Blending Shears for a Smooth Transition

What are blending shears used for in a haircut?

a) Adding increased blending
b) Creating demarcation lines
c) Removing bulk
d) Adding texture

Answer:

a) Adding increased blending

Blending shears, with 14-19 teeth, are used to blend layers in a haircut, creating a smooth transition between lengths without demarcation lines.

The shears with 14-19 teeth that add increased blending are known as blending shears. These shears are designed to help blend layers together, creating a smooth transition between lengths in the haircut without leaving demarcation lines or removing bulk. Blending shears may also be referred to as blending scissors, and they can be used for thinning hair, but their primary use is to create a blended look. They are different from thinning shears, which usually have more teeth and are used primarily to remove bulk rather than blend. Texturizing shears and chunking shears also have fewer teeth and are used for creating texture or removing larger sections of hair, respectively.
