Using thinning shears/scissors to thin out hair?

Question

To all the hair stylists out there (and anyone with hair experience), I have a few questions about thinning out my hair. My hair is the thick asian type of hair; it's a little poofy/frizzy. I really want to thin my own hair.

Should I use thinning shears or thinning scissors? What is the difference?

How should I thin my hair? ie. using which method?

Thanks y'all for helping me out. ;)

Answer 1

a razor blade that you shave your legs with is really good get a new one and then your hair like that go down and shave off the amount you want i did it to my hair :] http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii296... comes out good.

Answer 2

yeh you shouldnt do it yourself....and by the way dont use a razor...that splits the hair shaft and causes hair to be more frizzy than before...its best to use the shears....but not yourself...let a professional do it....or else youll look like the chick with the picture....alot of poof....and your trying to avoid that

Answer 3

your going to need alot of hair experiance to achieve that yourself.

just go to a professional and they can thin it out for you.
