The good, the bad and the ugly of thinning hair scissors
For people with thick and unmanageable hair, thinning hair scissors can be the single most important part of their hair cut experience. This style of hair shears is a great way for people to eliminate some of the thickness and poofiness from their otherwise beautiful tresses.
Thinning hair scissors, also known as thinning shears, come in a variety of styles. Overall, they're quite like usual hair scissors, but one blade features teeth that give it a comb like appearance. How large and how much space between the teeth decides how much (or little) hair is thinned and removed.
Wider teeth will remove less hair while narrow spaces will remove a lot of hair. Thinning shears work by removing bulk through cutting only some of the hair. As your hair falls between the teeth, it is safe from the cut. The rest of the hair receives that thinning chop that will turn your hair into a more manageable thickness.
This is a lot of back and forth in the professional hair world as to whether this style of hair scissors does more harm than good. The opponents to this process are primarily made of up people who have had a traumatic hair experience involved a snip happy stylist.
They say that thinning hair scissors remove too much hair and leave your locks looking stringy and can even cause a balding look in extreme cases. It's true, if a stylist is too eager to remove thickness, he or she can end up cutting so much that your hair will suffer for months to come as it grows out properly.
Supporters, however, say that you just need to find an experienced hair stylist because thinning hair scissors can save you precious hours in hair styling time and precious dollars in hair styling products. Those people are big fans of this intriguing method and will share its success with any fellow poofy hair sufferer.
Regardless of whether you choose to take a strong stand, keep in mind that this is a cutting process and if not done well, you could suffer from split ends and other adverse effects. Under no circumstances should you request this thinning process more than every four months. That's a good balance that will allow you to reduce thickness without looking stringy.

Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock Babydoll $19.99 We'll be honest here. We hadn't heard of Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock until that episode of The Big Bang Theory. You could say that prior to that day we were traditional roshamboists. When we heard Sheldon explain how it works and why it's superior to your standard-grade RPS, we immediately paused the TV and went over to teh Intarwebs to do research. And indeed, we found the page by Sam Kass, the genius behind this version. His phenomenon must now be part of our life. However, none of us knew anything about this version of the game. So we ended up playing Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock to figure out who had to write the copy for this shirt. It went a little something like this: Fearless Leader: "One, two, three, SHOOT!" Rules Lawyer: "What's that?" Free Thinker: "It's a zombie." Rules Lawyer: "There is no Zombie in Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock." Free Thinker: "Braaaaaainsssss." Rules Lawyer: "There are no Brains in Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock." Merchant Monkey: "Lizard and Spock have Brainnnnnnnsssss." Second Merchant: "Right. And Rock bludgeons Zombie into a small pile of blood, teeth, and hair." Free Thinker: "Awwww." Fearless Leader: "Are you two done? Okay. Again. One, two, three, SHOOT!" Rules Lawyer: *raised eyebrow* Free Thinker: "It's the Large Hadron Collider." The symbols for Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock in a circle (with arrows for reference on what beats what) on a cotton, royal blue babydoll (fitted) t-shirt. Also available in a women's classic cut if you'd prefer more generous proportions. |
