How To Thin Hair With Thinning Shears<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thinning shears have a two-blade scissor design, one of which has teeth and the other does not. These teeth appear as little gaps on the blade&#8217;s surface, making removing hair quickly and consistently easier. This procedure reduces excessive thickness, transitions are made more smoothly, and various hair parts are beautifully blended.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_the_right_hair_scissors\"><\/span>Use the right hair scissors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-363 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/japaneseshears.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/how-to-thin-out-hair-with-thinning-shears.png\" alt=\"how to thin out hair with thinning shears\" width=\"720\" height=\"718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/japaneseshears.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/how-to-thin-out-hair-with-thinning-shears.png 720w, https:\/\/japaneseshears.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/how-to-thin-out-hair-with-thinning-shears-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/japaneseshears.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/how-to-thin-out-hair-with-thinning-shears-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing the right hair scissors for thinning hair involves considering the scissor type, blade design, and your specific hair texture. Opt for professional hair-thinning scissors with serrated or notched blades, as they create softer and more natural-looking results by blending the hair seamlessly. Look for scissors with a moderate tooth count (between 30 to 40 teeth) for fine hair and a lower count (around 20 to 30 teeth) for thicker hair.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ergonomic handle design is crucial for comfort during use. Prioritise high-quality materials such as stainless steel for durability. Selecting thinning scissors tailored to your hair type and preferences will yield the best results. Consult a professional hairstylist for advice before making a purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Checkout these Amazing Thinning Shears:\u00a0 <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jaguar-solingen.com\/en\/scissors\/which-scissors-suit-me\/pre-style\/1023\/relax-40?c=4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Jaguar Relax 40 thinning shears<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-by-Step_Guide_to_How_To_Thin_Hair_With_Thinning_Shears\"><\/span>Step-by-Step Guide to\u00a0 How To Thin Hair With Thinning Shears:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preparing_Your_Hair\"><\/span>Preparing Your Hair:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start with clean, dry hair.
