Don't do it yourself! I accidently cut chunks off my hair and the base of my head was waaaay thicker than the ends. It's been years and my pony tail is still extremely small but the top part of my hair is thick. Before long, you wont even have any ends. Please only do it professionally.<br><b>References : </b><br>MY EXPERIENCE I used to be obsessed with thinning my hair, and i REGRET it. Don’t do it yourself!

I bought thinning shears and got a chunk/ thick strand of hair and at the ends swept the shears diagonally through. This thinned out the ends. i did this for the ends of my whole head and the ends were thinner so i worked my way up into the middle so i had a thick top but thin bottem, it looked very scene and i strongly disliked it so i cried lol. But if you are willing to take the risk, go for it :)<br><b>References : </b><br> I have done this before and i dont recommend doing it but this is what i did.

]]> Comment on Practice suturing questions? by GattacaAmbition http://www.thinning-shears.com/8522/practice-suturing-questions/comment-page-1/#comment-3098 GattacaAmbition Fri, 09 Dec 2011 11:46:59 +0000 http://www.thinning-shears.com/8522/practice-suturing-questions/#comment-3098 I think it's cool you're willing to work on your suturing before you start. Most of my classmates were completely clueless when it came to suturing when we had to learn. My only caution is to make sure you learn the right technique as you will get yelled at by your preceptors if you do things in a weird way (e.g. never touch the suture with your hands; maintain your bite width and depth ratio). I put a link to a good NEJM suture video below and it shows the "textbook" way of doing a simple interrupted suture, the most common type and the only one you are really expected to know in med school. 1) Not sure what you mean by a v notch on the foceps (if you can comment with more i can try and answer). Do your supplies look like these (top three): http://www.medical-tools.com/shop/images/D/suture-kit.jpg . A set of Adson forceps is fairly sharp though; this helps you dig around a bit, as sometimes the tip of the suture can "get lost" coming out the other side so it can help. Also, since you need precise control of the suture at all times this shape helps. 2) I have heard a banana peel is pretty good to practice on (orange peel seems it would be too hard), but best thing to do would be to get a suture pad (unless you happen to have a spare cadaver or some pig skin to practice on). It's what we use in med school to learn on and plus they aren't too expensive. I put a link to a $25 one below. 3) I hadn't really thought about using a curved sewing needle before (not much of a sewing buff), but the one I looked at on amazon, it does look virtually exactly like a suture needle. However, I'm not sure how big in diameter the metal is or how tough it is. Real suture needle are pretty sturdy and I'm not sure how much punishment a sewing needle can take. You can readily get practice suturing needles (aka non-sterile) pretty cheap though; put a link to one below ($1.85). I would use a silk thread as this is most commonly what real non-absorbable sutures are made from..<br><b>References : </b><br>I am currently attending medical school My favorite suture video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFfhrW5kdjk&feature=related Typical suture tools (just the top three)- http://www.medical-tools.com/shop/images/D/suture-kit.jpg Suture Pad - http://www.simulab.com/product/surgery/suturing/tissue-suture-pad Practice Suture Needle - http://www.midwifesupplies.com/1AB-MIL0131-p-NeedleHolders.html I think it’s cool you’re willing to work on your suturing before you start.
