Understanding Thinning Shears -
What They Are and Why They Matter

Thinning shears are a specialized tool designed to remove bulk without changing the hair's overall length. Unlike regular shears, they feature teeth on one or both blades, which allow for selective cutting. This makes them perfect for creating a smooth, blended look.

Smooth Transitions

Blend layers seamlessly, leaving no harsh lines behind.

Lightweight Finish

Ideal for clients with thick hair, these shears reduce weight, making hair easier to style and manage.

How to Use Thinning Shears
- Tips for Professionals

Get High-Quality Cutting Technique Education in your School or Salon.

Use a gentle, controlled motion when working with thinning shears. Start with a small section and gradually increase coverage to avoid over-thinning.

Angle your shears vertically for a natural blend or horizontally for more significant volume reduction.

Thinning shears are designed to remove bulk and create smooth transitions between layers, while texturizing shears focus on adding movement and shape. Both are essential tools for versatile styling.

Yes, thinning shears can be used on a variety of hair types, but it’s essential to adjust your technique based on hair texture and thickness to avoid over-thinning.

Regular cleaning and proper storage are key. Consider sending them to Hanzo for professional sharpening to keep your shears in optimal condition.
