I love the concept you shared about curly hair-- that "ends need friends", and that the weight is necesssary at the ends to form a curl...but what about a blending shear on curly hair that is relaxed or otherwise chemical straightened?
I think if you cut it while relaxed it would look weird when it isn't relaxed anymore. It would mess with the natural flows in the hair that you wouldn't be able to tell since it would be relaxed. Sorry if I made this sound confusing.
Man you guys are awesome. So much info on so much technique. I’m not a stylist, I just wondered if the shears used for blending are the same as the shears for removing bulk. Now I see they are. As I person with thin, fine hair, I should probably stop asking them to blend. 😅
I'm intrigued by the method you showed using the texture shear to add steep layers in long hair. I would like to see more of this technique and a full hair cut finished and styled.
This is the best video I have seen regarding WHAT these scissors do AND why NOT to cut curly long hair with these. SO, what do you suggest I tell the hairdresser regarding my daughters long FULL curly hair? She has a lot of hair and she has a hard time doing her hair. I think maybe a lot of layers all around? Or are long layers better all around?? What would be easier do you think?? THX! :)
I have naturally curly hair but I have short hair and I feel like I carry a lot of bulk at the bottom. I want alot of lift and volume. What would you recommend. I have some layers but it still is weighed down looking. Thank you. I love watching and learning with you and your whole team.
I have naturally curly hair and have started doing the ponytail cut at home after getting some bad cuts from stylists. I'm having problems achieving a face framing shape starting from my fringe and adding wispy bits down the sides. Will thinning shears do this? I can't achieve it with normal hairdressing scissors.
Can you please do a full hair cut with those shears? I'm in hair school and I'm having a really hard time. We do each cut only once! I'm really struggling! !!
Thanks for doing this video. It is really helpful. I am new to hair dressing a complete beginner and in the future would like to do a hair dressing course. However at the moment I am teaching myself through TH-cam videos. I would like to see a full video of hair being thinned with long hair and men's hair if possible please. I have also now subscribed to your channel.
Always looking for new ways to use my blending shears, great tips! Would love to see your "buzz cut" with the blending shears and a full haircut for mens/women's hair as well!
Hi Sam! Love your videos! I was wondering about your weaving technique. When you cut with the shearing scissors, do you keep the same angle of the scissors as you cut downwards or do you decreases the angle of the scissors to cut thinner?
If this tool should not be used for naturally wavy/curly hair, what should I use? Someone with long naturally wavy hair with the typical triangle, bottom heavy, flat top shape. Need to lose the bulk in the middle to help lift the top up and help make it more manageable. Thanks so much for the videos, extremely informative! ❤️
I have naturally wavy hair and use the thinning shears on my hair, only two or three cuts per section and it takes off just enough and it doesn’t frizz either.
You already have thousands of shorter hairs in between the longer ones because of the natural shedding and regrowing process... the trick is not to get a concentration of short hairs in clumps so that they show up in chunks. Hope that makes sense :-)
it’s kind of hard to say because each company measures the percentage of removal a little differently. Commonly somewhere in the 12-20% range is good for an every day blending shear
What type of shears for military or faded type of haircuts? I've noticed some stylists use what I would guess is blend shears to blend in the longer top to the fade after buzzing to the skin on the sides and around 3/4" on the top. I've been buzzing my hair to 3/4" and then using a mirror to shave the sides and fade it in myself. Double mirrors to get the back or ask the wife cuz I struggle with the back. Anyways the fade tends to have some longer hairs (3/4") that can fall over the fade afterwards. Need a proper solution and thought maybe this blend shear is it??? Thanks
Hey Peter, It's always a challenge to get professional results on yourself. Blending shears can be a good solution when blending two detached lengths together.
I agree,it's good for taking weight. prefect for dense hair girls who want to have more bouncy, light and textured hair. I have fine hair and after several years I realized this is not for me. My hair lays better with simple cut.:)
Anastasiia S Agreed. I have fine hair, but lots of it !! My hair does not respond well to thinning shears at all. Just a simple blunt cut with scissors :)
myhusbandsrib Hi there! We get this type of question quite often. Even “just trimming the ends” is a technical process if you want it to go well! As a professional hairdresser, we have repaired the damage done by our salon guests trying to do home maintenance very often and it usually means removing more hair to regain balance in the haircut. Our best recommendation is to trust a pro :-) The same money you will spend on professional shears (starting at about $250 for the very basic level) is better spent treating yourself to an hours of pampering at your local salon.
