17.5cm Premium Cutting and Thinning Shears - Silver

Thinning shears are scissors that have one blade with teeth and one blade without. These teeth are little grooves on the blade that will quickly take your hair out in even sections to help alleviate excess weight, soften lines, and blend between sections. While thinning out hair that's too thick and therefore unmanageable is the main reason a stylist would be using thinning shears, it's certainly not the only reason. When I'm styling someone's hair, I sometimes use thinning shears to soften the edges of the haircut, especially around the ears. Hair-cutting shears are significantly sharper than scissors, and designed specifically for cutting hair. Shears range in size from about 5 to 7 inches (13 to 18 cm) long. They commonly have an appendage, known as a finger brace or tang, attached to one of the finger rings.
