Why should products be removed from hair prior to cutting?

Products should be removed from hair prior to cutting to ensure a clean and precise cut. Residues from styling products can weigh down the hair, leading to uneven lengths and affecting the overall shape. Additionally, removing products allows the stylist to better assess the hair's natural texture and movement, leading to a more tailored and accurate haircut. Clean hair also facilitates easier handling and reduces the risk of slip during the cutting process.
