how to use thinning shears | 2024

what thinning shears are & how to use them.
*key points:
•thinning shears (also called taper shears) remove bulk/weight, blend harsh lines, and add movement
•thinning shears do not change the length of a haircut
•they can be used on wet or dry hair- you can see lines better on dry hair
•for longer hair, it is best to stay away from the actual part line and around the hairline (when using these for shorter cuts like a basic men's cut, you can use them all over the head if needed)
•teeth are always on top when using thinning shears to avoid the line caused by the straight blade being visible
•always start in the middle of the hair - if you use these at the root area, you will have shorter pieces poking out
•you can use these horizontally or vertically
