The removal of excess bulk from the hair is called:

  1. Layering

  2. Trimming

  3. Thinning

  4. Blending

The correct answer is: Thinning

Thinning is the process of removing excess bulk from the hair, resulting in a lighter and more even appearance. Layering is the technique of creating different lengths in the hair for added texture, and blending is the process of seamlessly blending different lengths of hair together. Trimming, on the other hand, is the general term for cutting hair to maintain its current length and shape. Therefore, C is the most appropriate answer for the given question.
