How to Thin Your Hair With Hair Thinning Shears

Posted by Brent Riggins on 22nd Aug 2019

Many people consider thick hair a blessing, but if your hair frizzes up or takes too long to dry, they may want to thinking about thinning it. Professional stylists use hair scissors to thin the hair to tame thick hair and you can try this technique at home.

Keep reading to learn how to shred your hair with hair thinning scissors.


Use the right hair shears

Thinning should not be done with any pair of hair shears. Rather, it requires special scissors for weight loss. These have a normal blade and a serrated blade, so less hairs are removed with each cut.

To start, use a comb or fingers to separate the hair into sections. A comb will provide a more defined appearance, but the fingers will be softer.

Clip

Use the clips to hold the sections in place until you are ready to work with them.

Start from the bottom

Start by cutting off the furthest sections of your crown. Save the higher layers at the end.

Begin Low

Hold a subsection firmly in your hand and prepare to cut the section halfway between the end of the hair and the scalp. At no time during the thinning process should you put the scissors to close to the scalp.

With the scissors tilted toward the ceiling, cut the hair section in half.

Snipping Down

Instead of closing the hair shears throughout the section of the fasteners you are holding, remove the scissors once you have cut approximately half of the section. Then turn the scissors so that they point toward the floor.

Scroll down the remaining half of the section. This up and down cutting technique helps make the finished product look even and natural.

Hair comb

While you work, comb your hair regularly. If the section you just cut does not look what you are looking for, repeat the process in that area before moving on to the next one.

The ends

As you complete the lower layers of hair and continue with the upper layers, move the scissors down and down along the strands. When you reach the outermost layer of hair, you should use scissors to lose weight only at the ends of the hair.

Otherwise, you run the risk of ending blockages that just want to stop.

Repeat monthly

Hair thinning should be done sporadically. For best results, use shears to lose weight only once a month. Otherwise, you run the risk of thinning the strands too much and you may end up with a hair that is not correctly.

Go to a hair stylist

Thinning your hair at home can be complicated. If you don't feel completely comfortable with how to lose your hair, it's okay to leave this job to a professional stylist.x
