Thinning Scissors 101: Everything You Need to Know for Perfectly Blended Hair
Thinning Shears — Control Bulk Without Ruining the Haircut
Thinning shears are designed to remove weight, manage density, and refine movement without changing overall length. Clean results depend on choosing the right tooth count for the job.
If your thinners leave lines, chew the hair, or force you to overcut, it’s almost always a mismatch between tool design and intent. Start with the option that matches the problem you’re solving.
