How to Use Hair Thinning Shears
- 1). Wash, rinse and thoroughly dry hair before beginning. This will make it more manageable and easier for you to work with.
- 2). Separate hair into small sections. Pull the first section away from the head, and place the shears almost halfway between the scalp and the end of the hair. Make one snip, then remove the shears. Repeat with all sections.
- 3). Comb through the thinned hair to remove the cut strands. If you wish, go through the sections a second time, making the snips 1/3 of the way from the ends of the hair.
- 4). Always make the same number of cuts in each section. Not doing so can affect the fullness of your hair, and it will become obvious where you cut too much or not enough.
