The process of removing excess bulk without shortening hair length is called thinning. Thinning is a technique used to remove some of the weight from the hair, making it easier to style and manage without altering the overall hair length significantly. This process involves cutting some hairs shorter than others, using special scissors called thinning shears, which have notched blades to selectively cut some strands and not others.
Layering and graduating are techniques that involve cutting the hair to varying lengths to create shape and movement, hence they can change the hair length. Tapering involves cutting the hair gradually shorter toward the ends, which can also affect the length. Thus, the correct term for the process of removing bulk without affecting the overall length is thinning.
