Thinning scissors is a professional tool for giving your hair completeness, lightness and grooming. Such scissors can be purchased not only by a hairdresser, but by any girl. Accessory is quite suitable for personal use. A professional hairdresser will also not be able to do without thinning shears, as they are an integral part of creating a gorgeous haircut.
Filing methods
All thinning shears have the same purpose - thinning or thinning hair. Despite the fact that they have one task, there is a wide variety of models for hair filing.
There are several types of hair filing:
- treatment of the ends of the hair;
- root treatment;
- hair treatment over the entire length.
Each type may differ in the technique of cutting.
Thick hair requires the use of radical processing. It is necessary for visually reducing the volume of hair. Often we are tired of the shoals of hair, and basal treatment will simplify life with heavy hair. For thin and straight hair, this method will not work. Radical processing is used to highlight individual curls. The hairs are trimmed with diagonal stripes right under the root, and the distance between the first and second strip should be left at least one centimeter.
The tips of the hairs are milled in order to soften the borders of the edging. With such a layering there is where to “roam”. These are both straight cuts and obliques.
Filirovka along the entire length gives hair elasticity. With the proper execution of such a haircut, the hair becomes obedient. This method not only simplifies hair care, but can also adjust the shape of the face.
There are several methods for performing hair filing:
- "Slip";
- gear cut;
- point cut;
- "an injection";
- pull out;
- on twisted strand;
- tupirovka.
Each method has its own sequence of execution. Some of them can be performed even at home.
- Sliding is a method in which the scissors should be held parallel to the hair. Important execution conditions are accuracy and the slow processing rate of each strand.
- There are also methods of filing, which are performed even with ordinary scissors. For example, a gear cut. Depart from the tips of 1.5 cm and cut the selected length under the slope. Then comb the hair.
- The point slice has another name - “poiting”. “Poiting” is a haircut on the fingers, which allows you to make the thinning of the thinnest strands of 1-2 mm.
- "Prick" is performed with scissors at different levels. This method achieves the effect of "undercoat".
The remaining types of filing are best done in the conditions of the salon, since filing is performed not only with scissors, but also with a razor. With this haircut, the methods are completely different.
How to choose?
Before buying professional scissors, you need to understand the differences between ordinary scissors and thinning scissors. If you opt for the latter, then decide whether to choose one-sided or two-sided.
Simple shears for haircuts are one piece, straight line. Scissors for filing is a canvas on which there are many small teeth. Simple scissors cut the entire strand, and thinning - only a portion of the hair.
The only difference with scissors is the arrangement of teeth. They can be either on one side or on two.
Also, scissors differ and teeth: their number, location, frequency, shape, method of sharpening.
Bilateral thinning shears are recommended for beginner hairdressers. With such a model is less likely to spoil the hair and hair in general, as they thin the hair to a lesser extent.
When choosing scissors for filing, pay attention to the convenience of pens. They must be equipped with a removable stop on the finger and have a shock absorber on the ring.
If you work with two scissors at the same time, in order not to constantly change hands, many brands offer sets "Direct + thinning".
When buying a tool, pay attention to the frequency of teeth. The more often the teeth, the more evenly the hair is cut into strands.
The rules for selecting home scissors are fairly simple. The tool should be convenient and practical, but at an affordable price, as they are bought for long-term operation. The basic rules for selecting thinning scissors are similar for a novice hairdresser and for a mother who wants to cut her children by herself, rather than donate money to a hairdresser. Choose a model that will fit comfortably in your hand. Pay attention to the shape and material of the rings.
