Hair Thinning Scissors?

Does any one know how to use them? I'm going to get one of my relatives to do it, but I need to know how they should do it. My hair is super thick and it needs to be thinned for summer.



Thanks in Advance!

The comb part of the scissors goes on top of the hair, the actual scissor part goes underneath the hair. I have super thick hair too and when I was younger my mom always thinned my hair. Basically just take a section and make a couple of cuts, starting a few inches from the scalp. Do this around your hair. Start off slow, you don't want to cut off too much at first. As my mom always says, "you can always take more off but you can't put it back on!" Have fun and I hope this helps!

Thinning shears usually make the problem worse.....If you thin the hair towards the scalp it will add volume.......To have a pro do some vertical slicing in your under lengths with a razor

DO NOT use thinning shears near the root of the hair and not the ends, make sure you cut right in the middle. Thinning shears are used a lot to blend hair too so you don't have straight choppy layers. If one of your relatives have a "razor" that would be better to thin out hair.

I am a hair stylist, most salons will charge less if you are only getting thinned. I charge $5.00 the price of a bang trim.You want to be careful if you do it your self. Texture and shape of the hair will effect how you will need to thin it.

I'd seriously consider letting a professional do it. You don't want to have Aunt Suzy (or whoever) leave you looking like a poodle.

If you want thinner hair and a fun, choppy style, you can try this instead of using scissors: While your hair is damp, twist small chunks of hair and run a shaving razor over the hair, starting toward the top making rapid strokes, to letting it taper off to the ends. Make sure the razor is new so it is sharp enough. Just try it a little bit with smaller chunks of hair at first, and if you like what's happening, play around with it some more :)
