Answer» Haircutting shears – Mainly used to cut blunt or straight lines in hair. May also be used to “slide cut, ” and for other texturizing techniques. The words shears and scissors are sometimes used interchangeablyb • Thinning shears – Mainly used to remove bulk from the hair. Sometimes referred to as texturizing shears, tapering shears, or notching shears. Many different types of thinning shears are used today, with varying amounts of teeth in the blades. A general rule of thumb is that the more teeth there are, the less hair is removed. Notching shears are usually designed to remove more, hare with larger teeth set farther apart. • Clippers – Mainly used when creating short tapers, short haircuts, fades, and flat tops. Clippers can be used without a guard to “shave” hair right to the scalp, with cutting guards at various lengths, or in the “clipper-over-comb” technique. Two types of clippers available in the market 1) manual, 2) electric. |
