The technique that is most effective for blending the line of demarcation between two different lengths of hair is blending or texturizing. This method helps to seamlessly transition between distinct lengths by softening the harsh line that can occur when different lengths are cut and allows for a more integrated look.

Blending often involves the use of specific cutting tools and techniques that reduce bulk and allow for a more natural flow of the hair, making it look cohesive and polished. Texturizing can also add movement and body to the hair, enhancing the overall style while keeping the lengths from looking sharply contrasted.

Slicing, while it can also create texture, is primarily a technique used for removing weight or adding movement in a specific area rather than blending two distinct lengths. Cutting is a broader term that refers to various haircutting techniques but does not specifically address the blending of different lengths. Layering is a technique focused on creating varying lengths throughout the hair for volume and shape, but it doesn't necessarily focus on blending two existing lengths together in the way that texturizing and blending do.
