture to soften harsh lines or angles can help deemphasize and create a more balanced and flattering look.

Texture is also a fantastic tool for enhancing hair color. When light hits textured hair, it creates a play of shadows and highlights, adding depth and dimension to the color. This can make even a simple hair color appear multi-dimensional and vibrant.

Texture is fundamental in hair design, as it has the power to amplify from ordinary to extraordinary. Whether for volume, movement, or visual interest, texture is essential.
