With the abundance of choice we have in the world today it can be quite difficult to choose what are the perfect texture shears, blending shears and thinning hair scissors for you and your needs.
This is why we have broken down the key elements of each type of blending shears, including what are the differences and what you should choose based on your needs.
There are very small differences between texturizer scissors, blender shears and hair cutting thinning shears, they are barely noticeable as effectively they do the same job.
However, we are going to do our best to provide you with the answers you require for choosing the perfect ones for you.
Thinning scissors are used for the redistribution and removal of hair weight and bulk. They are traditionally used for either blending demarcation lines or muscle movement build up in shorter hair or removing weight, blending and diffusing weight in longer hair.
To cut hair with thinning scissors is the general term used for a scissor with a toothed blade that is designed to remove and leave segments of hair within a cut section and effectively ‘thin’ by reducing thickness and weight in the hair.
Thinning shears for hair are defined by having slim teeth and spaces equally distributed along the blade where the number of teeth can vary between 30 to 50 teeth. These slim and evenly spaced teeth will vary in amount depending on the length of the scissors blade, for example a 5.5 inch scissors for thinning with 30 evenly spaced teeth will perform the same thinning effect as a 7 inch scissor with 50 teeth.
The teeth of your hair scissors thinning shears are what provides you with the effects you are searching for and there are varying types depending on the effect you are wanting to achieve.
A small V shape at the tooth's tip, usually placed on thinning/blending scissors with slim teeth capturing the correct amount of hair to be cut.
A small W shaped edge at the tooth's tip. Usually placed on thinning scissors teeth with a little more width to capture the hair in an even distribution across the tooth for cutting.
This type of tooth edge is on specialist thinning scissors usually with a curved radial shape to the teeth. The teeth are slim and designed for producing a soft and subtle cut effect. The tooth's cutting edge is convexed for ultimate sharpness to enable precision cutting and placement in the desired area.
The shaping of you hair shears thinning scissors teeth provides slightly differing effects to the finished cut area.
Remove weight from the hair with a traditional straight cut edge.
The curvature of the tooth provides a softer and more subtle cut edge as it cuts the hair at a slight angle.
Barbering thinning scissors are a specialist and time saving tool that accomplish bespoke cutting effects that are often not achievable with salon scissors. They can speedily blend demarcation lines and diffuse muscle movement in scissor over comb areas or provide blended weight in disconnected cuts.
There are many time saving and bespoke cutting techniques to use with haircut thinning shears that are often un-achievable with the use of hair cutting scissors alone, from blending graduation, encouraging curl formation in curly hair or introducing invisible layers by point cutting in long layered hair to alleviate weight and increase freedom of movement.
The difference between hairdressing and barbering scissors are the cutting techniques they are predominantly used for.
It can be beneficial for hairdressing techniques for the toothed blade to be in front of the solid blade, as this allows for a more visual tooth placement.
The preference for barbers is often a thinning scissor with the solid blade in front of the tooth blade as this allows for a fractionally closer cut when used on very short hair to remove demarcation lines and diffuse muscle movement.
There is no difference in the thinning scissors for either hairdressing or barbering, but down to personal choice of the techniques you are going to be using them with.
Blending scissors hair scissors have slightly wider teeth and spaces with an even tooth to space ratio, meaning they remove slightly more hair with a single cut but they also leave more hair with the wider spaces between teeth leaving an equally distributed cut section to perform a blending effect.
By virtue of them having wider teeth, they remove slightly larger amounts of hair with each cut and can speed up the process of weight removal which is particularly beneficial for use on thick or coarse hair types or for adding a subtle amount of texture to finer hair.
A blending scissor is defined by having an equal distribution of teeth and spaces along the blade. The number of teeth can vary between 21 to 28 teeth and depending on the amount of teeth in the blade these can be used to add a moderate amount of texture whilst retaining a blended finish.
The teeth type of your blending shears are the most important part as the cutting edge of the teeth and the teeth shape create different effects and will remove more or less hair.
There are three different types of teeth edges and 2 different types of teeth shape.
A small V shape at the tooth's tip, usually placed on blending shears with slim teeth capturing the correct amount of hair to be cut.
A small W shaped edge at the tooth's tip. Usually placed on blending scissors teeth with a little more width to capture the hair with an even distribution across the tooth for cutting.
This type of tooth edge is on specialist blending scissors usually with a curved radial shape to the teeth. The teeth are designed to produce a soft cut effect with a barely visible cut line. The tooth's cutting edge is convexed for ultimate sharpness to enable precision cutting and placement in the desired area.
The shaping of the teeth provides slightly differing effects to the finished cut area.
Remove weight from the hair with a traditional straight cut edge.
The curvature of the tooth provides a softer and more subtle cut edge as it cuts the hair at a slight angle.
There are many hairdressing and barbering techniques to use with blending scissors that achieve bespoke results quickly and easily.
Create invisible layers by deep point cutting into long layered hair to blend weight build up and release freedom of hair movement.
Blending shears are ideal for use on thick or coarse hair to reduce bulk quickly without creating a ‘fluffy’ finish that can be the case with the use of a traditional thinning scissor.
Texturising scissors are defined by having fewer and wider teeth with either a large or small width space in between, they remove more hair in one cut to create consistent and seamless separation and texture to hair cuts in less time.
Depending on the tooth width and space width distribution they can be used to introduce a weave cut effect or create a shattered and textured effect.
Texturizing shears are characterised by having wider and fewer teeth which can vary between 5 and 16 teeth with an equal space or smaller space ratio between them to create visual effect or pronounced texture and separation with each cut.
The teeth are especially designed to enable hair capture along the larger tooth area to provide the desired textured effect.
The cutting edges can have varying tooth shapes and cutting edges designed to achieve perfect hair capture for their specialist use.
Tapered ‘W’ tooth has a tapered stepped edge on the tooth's cutting edge and is placed on texturising scissors with a wide tooth to provide an even distribution of hair capture along the width of the tooth to enable a larger amount of hair to be cut.
This type of tooth edge is on specialist wide tooth texturising scissor and is designed to produce a shattered cut effect with a pronounced and visible texture.
The shaping of the teeth provides slightly differing effects to the finished cut area.
Remove weight from the hair with a traditional straight cut edge.
The curvature of the tooth provides a softer and more subtle cut edge as it cuts the hair at a slight angle.
Texturizing scissors are an ideal time saving tool for quickly and evenly added texture to shorter hair and fit perfectly with barbering cutting techniques. Texture blend longer hair in to shorter cropped areas.
Texturizing scissors create bespoke cut effects that are not possible with regular scissors and fit perfectly for use with hairdressing cutting techniques in both long and short hair, Quickly produce texture in short crops or point cut into long layers to break up bulky weight lines and free up movement.
Now that we've covered the key elements of both texture shears and thinner scissors it's now time we explain the benefits of each one with a view to helping you make the right decision for you.
Texturising shears enable us to achieve a variety of bespoke cutting effects to enhance our work in the most time efficient way.

By using the specialist thinner for the job at hand we benefit by alleviating strain from over working the hand and also saving our regular cutting scissors from unnecessary wear and tear and saving on sharpening and servicing costs.
Thinning scissors haircut shears and blending scissors by nature of having an equal tooth to space ratio are beneficial in aspects of hair cutting for invisibly diffusing and redistributing weight within a haircut. The cutting effects they produce are bespoke and are often not achievable with a regular cutting scissor.
