sharp shears for healthy looking hair [SEP] i learned some things when i was looking for hair cutting shears mostly that you can pay around for the best onesused by professionalsandthat you need very sharp scissors or shears to cut or trim hairi have been trimming and shaping my own hair for a long time and am usually happy with the resultsconsidering too many timeswhen i would go to a salon to have it cut or shaped or trimmedthey did a job i was almost always disappointed with i decided a long time agoif someone was going to screw up my hairit might as well be me at least i have a good idea on when to stop cutting it and i actually care what the final result looks likei also have finewavy hair not the easiest to cuti have noticedand maybe it was from using whatever scissors were around at the timethat sometimes the ends do look a bit frazzled and in researching shearsi found out that unless the blades are very sharpthe ends can breakor result in split ends i do not have split ends and never noticed themexcept for a longlong time ago when i was a teenager buti have used these once to do some light trimming and shaping with wavy hair you are always shapingcutting with the wave and not cutting against the wave andthese shears have produced a nice result and i do not see the somewhat frazzled or lightningbolt effect at the ends of my hairthat i sometimes geti have used these just oncei only trim my hair to maintain healthy looking endsand i did it a few weeks agoand i like these and i am glad i looked for something better than any old scissors that i have on hand
