Thinning Shears
Q: What's a good number of teeth in one sided thinning shears to avoid thinning the hair too much?
A: Actually, the number of teeth in the thinning shears is less important than the number of passes made through the hair. Second most
important factor is the width of the teeth involved. The wider the teeth and spacing between them the larger the “chunks” of hair are
that are removed. Most wide tooth thinning shears are best used for thick naturally curly hair to remove bulk.
When selecting general purpose thinning shears, select a pair that have fairly finely spaced teeth
that are fairly slim. Remember when using them that you want to make one cut along the hair length between one-quarter of the way from
the scalp and one-quarter of the way from the ends. If the hair is extra thick and long, you can make two cuts along the length at
one-third of the length and the two-thirds mark.
The way to avoid “over-thinning” the hair is to make one pass at a time with the shears. Remember,
you can always remove more hair, but once it’s cut, it’s cut.
