What kind of scissors are used for getting hair thinned?

Question

I have extremely thick, coarse hair, and I've seen this device before.

I think it looks like a combo between a comb and scissors.

I actually want to know the name, so I can possibly purchase a pair.

Answer 1

Walmart sells these in the hair care section with all the hand mirrors and hair brushes, but it is best to watch a professional do it at least once before attempting, otherwise you might take out too much hair or do it unevenly. But good luck.

Answer 2

It looks like scissors with missing /broken teeth in between. Like you, I've v thick and coarse hair, so I bought one to thin my own hair in between seeing my hairdresser. First, watch how the hairdresser do it tho!

Answer 3

It's called thinning scissors. They have teeth, like you mentioned.

Answer 4

i'm not sure what you call it but i know what it is... just call a salon and ask them. They should tell you.
