Which Blade Edge is Best for You?

Image
Choosing the correct haircutting shears can be a confusing and complex process. One of the most important aspects of choosing the correct shears is deciding which type of blade edge is right for you. At Kenchii, we offer 4 types of blade edges: Convex, Bevel, Semi-Convex, and Serrated.  Convex Edge A convex edge is the sharpest, finest edge you can get on any shears and is best used for finishing work. All convex edge shears will have a hone or ride line which give the shears its smooth cut without any blade noise. They are made from higher quality metals because a lower quality metal cannot hold this type of edge. Check out our Convex edge shears  here Semi-Convex Edge This type of edge is very similar to a convex edge, but the blades are sharpened at a lesser degree. These shears are extremely versatile and can be used for everyday cutting and finish work.  Check out our Semi-Convex edge shears  here Bevel Edge A bevel edge, or German edge, is extremely durable.

Made in Japan vs. Japanese Steel

You may have heard from several  hair shear companies announcing that their shears are made of Japanese steel. Are they as good as real Japanese shears? And, what is the difference? What Makes A Quality Shears Let's take a step back first and quickly discuss the idea of "necessary but not sufficient". Many of the best hairdressers (and scissors sharpeners, by the way) have decades of experience, so is it safe to say that what makes a great stylist is decades of experience? No, not at all. There are many stylists (and scissors owners, again), who have decades of experience, but are not particularly good at their job. If in these years they have not actively tried to improve their skills through constant training, passion and hard work, they stagnate and do not progress as designers. Similarly, the production of shears is a combination of many important factors. What grade of steel did the manufacturer start with? How was the steel milled and treated when the shear

Stylists, barbers , and hair care professionals who take their jobs seriously often pay hundreds of dollars for every pair of hair shears, edge cutters, or thinners they possess. When these expensive cutting tools are broken or broken for some reason, the owners of the tools often show concern for the state of their hair cutting tools.

How To Use Thinner Shears

So You Have A New Pair Of Thinner Shears I recently bought the thinner shears for hair to use with my girls, trying to save some money, but I do not know exactly how to use them.  All I want to do is straighten my hair from time to time because her hair is very long and too thick. Could you please tell me how to do this? You may not believe it, but using thin scissors is so simple that the biggest problem people face is using them too much.  The scissors, when you look at them, have teeth instead of blades and eliminate less hair with a single "sniper". The purpose is to eliminate the "mass" of the hair without altering the hairstyle. In the case of long, thick hair that needs to be diluted, we recommend combing straight hair and then working on smaller sections. Slide the scissors open on the long hair at a point between 1/3 of the way and 1/2 of the length of the scalp.  Make a single "cut", then open and remove the sci

The Facts About Hair Thinning Shears My hair isn't too thick, so I'm always a little worried when my barber pulls out her hair thinning shinning . What are you using them for? These hair shears are common and are used by many hair stylist. Although the thinning of the hair is too thick and therefore unmanageable, it is the main reason why a stylist uses thinning shears, is not the only reason.  When I'm combing someone's hair, I sometimes use thinning shears to soften the edges of the haircut, especially around the ears. In this way, your cut seems to be a few weeks when you leave the hairdresser instead of having an ultra tight, G.I. Joe style hairstyle, you know, with hard and angular lines around the ears and neck.  The thinning shears are also perfect for fading short and short sides into a longer upper, so don't be alarmed if your barber pulls them out towards the end of the haircut.   What is Right For Your Hair I can
