Hair Thinning Shears

Hair thinning shears, also known as texturizing or chunking shears are quite unique compared to general cutting scissors. If you’ve ever seen a pair of texturizing shears you will have noticed the formation of the blades which feature serrated or ‘toothed’ edges to make texturizing hair easier. These unique shears are designed for decreasing volume in thick hair by removing most of the bulk. For example, if hair tends to take on a ‘lampshade’ look, you can apply the texturizing shears to it to remove the volume at the bottom to even the style out. With texturizing shears you can also create layers or add texture to hair. They work towards increasing manageability in seemingly unmanageable hair.

Thinning shears can also be used to blend layered hair without giving it too much of a spiky, choppy look. When using them on thick, curly hair you can easily tame the volume and make it much easier to manage without altering the general style, which is the great benefit of thinning shears.

Try to avoid using thinning shears on fine or thin hair because they require all the volume they can get and with thinning shears you’ll be robbing the fine hair of its much needed body, making it look even thinner.

If you want to buy your own pair of thinning shears, you can find many different pairs depending on the type of styling job they perform. There are various sizes and blades to cut in different thicknesses, so you need to determine what your specific needs are before you set out to purchase a pair. Just remember to keep your eyes peeled for convenience and efficiency!

Let's discuss thinning shear blades. As mentioned before the edges are serrated, and the number of teeth can differ depending on the role each pair of thinning shears plays. These teeth make the shears a lot more effective at reducing volume and bulk, often removing chunks in single cuts. In general, thinning shears can decrease 20%-50% bulk to keep styles balanced.

A recommended pair of thinning shears belong to the Saki Katana Hairdressing Set which includes a hairdressing scissor and thinning scissor. Both feature sharp blades constructed of high quality Japanese steel and the thinning scissor in particular can handle extra volume and bulk well, cutting smoothly and quickly. Many professional hairstylists prefer these thinning shears over the rest, but beginners can also benefit from their convenient and comfortable functionality.
