How to Choose Tooth Count (and Why It Matters)

14–20 Tooth → Structural Texturizers

• Purpose: Debulk and shape heavier hair; shift weight intentionally.
• Use on: Dense, coarse, curly, or thick areas that need mass reduction.
• Effects: Leaves visible texture and movement (not a soft blur).
• Best for: Barbers and stylists building structure behind the ear, removing baseline heaviness, or carving shape.

30–40 Tooth → Blending Texturizers

• Purpose: Seamless blending, softening transitions, and polishing surface texture.
• Use on: Layer transitions, face frames, bobs, and lived-in finishes.
• Effects: Removes small, controlled amounts of hair for an invisible blend.
• Best for: Refining and finishing without leaving tracks.

Why Professional Texturizers Win (No Snagging. No Tracks.)

Lower-quality or mismatched tools grab and tear, causing push marks and choppy texture. Ours are built with:

• Convex edges for smooth, controlled cutting action.
• Precision tooth geometry & spacing to prevent chunking.
• Japanese 440C or VG10 steel for long-lasting sharpness and glide.
• Ergonomic handles to reduce fatigue during detail work.

Pro Tips

• If you’re “fixing” blends by over-cutting, switch to a 30–40 tooth for refinement.
• For dense corners that won’t lay down, reach for 14–20 tooth and control your angle and depth.
• Build a two-texturizer system (one for structure, one for finish) to work faster and cleaner.
