Texturising scissors when done correctly looks amazing. My sister used to be a hairdresser and knew how to use those scissors. Not one other hairdresser has ever thinned my hair out. So i bought my own texturising scissors and 'finish' off my hair at home after a cut. The difference in how sleek my hair looks and feels is insane. To those commenting below who say never to use texturising scissors, actually you leave the top section and a tiny row of hair at the base of the neck to not have 'frizzies'. Also, I do it myself over two sittings - one on freshly washed and styled hair after getting it cut to remove excess weight and the second removal is merely to help define the 'cut'. This way you have less chance of removing too much.
I had a stylist who knew how to do this! Unfortunately she died in an accident several years ago. How do I present this video to my stylist? Remaining polite and respectful.
Hi I’m a stylist, I would never be offended if someone asked/ showed me this video, if the hairdresser is offended then he/she is not the one you want cutting your hair. Good luck
People you dont want thick hair. the longer it gets the more headaches you get. You want to do a high ponytail? Yeah go ahead if you want a instant headache or a headache in a hour. Yes, im still growing out my hair. Yes, im going to have it thinned out lol No... its not gonna stop me from complaining 😂😂 the struggle is real lol
SAME HERE! I'm so jealous of people who can grow their hair long, all one length, and can cut some length off easily at home once a year to keep it fresh. 😭 My hair gets thick in the middle and I struggle to know how to go about thinning it myself without ruining my hair.
@@ayesha41._1 tell your dad that you want to thin out your hair to take weight off so you stop getting headaches. If he tell you no then tell him you thought he loves you and wouldn't want you to be in pain. Tell him your hair needs to be thin out. Ps. It's manipulation telling someone you thought they loved you and wouldn't want you to be in pain.
My Dad was a Barber, Mom was a Beautician and I've been thinning my hair out since the ninth grade. It's so bulky and the shorter it is the bigger it gets!
Thank you so much for the information, I been wanting to thin mine out, but I was scared I would do too much.. but I’ll buy a 20% texturizing Scissor and try it.. You have Taught me so much..
That is great Angie, glad I could explain things in a way that give you confidence to do yours. Good luck and remember go easy at first, you can always remove more as you progress.
Fan bloody tastic!! I Have to go in and give myself a full haircut at some point today, my bangs are so goddamn heavy and I think I'm gonna go in with my thinning shears to see what that does. The rest of my hair is thinning out due to age 🙄 But these friggin bangs are The biggest PIA I have. Fantastic video Jake! As Usual 😉
@@jakethompsonhair I forgot to mention that I've got the straight razor with the guard on it. It's seriously needs to be replaced so maybe I will go away go over to the beauty supply store before I attack my head tonight lol
Oh my God! I would love for you to thin out my hair! No one knows how to use thinning sheers! They always tell me to leave it alone. My old stylist used this technique on my hair and it looked beautiful. She retired. :( I've been through a lot of stylist Since then and no one knows this technique. My hair looks like crap and I were it in a bun now because I can't style it due to the thickness and heaviness of my hair. If you can recommend a stylist in the NJ area please let me know. I'm desperate for a haircut.
Awesome & Concise! Love your teaching style. Great job sir. Would you consider becoming a traveling stylist?? You could get one of those comfort vans (I could even be your driver!!), and then you can come to Marietta, GA to cut my hair! ❤ 😂 well, a girl can dream of getting such a professional cut!
My hair is straight/wavy and every time it’s been touched with thinning scissors it looks dreadful with different lengths and bits sticking up! ! My hair is very thick but i will never let anyone use those awful scissors
Same. I don't think a lot of stylists really know how to use them properly. I can see that they're exactly what I need for my hair, but, I can't find anybody who knows what they're doing with them.
They weren't using them properly then or holding them correctly. Trust me they are a god send for ppl with thick hair like myself when used correctly. You shouldn't be able to see lines at all. They were also probably cutting too close to the neck.
Nobody understands what you have explained. I just had my haircut yesterday. I am a female I’m 65 years old. My hair on top of my head is heavy and it draws down in front of my face. I cannot stand the hair in my face. I always comb it backwards, so having a heavy hairis uncontrollable it will automatically fall backwards and drive me crazy. I paid money for this haircut, but the lady would not listen to me. I told her time and time again she would talk over me and I have the worst haircut.
How do stylists get jobs when they don't already know this stuff and when to apply it?? I've had so many mediocre haircuts by stylists who don't understand when thinning is needed and how to do it properly. Shouldn't they teach this stuff in beauty school!? If you give someone a bad haircut you're pretty much disfiguring them.
Hey @ksmp, thats a loaded question w/a loaded answer. 1st off beauty school is only the beginning to their career, you don't learn everything especially advanced weight removal. So i would recommend finding a stylist that is all about advanced education or someone who has thick hair, they will at least understand your struggle to thick hair and ways to remove weight. And yes i agree there are a lot of mediocre stylist that do not understand weight removal.
My hair is exactly the same and I have thinned it out twice now, honestly you can’t really see a difference because it’s so curly but I don’t think it makes it frizzier
Hi Bolo for Jesus, I'd suggest taking out weight closer to the root of your scalp(not close to any part or hairline), avoid taking out weight towards the ends of your hair as that will make it look stringy. If you take out weight closer to your scalp you will maintain the structure of your cut towards the ends while lessing the overall weight of your hair.
@@jakethompsonhairhello I have a question I'm biracial and my hair is thick curly and wavy which is the best scissor I need to use for my hair ?😊thanks
everything wrong " whoever follows these tips will learn nothing !!!! everything is shown and nothing is shown ! which type of hair cutting goes with which thinning !!!! at what angle ? which section is pulled in which angle, how to make strand redirection .... the effect of efilir, semi-efilir scissors 16 teeth, 24, 28........, on what color, type of hair can they be used!!! how to use a thinning razor correctly, at what angle, on type of hair !!! sliding thinning , at which angle which section is pulled in which direction , thinning with a stabbing technique ....... these are tips that only confuse !!!! they don't know what each technique will look like at the end of the work!!!
My reason is I have thick hair at the middle back of my head where it honestly is hard to wash in the shower. So when I get it thinned I can wash it easier That is why I personally get it done. I have thick natural wavy hair, curly when it’s wet
im so excited to do this to myself and ruin my hair🤩😂
😂
Lololol, I get it girly!!! I do… 😁😁😁😁
Same 😊😂
I tried this once end ended up with little to no hair

