I have long curly hair that can be a pain to deal with every morning. I try to get it thinned out enough so it’s more manageable but that hasn’t always worked. Now I have a better idea why past stylists have messed up: they don’t know how to use thinning scissors. This blog helped me understand the pros and cons of thinning scissors and it’s clear why past stylists have failed and my current one hasn’t.

Wow, I had no idea you could actually damage hair using these types of scissors to the point where it can cause issues with growth! I always go to the same stylist but she has since moved. I have been going to her for over 7 years now. I had to make an appointment with someone new and I noticed that he tends to use these types of scissors. I am a bit worried now. Would it be rude to request of him to not use them? I don’t want to have issues with growing out my hair!