Interesting on the long curly philosophy... I have had great success with thinning long curly hair. I didn't know this was considered taboo,... oh well different strokes for different folks. Love the videos though. Always something new to learn after 20+ years in the biz.
Glad you are having success with removing weight in curly hair. You have probably found the balance of what is enough and what is too much with all of your experience!
I love your videos, BUT the two shears you offer are quite expensive. Can you recommend a reasonably-priced essential and reversible shear that someone who is not a professional can afford?
That's why I wonder 🤔 everytime I have haircut why does my hair look so thin and I think am I losing my hair. But after few days I get good volume to my hair .
The reason it gets bushy and poofy is because of the thinning once the hair grows out the short hairs for the thinning shears push the longer pieces of hair thus causing it to stick out more..
Scissors are meant to be used on a daily basis without the proper maintenance…. Just remember that the best barber scissors are going to cost a little bit more and that is why you need to be prepared to pay a little extra for something of quality. To get some high quality professional scissors I’ll recommend you this website www.amazon.co.uk/shops/A2OQZFLZMS572V... Thanks!!!
Hey Sam.. I want to change my career and I've always wanted to become a barber. I have been cutting my own hair for years and I know. That makes me sound like a. Cheapskate but I'm not. I have Control issues when it comes to my hair. I would love to become a barber for real and was thinking of applying to the Irish school of barbering for a beginners course. I have bought some of the tools I need but some advice would be gratefully received mate
Hey there! It sounds like you found a new calling. As far as advice on tools, there are a few things we feel are really important for barbers. 1. A good heavy shear with a longer blade... this is great for shear over comb and dealing with large sections of heavy hair. Something like this... www.samvilla.com/pro/products/shears/signature-series-shears/7-dry-cutting-shear 2. A great blending shear... we usually recommend the Signature Series Reversible Blender for barbers. It takes a little more hair out with each cut (enough that you can do shear over comb with it). www.samvilla.com/pro/products/shears/blending-thinning-shears/reversible-blending-shear You can see this being done in this video... th-cam.com/video/-ZLWuO0XxAE/w-d-xo.html 3. A great adjustable clipper and trimmer (of course) 4. Handle and detailing combs... www.samvilla.com/pro/products/combs/artist-series-combs/sam-villa-artist-series-comb-set Going through school can be a trial but be patient and have fun... school is whatever you make of it. If you go there expecting to be board everyday, that's exactly what you will get. But if you go in ready to learn and make the most of our time there, you will have a great time and walk away a much stronger barber. Good luck and keep us posted!
You can definitely remove weight, it just has to be done in a different way. The texture shears cut very small pieces into the hair which can cause frizz on curl. With curly hair, the pieces being removed need to be more deliberate and larger.
Okay, so this video is so much older and my comment is probably ignorant but what if you have curly hair, but it's thick and heavy? My hair isn't super long in general but it's thick and naturally curly(kinda)
Wait, don't you have to wet the hair first? I want to make sure because I'm attempting to fix my daughter's hair since my husband just put in a ponytail and cut it straight across shoulder length (her hair was waist long), so now it looks uneven from the back and just unmanageable, she initially wanted her hair short and decided that letting him cut her hair off like that was a great idea for some reason. Her hair is some where in between wavy and straight (Hispanic hair, you can see it alittle on my profile pic where shes hugging her baby bro), I've never cut hair in my life and the other day when I tried practicing on myself I cut my finger pretty bad, so yeah.... WHERE do I start?
Hi Amanda. This is kind of a big question and we don't really recommend doing these techniques on your own hair... this is something we'd highly recommend a professional hairdresser to help with.
