When thinning hair with hairdressers thinning scissors, is the best place to thin - close to roots or ends?

Answer 1

NEVER EVER EVER thin the roots.
Anyone thinning hair or texturizing hair should know to never go in more than half-way down the hairshaft, otherwize you'll look like you've got sprouts popping out of your head....

Hope that helps

Answer 2

I choose to thin hair about 3 inches away from scalp if hair is long . I never would thin hair close to the scalp because it would stick up . You need some weight from the existing hair to hold the thinned pieces down .

Answer 3

I believe they say close to the end, but to be honest with you, I think thinning scissors cause your hair to be frizzy and brittle. My hair dresser will not use them or razors. Also w/ thinning scissors, when the hair grows back, it sticks out.

Answer 4

The ends.

Answer 5

the ends

Answer 6

depends on the thickness of hair and style that it will be worn in usually; and how curly/wavy it is when the weight is taken out.
never the outside layers - only on the inside.
and never too close to the scalp.

Answer 7

at the ends not the root x

Answer 8

if you cut to near the root you will get tufts of hair spiking up. cut at the mid-lengths and ends.

Answer 9

definately the ends

Answer 10

definitely from the ends you think if you do it from the roots and the regrowth comes back it will just spike up please be careful
