What are thinning shears?

Thinning shears have one serrated blade and one smooth blade. When cutting, only part of the hair is grasped—this allows you to thin, texturize, and create natural transitions in the hair.

How many teeth should a pair of professional thinning shears have?

Fewer teeth (16–28) remove more hair and are suitable for coarse texturing. More teeth (32–42) provide a finer finish and create smoother transitions. The correct number of teeth depends on your preferred cutting technique.

What is the difference between cutting shears and thinning shears?

A pair of cutting shears has two smooth blades and is used to cleanly trim hair to the desired length. A pair of thinning shears has one or two serrated blades that only partially cut through the hair—this allows you to reduce the volume and add texture without significantly altering the length.
