What is a common indicator of well-executed razor cutting?

Heavy bulk at the ends
Smooth and blended ends
Frayed edges
Uneven lengths

The correct answer is: Smooth and blended ends

A common indicator of well-executed razor cutting is smooth and blended ends. When razor cutting is performed correctly, the hair should have a soft, seamless appearance, with the ends transitioning gradually rather than appearing blunt or heavy. This technique is designed to remove weight while maintaining the hair's natural movement and texture. The smoothness and blending achieved through skilled razor cutting contribute to a polished look, enhancing the style's overall aesthetic. In contrast, heavy bulk at the ends, frayed edges, and uneven lengths indicate less precision and skill in the technique, leading to an unrefined and potentially chaotic appearance in the cut.
