How To Use Hair Thinning Scissors

[donaldrsimonn]

Hair thinning shears have one blade with teeth and one without. If you look closely at the blade with teeth, you will notice that there are small, evenly spaced grooves.


Whilst thinning shears are slightly different from texturising scissors, they both remove hair without losing the length or shape of the haircut. Thinning scissors work to remove weight from the hair, whereas texturising scissors add volume and movement to the style.

As a rule of thumb, the more teeth or grooves on a pair of thinning scissors, the more subtly the look will be altered. If you are cutting thick hair, then a pair of scissors with fewer teeth would remove the weight more quickly.


However, when working on finer hair or when you want to add that gorgeous texture, scissors with more teeth would be best suited for the job.

Dual-sided thinning shears have notches on both sides. These scissors are used while giving the haircut for thinning out the sections of hair. Because these have teeth on both blades, the hair gets cut finer. These types of thinning scissors are best for achieving a softer and blended haircut. You can use them for texturizing the hair as well so that there is no uneven finish.

These shears are only to be used on extremely thick, heavy hair and even so, require extreme caution. For your best shot at using this type of shear at home, make sure to have a consultation with your stylist and get the green light from them on how/where to use these in order to best serve your strands for a lighter fall.
