If you have long hair, you may find that it becomes heavy and difficult to manage. Thinning your hair can make it easier to style and give it a more natural look. Thinning shears are a great tool for achieving this. In this blog post, we will show you how to thin long hair with thinning shears.
Description
Thinning shears are scissors with teeth on one or both blades. These teeth create gaps in the hair when the scissors are closed, removing some of the bulk. Thinning shears can be used on all hair types, but they are particularly useful for thick, heavy hair.
How to Thinning Long Hair with Thinning Shears
Step 1: Wash and Dry Your Hair
Start by washing and drying your hair. This will make it easier to see where the bulk is and where you need to thin it out.
Step 2: Divide Your Hair
Divide your hair into sections using hair clips. This will make it easier to work with and ensure that you don't miss any areas.
Step 3: Use the Thinning Shears
Take one of the sections of hair and hold it straight up. Using the thinning shears, cut into the hair, starting at the roots and working your way down.
Make sure that you only cut a small amount of hair with each snip. You can always go back and thin more if you need to.
Step 4: Repeat on all Sections
Repeat this process on all sections of your hair until you have thinned it to your liking.
Tips
- Start with a small amount of hair and work your way up, so you don't thin too much at once.
- Use the thinning shears on the underneath layers of your hair, so the top layer still looks full.
- For a more natural look, thin out the ends of your hair, rather than the roots.
