Spending day after day cutting and shaping and blending and thinning can put a lot of stress on your muscles, but the right hair shears provide every comfort enhancing feature available. As a student, you’ll be using these shears often and on all types of hair so it’s important to invest in some quality shears that will last. Hair shears are your equipment; they are your most important tool. You wouldn’t expect a Computer Science major to succeed on a dated, slow, school-issued machine, so don’t expect yourself to achieve your full potential without the best tools available.

Using the correct blade is another important part of learning how to cut and style hair. There are two popular blade styles used today: convex and bevel. Bevel blades have been around for a long time and are the oldest style used today. They tend to require more force to open and close the hair scissors and after time, this really adds strain and tension to the muscles in your fingers and hands. Just consider how many times you open and close your shears during one hair cut. The convex blade is a newer, updated blade and is used on nearly all training shears. It is a state of the art, smooth blade that requires less force. Convex blades are required for slide cutting because bevel blades will leave the hair choppy and gapped.

The tensions system on professional hair shears have evolved over the years to make the adjustments easier and more accurate. There are five tensions systems on professional hair shears: The Coin Adjustable, Round Click Dial Adjustable, Leaf Spring Assembly, Rotating Thumb Ball Bearing and Ball Bearing Pivot System. The purpose of a tension system is to allow the hair stylist to adjust how the shears open and close. If the tension is too tight, the shears will cut the hair poorly and it will cause a lot of unnecessary damage to the hair shears. If the tension is too loose, the blades will simply bend the hair rather than cutting it. The coin adjustable system is the oldest tensions system available; it is considered an industry standard and very dependable. The round click dial adjustable tension system is similar to the coin adjustable system but it increases or decreases tension on the hair shears with each click so the stylist can more easily gauge the tension. The leaf spring adjustable tensions system is modified version of the previous two styles that allows for much more control and accuracy when adjusting the tension. The balance it offers to hair shears results in a longer lasting set of scissors. Both of the ball bearing tensions styles allow for more stability and movement when using the hair scissors.

The finger rest on professional hair shears is an important part of comfort and stability. It can reduce muscle stress and prevent injury, especially CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) and RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury). Some stylists like finger rests and some do not; it is based purely on preference. Because of this, some professional hair shears come with a finger rest and some don’t. On some shears, the finger rest is removable, allowing each student to try cutting hair with and without the rest. No matter what their preference, students will be able to work comfortable with these kinds of shears.

One more important and innovative feature on professional hair shears is the swivel thumb ring. Many scissors are manufactured with stationary thumb rings, but for a new hair stylist, it is important to use scissors that can adjust to his or her preferences. It’s also valuable in that it give a student the opportunity to try using the scissors at different angles to help decide what works best. Many high quality shears have a thumb ring that adjusts to any angle to increase comfort and leverage and to provide options to each new stylist.

Professional hair shears come in a vast variety of shapes, sizes and designs. They range from very inexpensive and very low quality to extremely expensive and the highest quality. Purchasing shears as a stylist is an investment, and should not be taken lightly. The least expensive pair of professional hair shears is almost never the best option; with poor quality scissors your will deliver poor quality cuts and hinder your career. It’s important to invest in the best tools not only for your career, but during your schooling as well.

If you are a hairstylist and are deciding weather or not you want to buy a pair texturizing scissors then you will want to keep reading. You will discover why it is important to add a pair of texturizing scissors to your hair kit. I have been a stylist for 14 years and I wouldn’t know what to do without them.

Most of our clients need some type of texture to their hair. Yes, perms and color help to get that added volume and texture but, what if your clients want their hair to be natural? Adding a little texture with a pair of texturizing shears can add just enough volume that your client won’t feel that his or her hair is flat and lifeless.

Texturizing Shears

There are always new techniques when it comes to coloring, cutting or perming the hair and it always takes practice when you are first learning these techniques. Learning to use texturizing scissors may be a bit scary at first but, just like anything else you will get more comfortable with it as you use it. The most difficult part is finding people who will let you “practice” on their hair. A great way to start using this technique is by using mannequins or dolls with long hair.

No matter what service you are performing your job will become quicker and easier when the best hair tools are used. It is the same when using a pair of  texturizing shears. They are versatile in that you can use them for both adding texture to fine hair and taking out the bulk in thick hair. You can also cut with them both vertically or horizontally. A texture shear that has teeth that are closer together is great for your clients that have fine hair. The more teeth it has the less hair it will remove.

I  recommended investing in a pair of them if you perform a number of haircuts daily. If you maintain them and protect them against any damage then they will be an investment worth making. This type of  professional hair stylist tool can be both a big time saver and produce great results. They can even help to build your clientele because, if you have a happy client they are more than likely going to send you referrals. This will make the investment seem a lot more reasonable.

At this point, you need to hold the shears parallel to the direction of the hair and use the tips to cut the hair. He said that layering hair can create problems and texturizing hair can fix those problems. 

Is it Hard to Use Thinning Shears if You’re Not a Hairdresser?

Texturizing shears and thinning shears are the same thing – there are different sizes of these shears and some people think channeling shears are the only ones called texturizing shears.

Texturizing Hair Using Thinning Shears 

To achieve this look, Emmanuel recommends you texturize at different angles (flat, angled, straight into the hair) using what he calls the Piquetage Technique. Use thinning shears to blend layers and create better flow.