My thinner had thinner teeth, it only removed 15-20% of the weight, compared to I believe it's 40% in most others, I'd rather it take out less and make more cuts than have my scissors take out more than expected in one go
HELP! how do I find a knowledgeable hairdresser in my small town or nearby? I feel like all everybody knows how to do around here is a straight blunt cut. ugh
I know same here, but I've realised if you go places like Tony & guy hairdressers they offer different levels of hairdressing. starting from a stylist, to style directer and even more advanced they call the directors cut. Never opt for the standard stylist hairdresser. You would assume any hairdresser would be able to give you what you want but they don't. It will cost more but go for directors cut. These hairdressers have had more advanced training, they really know how to put the wow factor into your haircut. You don't even have to ask them to use any texturing, they just do it if it needs it. Most hairdressers offer different levels of hairdressing these days . Look at what different salons have to offer in terms of different levels of expertise before you book a haircut.
Is your hair straight, wavy or curly.. if you have straight hair and get a one length hair it ask for them to texture just the ends a little with a razor it will soften the ends so it's not a blunt line
My shears stopped cutting....I know it sounds stupid....but it's true. It's like the blades aren't matching up or something. No point cutting, no traditional cutting. What do I do? Is this something that the shear sharpener can adjust? Help please. I was so excited to use your shears.....and now they're just sitting there! 🙃😔
My barber used a Razor shears and he went so aggressive with that scissor and that was the first time I’ve seen it and when he was done with my hair and when I was showering I lost A LOT of hair and Now I’m worried that my barber hasn’t like damaged my hair.
Hi Asir, Don't worry. The hair that came out in the shower was probably the hair that was still stuck in between from the texturizing process. After your hair grows in more, it will be the same that it was before the haircut :-) Sorry to hear you had a bad experience!
We feel that these tools can be used on damp or dry... on damp hair, they will remove much more hair but other than that, the principles are the same. Hope that helps.
Help!!!! I have natural curly hair! I just got all my hair to one length past my lower bra, so all my tight ringlets lay flat w/the correct hair products & I let air dry. Well, I went to to get my color highlight/lowlights done & @ the end the stylist took out those “texture scissors” telling me this will help tremendously w/the weight & thickness of yr natural curly hair of looking like a lioness!” I said, “that’s ok I love that look about my natural curly hair hair, one long layer after the next!” Next thing I knew “he was using them ON MY HEAD!!! WTH! So I saw yr video!!! I was legit crying in the chair!!! I knew once he started there was nothing I could do!!! Can u please tell me what the heck is going to happen now? Yes now my length is gone! My thickness! But, he blew it out straight! Nut I know my hair! I can feel how thinner it is! It’s horrible! I’m freaking out & crying! I know that if it is this short & thin & frizzy straight it is really going to look a mess curly! It took me over 5 years to get my natural curly “all one length & healthy again, ONLY TO HAVE THIS JERK RUIN IT! HE DID WHAT HE WANTED NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR! HOW DO THESE STYLIST EVEN GET THEIR LICENSES?!?!?! He absolutely should not be working on women’s hair! He didn’t know what u said, “right off bat,” about “NEVER USE THISE THINNING SCISSORS ON NATURAL CURLY NOW MY NATURAL TIHHT RINGLETS WILL NOT HAVE THE WEIGHT TO GRIP ONTO & THEY WILL FRIZZ MORE!!! please help me??? What can I do to help fix the mess out??? Please please reply to me??? I’m very very upset. Also, what can I do to this “Stylist??” I paid a lot of money to get thinned out & my hair was so very thick!!! I loved my thick hair! I’m in shock still! My gut was to run just run as soon he did the first cut! Or grab them from him! But my brain said, “oh no no he already started, yr head will look lopsided??” I honestly was in shock!!! But, I didn’t know what u just unveiled? But, I knew in my gut IT WAS WRONG! ALL WRONG! Like a reverse layer! N U NEVER LAYER MY NATURAL CURLY HAIR UNLESS IT’s just a few long layers around the face!! Please tell me is my curly hair going to be like a “bush now” like a “mushroom head” like the old fashion “bob cut” CAUSE I JUST CANNOT DO THAT!! It’s a mess! Like “Edward Scissorhands cut my hair but in a horrid way!
Have a friend with naturally wavy hair( very thick). She rocks the asymmetrical bob, & she only wears it sleek & smooth. She likes how the texture shears take out the bulk, but she feels the shears is what causes her hair to almost look like she has "fly aways"/"split ends". What can she tell her hairdresser to do to create the style & take out the bulk without creating a problem?
