BLENDING & THINNING SHEARS INFORMATION

A thinning shear has teeth on both blades and
A Blending Shear has teeth on one blade and a solid cutting edge on the other.
See more information (way) below.:)

A thinning/Blending shear can ruin or make your finished coat!

With a regular blending shear you constantly have to clear hair that has become jammed in between the teeth.

uncut hair is jammed in between the teeth by a sharp blade.
The hair is bruised and damaged.  In two or three days, the hair will split.  leaving the hair rough to the touch, limp & lifeless.  You the Stylist, despite your skills, will get the blame.

The 'Key-Hole" Blender has 'Y' shaped teeth and holes at the base that allow the un-cut hair to slide through ....... un-harmed.

Both blades on TALYN Shears are concave; giving a Clean precise cut with no splitting, bruising or damage.
 
A regular thinning shear, usually has cutting edges of 25 degrees.
TALYN 'Key-Hole' Blenders are sharpened at 50 degrees. Twice as sharp!

This design took us 4 years to perfect and is another proud "TALYN" first.

{We are working on a True Thinner and should be ready in a couple of months.}

The different uses for a Blending Shear and a Thinning Shear.

Blending Shears (One toothed blade and one solid blade) are used for blending hair and finishing.  A Blender should not be used more than 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch from the tips of the hair. This shear is not for getting rid of bulk or volume and not for working deep into the hair.

Thinning Shears (Have teeth on both blades) are used for thinning out bulk and reducing bulk. They can be used in longer hair and generally are not used for finishing.

Texturizing Shears have larger teeth or teeth skipped or grouped in patterns and will give different design effects on the hair, depending on the layout of the teeth.

With thinners and texturizers, try not too use the blades nearer to the screw. When the shear is closed, there is a circular motion at the base while closing. this is not as pronounced from the middle towards the tips. This circular motion near the screw, will crunch or rip the hair and damage it.
