Everybody is different when it comes to their preferred haircuts. While some people are adamant that "no thinning, please!" is acceptable, others adore the texture and volume that thinning shears can add. However, what exactly does hair thinning entail, and why is it frowned upon by some?
Thinning shears are made to make thick hair seem and feel lighter by taking away bulk. On the other hand, thinning hair can make fine or fragile hair look stringy or uneven. For some people, this method works like magic, but for others, it can be a nightmare.
This post will discuss who should avoid thinning shears and who can benefit from them. Let’s examine the specifics to learn how various hair types and styles are affected by this well-liked cutting technique.

1. The essence of the procedure

Filming: This process involves exposing hair density. Professional filtering scissors or filtering razors are used by hairdressers for this purpose. This process, which is always carried out after the haircut, gives your hairstyle a polished appearance and a smooth appearance. Its goal is to "smooth" out any minor irregularities in the haircut. may cover the entire head or just a portion of it. To put it simply, what is it? This is the hairstyle’s strand cutting, which happens at various heights. It should be noted that thinning can be used to both increase the volume and decrease the thickness of sparse hair.
There are several types of thinning
Experts say that thinning the ends of hair is necessary to give the hair lightness and smooth transitions in the haircut. This kind of thinning is occasionally applied during the processing of bangs.

Volume is produced by root thinning (caused by the appearance of short strands at the roots).
You cannot cut your hair short on the parietal or upper occipital region of the head without getting a hedgehog effect.

Both to add lightness to thick hair and to create asymmetrical, ripped haircuts, the entire length must be thinned.

Some people prefer not to thin their hair when getting a haircut, but not everyone knows what it means or who should avoid it. This article examines the reasons behind some people’s decision to forego thinning, weighs the advantages and disadvantages, and assists you in determining whether this technique is appropriate for your particular hair type and style.
2. Thinning and different types of hair
Conventionally, there are four types of hair:
Sort 1.
Plenty of mass, thick, healthy, and fairly thick. The first type of hair is typically shiny and glassy. Both black and red hair belong to this group.

Sort 2.
Radiant and robust. Compared to the first type, they are rarer and thinner. There are light brown strands in this group.

Sort 3.
Rare, rough and thin. This type of hair in most cases has no shine. This is mainly for light-colored hair.

Sort 4.
Hair that has undergone a chemical curling treatment, such as hydroperite.

If you want to add more lightness to your hairstyle, thinning is not inappropriate for first and second hair types. Razors or scissors are used for the first type of hair, and special or straight scissors are used for the second.
The third and fourth hair types are NOT WORTH IT thinning because they can lose volume due to significant thinning.
It is not advised to thin out extremely curly hair because this can cause the hair to become fluffy and shaggy.
3. Pros and cons of thinning
(This is not my viewpoint; please read online)
The bangs appear more put together and "expensive."
Thinning makes the curls lighter and more voluminous.
Because of their inventiveness, some haircuts necessitate thinning all the way around.
Following it, hair might begin to split.
Thin hair appears thinner.
It takes a long time to restore hair after poor-quality thinning.
Thinning appears to be an easy technique that can be performed on its own at first glance. It’s important to keep in mind, though, that a true master will consider the kind of hair, its thickness, the style, and a few other details that are exclusive to experts. Therefore, you should only entrust the job to a reputable and experienced hairdresser if you want the thinning of your hair following a haircut to become the key to its beauty and attractiveness.
Negative effects appear to be easily preventable if you take all the advice and select a reputable master (or practice at home with patience). But is this really all that bright?
4. Practical part-instruction
I spent a few hours researching this online and came to the conclusion that the number of people who are happy with the thinning process is significantly lower than the number who are not. The majority of supporters are people who have fallen in love with the thinning of the bangs and who are compelled to update their short, ragged haircut on a regular basis.
Regardless of hair thickness, girls with long hair are more likely to have opponents (those whose knees quiver at the mention of "thinning"), green faces when they become enraged, and a willingness to rip off the hands of hairdressing experts with those same thinning scissors—moreover, to rip off, as the master tore off the unfortunate ends of their hair.

If everything appears to be fine in theory, then why are there failures? Based on what has been read and seen, the generalization that follows includes some hilarious explanations:
Some blame the illiteracy of the master, the use of low-quality tools, the wrong thinning technique.
The guilty party is the hairdressers’ desperate need to chop up whatever comes in their path, regardless of your hair type or the fact that you do not share their desire. Just. Cut. Yes, it’s nice to have.
Both novice and seasoned hair stylists, I suppose, tend to thin out in an attempt to cover up their shortcomings.
The hair appears somewhat decent after thinning, but the ends worsen even more than before the haircut; the client wonders why the hair is getting worse despite taking care of it, so they go back to the salon, pay, and get thinned at the hairdresser’s insistence (a vicious cycle). Conspiracy theorists contend that thinning was invented by brilliant and cunning minds in the beauty industry in order to con people and keep them on a short leash.
Some stylists willfully thin clients’ hair with every haircut because they are so accustomed to doing so, even when the client begs for a cut without thinning. Some are able to turn the subject away from the mirror using regular scissors. They argue that "it will be better this way" and that "you will still say thank you" in response to the protestors’ outcries, taking offense at their actions. Nothing to say at all.
In order to get the ideal look for you, it’s critical to comprehend the function of thinning in haircuts. Some people prefer to keep their hair at its natural weight and texture, while others may find that thinning their hair helps them add movement and reduce bulk.
It’s critical to discuss your preferences and hair goals with your stylist in plain language. If you would rather not have your hair thinned, don’t be afraid to request alternative methods. A competent stylist will present options that complement your desired style and hair type.
In the end, being aware of the benefits of thinning hair and the people it suits best gives you the ability to choose your haircut wisely. You can get a look that complements your natural hair type and your style with the appropriate method.