It is possible that her hair is being over-texturized. It's also possible that her hair lacks moisture. You could use a gloss product to smooth it down.
Ends need friends. Now I understand why my wavy/curly hair has no shape in the ends since my last cut. The hairdresser cut my layers way too short for my fine hair. I am left with too little hairs at the bottom and it does not curl anymore! The only thing I do now is cut off as little as possible at the bottom every 6 weeks without touching the layers, just to have it grow together without having too much difference in the lengths (but it will take a long time...) I refuse to have it cut by a hairdresser ever again. There was only one that created perfect layers, but he moved to another country 😞 I am suprised by how few know how to cut layers.
We would recommend that you locate a Redken Artist in your area. Most Redken Artists have attended extensive training with Sam Villa himself or with the techniques that Sam uses. They are highly skilled and they will be able to help with your hair / any hair challenges! You can use the link below to locate a Redken Stylist or a Redken Elite Salon in your area!

Evertime i ask a hairdresser around my area to use the shears on my hair they refuse to 😫 They say my hair is going to grow out very bulked. Ps. I hv so much volume on my hair (they probably don't know the technique for using it) 😞
Worst thing to do to thick hair! I got my haircut and the hair dresser went in with the blending shears and left me with no hair! She didn’t even ask if i wanted my hair thinned out! If she had asked, I would have said HELL NO!
So does blending shears make hair thin . Cause everytime I have haircut I feel like I'm thinking my hair . But after few days it goes back to normal dense hair .
I dont know why but my hair is curly and they always cut my hair and thin my hair with shears scissor and with the razor and it doesnt get frizz i always have my hair ironed so i dont know why they say such thing of curly hair XD
I love the concept you shared about curly hair-- that "ends need friends", and that the weight is necesssary at the ends to form a curl...but what about a blending shear on curly hair that is relaxed or otherwise chemical straightened?
I think if you cut it while relaxed it would look weird when it isn't relaxed anymore. It would mess with the natural flows in the hair that you wouldn't be able to tell since it would be relaxed. Sorry if I made this sound confusing.
I think it would depend on your wave pattern after it was chemically altered, and how you wear your hair.
Man you guys are awesome. So much info on so much technique. I’m not a stylist, I just wondered if the shears used for blending are the same as the shears for removing bulk. Now I see they are. As I person with thin, fine hair, I should probably stop asking them to blend. 😅

Do you use the serrated blade on the underside of the hair or top while blending or thinning ?
Very informative Sam and Andrew. Thank you for sharing these great tips 😊
Thanks for share this kind of tips
I have naturally curly hair and have started doing the ponytail cut at home after getting some bad cuts from stylists.

Thanks for the subscribe! Glad the videos are helping you out.
i love these ways to work from sam villa. fast and easy and clean.
Hi, do you use the thinning shears on wet or dry hair?
Dry that way u c where u have bulkiness
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! I'm still new to the hair industry, loving the awesome techniques you guys are serving! :)
Always looking for new ways to use my blending shears, great tips! Would love to see your "buzz cut" with the blending shears and a full haircut for mens/women's hair as well!
A new word! Duffy texture! Cool great compliment.
U guys are so talented !!!!
You two are awesome thank you!
Hi Sam! Love your videos! I was wondering about your weaving technique. When you cut with the shearing scissors, do you keep the same angle of the scissors as you cut downwards or do you decreases the angle of the scissors to cut thinner?
I'm a makeup artist but I love your videos and very glad I found this Chanel.
Would really love to see a how-to on the Duffy texture buzz cut with the blending signature series shears
We will keep that in mind! Thanks for your support!
Definitely know a few people who’d want to get signature series if they could learn how to do that cut. Don’t think there’s anything like it on YT
Hi! I'm looking for my first pair of blending scissors, how many teeth would you recommend?? 🤔
Thank you! 😊👍
i always leave a layer of hair that is on top that is not being texturized so that when the hair grows out it does not look damaged...........
If this tool should not be used for naturally wavy/curly hair, what should I use? Someone with long naturally wavy hair with the typical triangle, bottom heavy, flat top shape.

Layers
I love you guys
Thank you!!😍🤗
Ends need friends
Where does the invisiblend fall into between those two?
So what is the best way to remove weight from a bulky section of curly hair?
