Thinning Shears for Hairstylists

Texturizing Hair Using Thinning Shears is a great way of completing an otherwise unfinished haircut.

Emmanuel, a Master Stylist from Atelier Emmanuel Hair Salon in San Francisco, California shows how Fixing Layers with Texturizing using thinning shears can add life to a haircut.

To achieve this look, Emmanuel recommends you texturize at different angles (flat, angled, straight into the hair) using what he calls the Piquetage Technique. Use thinning shears to blend layers and create better flow. Check out the video again to see the correct angle he recommends to prevent cutting of too much hair and to see this technique in action. Piquetage should be used at the roots to give lift to the hair. The end effect is shorter hairs supporting the longer hair.

To finish off the cut, Emmanuel demonstrates a Finger Texture technique. Laying hair can create problems, and placing your fingers correctly on the hair helps to prevent that. If a problem does arise, you can fix layer issues with texturing techniques using thinning shears, razors and/or scissors. Be sure to carefully watch everything that you are doing, as sight is just as important as technique while styling.
