Answers to Your Top 5 Hair Shear Questions
Get to Know Blending and Thinning Shears
A Blending Shear is a kind of shear that removes weight in a manner that does not generate noticeable texture or volume. The teeth of a Blending Shear are thin, and the gaps between the teeth are similarly tiny. It is likely that the cut hair and the uncut hair will merge together. They typically contain anywhere from 30 to 45 teeth, however the exact number is dependent on the length of the blade. The Thinning Shear is an excellent tool for eliminating the appearance of scissor marks in the hair as well as decreasing weight without causing an increase in volume. Additionally, it may be used to smooth out and eliminate any harshness from a cut.

Colored Shears Such as Pink Shears, Black Shears and Gold Shears
Titanium is used in the process of imparting one-of-a-kind hues into the steel surface of a pair of scissors. Because it is not located on the cutting edge of the shear, this coating does not have a beneficial effect on the shear's ability to retain its edge or its overall performance. This is done for purely aesthetic reasons, with the end goal of making the sheer seem more appealing. Remember that the titanium coating does not have an indefinite lifespan. The lifetime of the item will be significantly shortened if it is subjected to strong chemicals and does not get routine care and maintenance.
Saki Shears has a number of titanium coated shears such as the very popular Saki Katana, Saki Kohana and Saki Gold shear sets. We use a superior quality titanium to achieve, rich, beautiful color hair shears such as black, pink and gold.