So of your hairs up in a ponytail wont those short hairs at the top stick out/ fall everywhere?
You already have thousands of shorter hairs in between the longer ones because of the natural shedding and regrowing process... the trick is not to get a concentration of short hairs in clumps so that they show up in chunks. Hope that makes sense :-)
Whats a proper %cutting ratio on the blending shear to blend hair properly? Without take much hair
it’s kind of hard to say because each company measures the percentage of removal a little differently. Commonly somewhere in the 12-20% range is good for an every day blending shear
Sam Villa Hair Tutorials you are the best!

How do u use these shears if ur sideburns and baby hairs on the sides were shaved off and grew back coarse thick and like a big blob ???
can these shears be used on relaxed hair?
I love your videos, BUT the two shears you offer are quite expensive. Can you recommend a reasonably-priced essential and reversible shear that someone who is not a professional can afford?
Love you guys! You have so many great ideas!
the finger holes are tight. how is the best way to position them on your thumb and index finger.
Short, sweet, and simple than to the point ...That's great Now I'm going to cut my hair with my new blending chairs😄 thanks
That's why I wonder 🤔 everytime I have haircut why does my hair look so thin and I think am I losing my hair. But after few days I get good volume to my hair .
I have curly/wavy hair and have had to get my hair thinned out my whole life. If I don't get it thinned out, it gets bushy and poufy
momof2 research the deva curl cut, it is amazing for curly hair!
The reason it gets bushy and poofy is because of the thinning once the hair grows out the short hairs for the thinning shears push the longer pieces of hair thus causing it to stick out more..
Great tips
I actually love cutting my own short hair with blending shears.
How do you cut the back?
Is this in California!??! I really need someone who knows what they are doing in Sacramento
Nice video!!!

4:06 OMG you look like Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. Praise indeed, he was a very handsome man.
How can I get your combs
how to cut long layers in the V shape?
you cut the outline of the desired V shape.. then do the layers
Maybe try the unicorn ponytail technique. Just look for the ponytail method of cutting your own hair on youtube. There are masses of vids.
My two favorite guys Sam and Andrew
Thank you. I have naturally curly hair.

Does this work on wavy bangs? you said curly hair?
Yes, we would use the same approach for wavy or curly in this case.
So if we have curly hair and want to remove some weight, is it not possible?
You can definitely remove weight, it just has to be done in a different way. The texture shears cut very small pieces into the hair which can cause frizz on curl. With curly hair, the pieces being removed need to be more deliberate and larger.

nice
can I thin out bangs that are too thick with these scissors ?
yes... there are you tube vids for using it for bangs too
Hi guys iv tried thinning my hair but as I cut I’m cutting straight lines :/ is that suppose to happen ?
I’m also wanting to only thin my hair . Is the teeth suppose to be on the top or bottom
Hi Amanda. This is kind of a big question and we don't really recommend doing these techniques on your own hair... this is something we'd highly recommend a professional hairdresser to help with.
So these shears ruined my curls... so... does the weight and volume every come back? Because it hasn’t for me
Could you upload the video of the professor's haircut?
We have a video with 2 men's haircuts that are very similar on our Artist Studio! www.samvilla.com/pro/artiststudio
What's the difference between Blending shears and Thinning scissors???
Is blending shears the same as thinning shears?
Yes!
My thinner had thinner teeth, it only removed 15-20% of the weight, compared to I believe it's 40% in most others, I'd rather it take out less and make more cuts than have my scissors take out more than expected in one go
Great video, however it's rather frustrating that because I'm not a hair student nor licensed pro I can't buy from the site.

What about The dampness? No one is mentioning the dry vs damp vs wet!
We feel that these tools can be used on damp or dry... on damp hair, they will remove much more hair but other than that, the principles are the same. Hope that helps.
How do I find a hairstylist in New Jersey that uses blending shears?
It's not an unusual tool for a hairstylist to use. You could definitely call different stylists and ask them about their approach to hair.
Well shit. They've always used blending shears on me, but my hair is fairly curly, especially when short.
Curly hair can be cut with blending shears if it's done with respect to not creating too many wispy ends.
