Thinning hair to graduated lengths using a sliding movement with shear blades partially open is slithering
The slicing technique removes bulk and adds movement through the lengths of the hair

A version of the slicing technique that creates a visual separation in the hair is carving
A tool attached to clippers that cuts the hair to the exact length is length guard attachment
When using the clipper-over-comb technique, the length is determined by the angle of the comb
