1. What Are Texturizing Shears?

These specialized tools have a blade with teeth that remove select strands of hair while leaving the rest intact. They come in various tooth counts—from chunky 10-tooth shears for bold texture to refined 40-tooth blenders for seamless finishes.

2. The Benefits of Texturizing

  1. Removes weight without sacrificing length: Great for dense hair types.
  2. Softens layers and edges: Eliminates harsh lines for a natural look.
  3. Creates movement: Ideal for lived-in, airy styles.

3. How to Use Texturizing Shears Like a Pro

Work on dry hair for accuracy. Start mid-shaft and slide out gently as you close the blades. For thick hair, make two light passes instead of one deep cut. Use the natural fall of the hair as your guide. Always finish with a pair of dry cutters to clean and define the ends ✂️.

4. Choosing the Right Texturizer

What’s the difference between thinning and texturizing shears?

Can I use texturizing shears on fine hair?

Yes—but limit your passes and work mid-shaft to ends to avoid gaps or flyaways.
