How to choose pinking shears

As hairdressers, we know how important it is to have the right thinning shears to create desired hairstyles. When looking to purchase a pair, you may encounter many options, such as the number of teeth on the shears, the shape of the blades, and the amount of hair removed with each pass.

To better understand how to choose the right thinning shears, it's important to know that more teeth on a pair of thinning shears means less hair removal, while fewer teeth means more removal.

Thinning shears that promise to remove 15% to 40% of hair with each pass are best suited for creating layers and removing excessive bulk from straight and wavy hair. On the other hand, those with fewer and wider teeth are better suited for curly hair, as they can remove sections of hair without making the hair too thin or frayed.

To avoid removing too much hair and compromising the final result, it's important to use thinning shears with care and moderation.
