Texturizing in haircutting refers specifically to the process of removing bulk from the hair. This technique allows for more movement and can enhance the hair’s natural texture, making it lighter and easier to manage. It is often accomplished using various cutting techniques like point cutting or using texturizing shears, which create softer edges. By removing some of the weight from the hair, texturizing helps achieve a style that looks full yet is easy to style and maintain.

The other options, while related to hair care and styling, do not align with the specific definition of texturizing. Adding color pertains to changing the hue of the hair, curling involves creating waves or curls through various techniques, and straightening focuses on smoothing the hair's surface. None of these processes involve the reduction of bulk or enhancing the hair's manageability through textural techniques.
