Texturizing Hair Using Thinning Shears at Atelier Emmanuel Hair Salon

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.

Hair That’s Never Touched Scissors

Some people get cars for their graduation, or computers, maybe money. One teen in Canada decided to cut her hair – for the first time ever, and we’re betting her hairstylist had to use some crazy thinning shears on her mane! With hair that long and thick, there’s no way regular shears would’ve done the job!

The graduate, Jennifer Greenland, thought it would be a good thing to do to mark the occasion and when Joanne Tetlichi, a custodian at the school heard of Jennifer’s plan, she decided she would cut her long hair as well. Add to that list, Kyla Ross – a worker at the school – who made the decision to cut her hair as well.

The women did some searching and decided they would donate their hair to a group in Alberta that makes wigs for cancer patients.

The wig makers require at least 10 inches of hair to make a wig. The three women each donated between one and two feet of hair.

The group even got to have their hair cut on the stage after the graduation ceremony – here’s where those thinning shears came in handy! – and several people walked around the room with buckets asking for donations towards cancer research.

You can read more about this somewhat unusual donation here

if i thin my hair with thinning shears will it become poofey?

admin — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 07:06:12 +0000

i have medium length hair and its relly thick, and i just want it thin enough so that its not crazy thick haha idk

Yes, it will make it poofy especially if you thin it close to the scalp, which you should never do. If you just thin it very little in certain areas around the head you should be fine. I know what you mean, I have the same problem. I thinned my hair close to my head one time so bad that I ended up having to have it cut really, really short to repair it. You can go to a good hairdresser and the can "chip it in" to thin it this is a better method for my hair. Good luck.
