Hair thinning scissors: how to choose and use?

Thinning scissors are a professional tool for giving a hairstyle completeness, ease and well-groomed. 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 will also not be able to 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" of the hair. Despite the fact that they have one task, there is a wide variety of models for hair thinning.

Hair thinning can be of several types:

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

Thick hair requires root treatment. It is necessary to visually reduce hair volume. Often we get tired of a pile of hair, and root treatment will simplify life with heavy hair. For thin and straight hair, this method is not suitable. Basal processing is used to highlight individual curls. The hairs are cut with diagonal stripes directly under the root, and the distance between the first and second strip must be left at least one centimeter.

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

There are several methods for performing hair thinning:

1. "Slip";
2. gear cut;
3. point cut;
4. "an injection";
5. pluck;
6. on a twisted lock;
7. tupation.

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

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

Before buying professional scissors, you need to understand the differences between ordinary scissors and thinning. If you chose the latter, then decide whether to choose one-way or two-way.

Simple scissors for cutting - this is a one-piece cloth, a straight line. Thinning scissors are a cloth on which there are many small teeth. Simple scissors cut the entire strand, and thinning - only part of the hair.

Scissors also differ in teeth: their number, location, frequency, shape, sharpening method.

Bilateral thinning scissors are recommended for beginner hairdressers. With this model, there is less chance of spoiling the hair and hairstyle as a whole, since they thin out the hair to a lesser extent.

If you work simultaneously with two scissors, in order not to constantly change hands, many brands offer kits “Direct + thinning”.

The rules for choosing a scissors for a haircut at home are quite simple. The tool should be convenient and practical, but also at an affordable price, as they are bought for long-term operation. The basic rules for choosing thinning scissors are similar for a beginning hairdresser, and for a mother who wants to cut her children on her own, and not give money to hairdressers. 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 give the hair a regular shape, and only after that you can proceed to the final stage - thinning. You need to do it on dry, laid hair. This will help you look through each strand that needs processing. When you find the right strand, you need to lift it and cut the ends. You can raise the strand with a comb or fingers.

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

When used correctly, thinning shears will last you a long time. Consider a few rules that have been developed by hairdressers.
