Update: My texture trick that goes against the grain

Lots of barbers swear by thinning shears, but I get better results using just my regular scissors (seriously, it works). I do a light, pointed snip at the ends which blends things without that chopped-up look.

Oh interesting, I read an article a while back about some barbers who totally avoid thinning shears. They said it can make hair look frizzy and weak over time, especially on certain hair types. Your pointed snip method sounds like it gives that piecey texture without wrecking the hair's health. Makes a lot of sense when you put it that way.

My old barber blamed thinning shears for my frizz, @thomas_hill22.

My stylist switched to texturizing scissors, same idea but safer.
