This helped so much. I taught myself to cut my hair. I have very thick hair and need to thin it to get volume in some places and look "piecey" in others. Thank you!
Thanks, I've been cutting hair for over 3 years now, I bought some of "texture" shears today to replace my "thinning" shears today. Never knew the difference. Today I watched your video, and used them and instantly noticed the upgrade! Fine purchase and thanks for the insight!
I know this is an older video, but I just now found chunking shears exist when I was looking into... dog grooming tools for my maltese. I did a search and decided to click your video and although it's about people hair, it's helped explain perfectly what the shears are and what they do/ are used for. Thank you so very much for making this tutorial in a way even the most inexperienced folks can easily understand. ❤
@@sklptdhair Why? I see many of them on Amazon and they look like good quality professional texturizing shears. Some very expensive and others not so much but still good quality steel and sharpness.
I realized my asian hair doesn't suit with thinning shears. Since my hair is thick, I believe my barber (back in my country) used texturizing shears to remove weight. Go for the texturizing shears who wants to have a wide textured look and thinning shears are good for shaping a grown out buzzcut or for blending.
This is a great video I was trying to find something like this while I was in the sharpening store trying to find a decently priced thinning shear to get me by. They had a 26 tooth curved ($150) and a 40 straight ($85). I got the basic 40 tooth but will probably get the 26 when I go back. One shear that you can make a video about is the square tooth chunkers. Idk what those are. Do they give that super far apart textured look that instagram barbers advertise when they take a wide tooth comb and brush the hair to the side? And it’s very very defined texture. About 1/2 cm sections.
Do less teeth on thinning or texturizing shears remove more or less hair? I know sounds like a dumb question but a question on Amazon for texturizing shears asked how much hair that particular texturizing shear takes out and they answered about 20% to 25% so they told them to get shears with more teeth in order to take out only the 10% to 15% that they wanted to remove. That sounded backwards but I really don't know since I have no experience using thinning or texturizing shears. I didn't even know there was a difference. I just thought that different people and/or different companies that made shears just interchanged both those names ("texturizing" and "thinning") for all thinning shears.
That’s a great question because my semi dyslexic brain can’t grasp it either. In the video I do a test. The more teeth the more hair it takes out. That’s why I like mine. They take out less hair and it’s very soft. They are expensive though.
@@sklptdhair That's exactly what I thought would happen... the more teeth, the more hair is cut. And the less teeth, the less hair is cut. So I don't know why some people were saying if you want to cut off less hair to get shears with more teeth. So that didn't make sense to me. But since I wasn't sure and have no experience, I thought I would ask a professional.
I just watched a video that said the opposite; that the fewer the teeth, the more hair taken out. Totally confused, but I think your demonstration answered the confusion. Unfortunately, I just bought a pair based on THAT video instead of yours.
Just like the tooth spacing question - various responses and opinions given. 😶 My question is- Is the toothed blade held on the bottom or the top?? Have heard “on top” it’s gentler- and then the on the bottom!! Cutting better disguised.😳😀?? Most of the time stylist does not say. I think 🙂 the proper hold needs to be shown by the stylist every time -- “Hold them with the teeth at the--! Just Like This!!! It does make difference - maybe more with cheaper shears???
I take the teeth up, so the hair rolls inwards. With the teeth under the hair... it comes out to 'curl' outwards... but give it a try please. It's my experian only...
I got my hair thinned last year. My hair has shed so much after the thinning and now I’m nearly bald from having a full head of hair. I wonder whether thinning hair kills the hair follicles. My hair is very thin. I had great thick hair last year and it’s not growing back. Thin cannot be pattern baldness as after thinning I suffered from weak brittle hair. Should I go bald to try get rid of damaged hair? What’s ur opinion? Thanks.
TexturiIng or thinning will not ever affect the follicle. If your hair is falling out there is an internal issue and you would need to have a lab work-up by your doctor. Thyroid and diabetes are the usual suspects, if you have had and major surgeries or if you are just older and genetics ate just taking over.
If it's in the exact same spot, it won't matter how many times you use them because nothing new will be removed. But if you move the shears slightly to the left or to the right of where you cut the first time, it will remove more hair. I would imagine that's what it would be. It just makes sense.
Hi I'm a barber and I get a lot of clients asking for texture nowadays.. I usually do point cut or slicing but was wondering if the less teeth shears would do the same and save me time
100% these texture shears are magical. They’ll save you time and make your haircuts look amazing. I get mine from migoto shears on IG, shoot him a dm and mention my name
With the scissors, I got a question about the adjuster screw at the pivot. what’s the difference between … the ones with a knob vs the ones with a flat blade screw driver adjustment.. cons and pros?
Real texturizing shears have teeth on both blades. You have only thinning shears, which have only teeth on one side. Your mentor knows nothing. This is the 4th false video I have come across in a row on UA-cam from different people. I keep searching for someone who knows what they are talking about. I went to a very good school back in 2005. Wish me luck! ...Thks!! Note: You're not texturizing with thinning shears, you are only thinning out.

You're welcome. They're a game changer
Can you link the ones you bought?

Excellent comparison. First video that explains the difference thoroughly and the demonstration was on point! Thank you!
You're welcome!!
Apart from tutorial, you're gorgeous🥰
Very helpful. I'll get one of those texturizing shears to use at home. Thanks for the video.
You have to get them from a professional :)

You can never have too many texture shears, keep them for specific uses.
Can thinning shears cause hair demage???
Yes, especially to curly hair
@@deefhead8440 wait what happens when its damaged and like how does it look like
Only if they're not sharpened or oiled properly. They won't cause split ends but can make some hair types very frizzy, so proceed with caution.
thanks

Same i hv the same problm

@@kdclark23 thank u , u have common sense
Sorry you're going through this. If your hair is not growing it's internal, not external.
@@kdclark23 Thanks Kassie!!
Useful tutorial, thank you. How many times can you go over the same spot with either tool?
As many as you want!
If it's in the exact same spot, it won't matter how many times you use them because nothing new will be removed. But if you move the shears slightly to the left or to the right of where you cut the first time, it will remove more hair. I would imagine that's what it would be. It just makes sense.
thank you! very informative video! What Texturizer scissors are you using?
I actually don't know the brand but they are Japanese. I think @samvilla and @kasho has them.
What brand of texturizing shears are those???
I don't know the brand but they are Japanese. Check Kasho, Mizutani and Sam Villa :)

Do you have a link to the texturizing shears?
You can contact this IG profile: instagram.com/migotoshears?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
Google says more teeth less hair cut, less teeth more hair cut. I’m confused cause you’re saying the chunky less toothed shear takes out less hair 😮
what if you intend to use thinning /texturizer scissor but ended up using regular scissor by mistake?
Well then you have a REALLY big problem on your hands
Where do u buy these
Your eyes are very beautiful 💋

So make your own video and teach us what you know
I know what is meant to be, but I think the duble side theeth are cutting out more hair... but may be I'm wrong, have you an answer for me please...
Lol. No need to make a video, since I just explained it =)P @@sklptdhair
