Switched my sectioning technique after 5 years of doing it wrong

For the longest time I would just grab hair sections with my fingers and hope for the best. It worked okay for simple cuts but anything layered or textured came out uneven. Then I took a class last March from a stylist named Deb who had been doing hair for 30 years. She showed me how to use the tail end of my comb to part exact squares instead of triangles. Total game changer for keeping tension consistent and getting clean lines. Now I take an extra 30 seconds per section and my cuts come out way more balanced. Has anyone else had a simple habit change that made a big difference in their work?

35 years in and I'm still curious what kind of cuts were you doing before the switch?

35 years" got me. I used to be all traditional cuts but this switched me hard.

Honestly the tail of the comb trick changed everything for me too. Simple but you don't think of it until someone shows you.