Hey there Tammy, thanks so much! Just remember you can always remove more so take your time and good luck. Thanks for the support as always.

I have absolutely thick and I mean THICK hair. I wanna thin it out I cannot stand it anymore
This is by far the best video on this topic I have seen! Thank you so much!
Great video. I liked the fact that you used all tools available.
Thank you so much Jake, great tip! I have very thick, coarse, wavy hair and I'm definitely going to try this! 💯❤️

Chubakas...I got lots of hair. Wavy & curly. Blunt & texturizer scissors. Blunt cut in 20s of lengths texts in 50s of lengths.
Such a vital video of important information right here! thank youuu!
Glad it was helpful Lisa! Thanks for watching.
Awesome & Concise! Love your teaching style. Great job sir.
Would you consider becoming a traveling stylist?? You could get one of those comfort vans (I could even be your driver!!), and then you can come to Marietta, GA to cut my hair!
❤ 😂 well, a girl can dream of getting such a professional cut!
not a fan of texturing hair across the sections ofhair it promotes frizziness but good techniques if sectioned on vertictal sections
My hair is straight/wavy and every time it’s been touched with thinning scissors it looks dreadful with different lengths and bits sticking up! ! My hair is very thick but i will never let anyone use those awful scissors

I have long thick wavy hair. How do I know my hair won’t frizz and poof if I layer or thin it?

I have too thick of hair but will look stringy when layered???

@@jakethompsonhair thank you for responding👍👍❤️❤️
@@jakethompsonhair thanks for the tips. I have the same problem.
2 seconds from just buzzing it all off 😂 i have mad sensory issues 😢
I mean...I thought everyone would die to have thick hair😳🥴
Well not everyone w/thick hair Olga. So if you have thick hair and you need to thin it out, these techniques are amazing.
Not if its just too thick.
Not when you freaking scalp hurts like hell every morning from all the weight and thickness 😞😞😞
for me it is too heavy in the summer, it keeps the heat.
@@jakethompsonhairhello I have a question I'm biracial and my hair is thick curly and wavy which is the best scissor I need to use for my hair ?😊thanks
Blunt sisccor 2:00
Strait , wavy or curly hair.
What do you use when you have all three types 😂
Nooooo!! Are you crazy?
Don't do that please!!
Terrible!!! NEVER use a razor like that!!!

You seem nice Ljubisa.
I am mystified as to why anyone would want to make their hair look thinner. I always thought that thicker hair was better looking and healthier.
My reason is I have thick hair at the middle back of my head where it honestly is hard to wash in the shower. So when I get it thinned I can wash it easier That is why I personally get it done. I have thick natural wavy hair, curly when it’s wet
Not much help for people with no experience of hair cutting
