Hair thinning scissors: how to choose and use?

Thinning scissors are a professional tool for completing, light and well-groomed hairstyles. Such scissors can be purchased not only by a hairdresser, but also by any girl. The accessory is quite suitable for personal use. A professional hairdresser also cannot do without thinning scissors, as they are an integral part of creating a chic haircut.

All thinning scissors have the same purpose - thinning or thinning hair. Despite the fact that they have one task, there is a wide variety of models for thinning hair.

There are several types of hair thinning:

• treatment of hair ends;
• root processing;
• hair treatment along the entire length.

Thick hair requires root treatment. It is necessary to visually reduce hair volume. We often get tired of the shock of hair, and root treatment will make life with heavy hair easier. This method will not work for thin and straight hair. Root treatment is used to highlight individual curls. The hairs are cut in diagonal strips directly under the root, and the distance between the first and second stripes must be left at least one centimeter.

Thinning along the entire length gives the hair elasticity. With the correct implementation of such a haircut, the hair becomes obedient. This method not only simplifies hair care, but can also correct the shape of the face.

There are several methods for thinning hair:

1. "slip";
2. toothed cut;
3. point cut;
4. "an injection";
5. pluck;
6. on a twisted strand;
7. blunting.

Each method has its own sequence of execution. Some of them can even be done at home.

• "Glide" is a method in which the scissors must be held parallel to the hair. Important conditions for execution are the accuracy and slow pace of processing each strand.
• There are also thinning methods that are performed even with ordinary scissors. For example, a jagged cut. Step back 1.5 cm from the ends and cut off the selected length at an angle. Then comb your hair.
• The point slice has another name - "poiting". "Poiting" is a haircut on the fingers, which allows you to thin out the thinnest strands of 1-2 mm.
• The "prick" is performed with scissors at different levels. This method achieves the "undercoat" effect.

Before buying professional scissors, you need to understand the differences between regular and thinning scissors. If you opted for the latter, then decide whether to choose one-sided or two-sided.

Simple scissors for a haircut are a solid canvas, a straight line. Thinning scissors are a blade containing many small teeth. Simple scissors cut off the entire strand, while thinning scissors cut only part of the hair.

Also, scissors differ in teeth: their number, location, frequency, shape, sharpening method.

Double-sided thinning scissors are recommended for novice hairdressers. With this model, there is less chance of ruining your hair and hairstyle in general, since they thin out the hair to a lesser extent.

If you work with two scissors at the same time, in order not to constantly change hands, many brands offer kits "Straight + thinning".

The rules for choosing scissors for a haircut at home are pretty simple. The tool should be convenient and practical, but also at an affordable price, since they are bought for long-term use. The basic rules for choosing thinning scissors are similar for a novice hairdresser and for a mother who wants to cut her kids' hair on her own, and not give money to hairdressing salons. Choose a model that fits comfortably in your hand. Pay attention to the shape and material of the rings.

Before picking up thinning scissors, it is necessary to shape the hair with ordinary copies, and only after that you can proceed to the final stage - thinning. You need to do it on dry, styled hair. This will help you see each strand that needs processing. When you have found the desired strand, you need to lift it and cut the ends. You can lift the strand with a comb or fingers.

Thinning is done from the middle of the strand, in order to give the haircut originality.

When used correctly, thinning scissors will serve you for a long time. Consider a few rules that have been developed by hairdressing experts.

• Keep the scissors in the case. The cover is necessary in order to protect the instrument from various influences.
• Always wipe down the scissors after cutting. To do this, use a soft and absorbent cloth. It not only absorbs unnecessary moisture, but also removes fine hairs.
• After use, do not leave the tool, remove it immediately so that it does not fall or get damaged.