Help!!!! I have natural curly hair! I just got all my hair to one length past my lower bra, so all my tight ringlets lay flat w/the correct hair products & I let air dry. Well, I went to to get my color highlight/lowlights done & @ the end the stylist took out those “texture scissors” telling me this will help tremendously w/the weight & thickness of yr natural curly hair of looking like a lioness!” I said, “that’s ok I love that look about my natural curly hair hair, one long layer after the next!” Next thing I knew “he was using them ON MY HEAD!!! WTH! So I saw yr video!!! I was legit crying in the chair!!! I knew once he started there was nothing I could do!!! Can u please tell me what the heck is going to happen now? Yes now my length is gone! My thickness! But, he blew it out straight! Nut I know my hair! I can feel how thinner it is! It’s horrible! I’m freaking out & crying! I know that if it is this short & thin & frizzy straight it is really going to look a mess curly! It took me over 5 years to get my natural curly “all one length & healthy again, ONLY TO HAVE THIS JERK RUIN IT! HE DID WHAT HE WANTED NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR! HOW DO THESE STYLIST EVEN GET THEIR LICENSES?!?!?! He absolutely should not be working on women’s hair! He didn’t know what u said, “right off bat,” about “NEVER USE THISE THINNING SCISSORS ON NATURAL CURLY NOW MY NATURAL TIHHT RINGLETS WILL NOT HAVE THE WEIGHT TO GRIP ONTO & THEY WILL FRIZZ MORE!!! please help me??? What can I do to help fix the mess out??? Please please reply to me??? I’m very very upset. Also, what can I do to this “Stylist??” I paid a lot of money to get thinned out & my hair was so very thick!!! I loved my thick hair! I’m in shock still! My gut was to run just run as soon he did the first cut! Or grab them from him! But my brain said, “oh no no he already started, yr head will look lopsided??” I honestly was in shock!!! But, I didn’t know what u just unveiled? But, I knew in my gut IT WAS WRONG! ALL WRONG! Like a reverse layer! N U NEVER LAYER MY NATURAL CURLY HAIR UNLESS IT’s just a few long layers around the face!! Please tell me is my curly hair going to be like a “bush now” like a “mushroom head” like the old fashion “bob cut” CAUSE I JUST CANNOT DO THAT!! It’s a mess! Like “Edward Scissorhands cut my hair but in a horrid way!
subtitulos por dios... gracias
Hard little bit,but great job sam
Have a friend with naturally wavy hair( very thick). She rocks the asymmetrical bob, & she only wears it sleek & smooth. She likes how the texture shears take out the bulk, but she feels the shears is what causes her hair to almost look like she has "fly aways"/"split ends". What can she tell her hairdresser to do to create the style & take out the bulk without creating a problem?
It is possible that her hair is being over-texturized. It's also possible that her hair lacks moisture. You could use a gloss product to smooth it down.
All I came here is to know how to use scissors to cut paper :(
My hair is poofy mixed wavy and curly, i guess I can skip on this a bit
Hi
Ends need friends. Now I understand why my wavy/curly hair has no shape in the ends since my last cut. The hairdresser cut my layers way too short for my fine hair. I am left with too little hairs at the bottom and it does not curl anymore! The only thing I do now is cut off as little as possible at the bottom every 6 weeks without touching the layers, just to have it grow together without having too much difference in the lengths (but it will take a long time...) I refuse to have it cut by a hairdresser ever again. There was only one that created perfect layers, but he moved to another country 😞 I am suprised by how few know how to cut layers.

Evertime i ask a hairdresser around my area to use the shears on my hair they refuse to 😫 They say my hair is going to grow out very bulked. Ps. I hv so much volume on my hair (they probably don't know the technique for using it) 😞
Texturizing shears can cause thick hair to get bulky in areas if not used properly.
What is your hair texture?
I love your texnic 😀💇
Hi frd I need a job im hairstyles
Adam looks beautiful.
Ends need friends but the person who has those ends, has no friends. 😶
Worst thing to do to thick hair! I got my haircut and the hair dresser went in with the blending shears and left me with no hair! She didn’t even ask if i wanted my hair thinned out! If she had asked, I would have said HELL NO!
So does blending shears make hair thin . Cause everytime I have haircut I feel like I'm thinking my hair . But after few days it goes back to normal dense hair .
Paleez sar Help me I'm barber men saloon and I love professional saloon
