FAQs
What is the main benefit of the DS+ Offset Thinner's tooth design?
The innovative 30-tooth design with its specific tip configuration guarantees an extremely smooth feel, preventing any pulling or dragging on the hair.
Is this scissor suitable for beginners?
While the design offers comfort and ease of use, mastering precise thinning and texturizing techniques often requires practice. It is best suited for professionals or those with some experience in scissor work.
Can I use these scissors for general cutting?
No, these are specialized thinning scissors. They are designed specifically for thinning, texturizing, and removing bulk, not for clean blunt cuts.
How often should I oil my scissors?
It is recommended to oil the pivot point of your scissors daily or after each significant use to maintain smooth operation and prevent corrosion.
What does 'offset' refer to in the scissor design?
'Offset' refers to the arrangement where the thumb handle is shorter than the finger handle, creating an angle that aligns more naturally with the hand and wrist, reducing strain.
How do I clean the scissors after use?
Wipe the blades with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove hair and styling product residue. For stubborn residue, use a specialized scissor cleaning solution.
What is the purpose of the convex razor edge?
The acute convex razor edge on the cutting blade ensures a sharp, clean cut through the hair, which is crucial for effective thinning and texturizing without damaging the hair shaft.
Troubleshooting
Scissor feels stiff or difficult to open/close
Apply a drop of scissor oil to the pivot point and work the blades back and forth. Ensure no hair is trapped in the pivot area. If the issue persists, the tension may need adjustment by a professional.
Hair is being pulled or snagged
Ensure the blades are clean and properly oiled. Check the tension; it might be too loose. If the problem continues, the convex edge may need professional re-sharpening or inspection.
Cutting performance has decreased
The blades may be dull. Professional sharpening is recommended to restore the acute convex razor edge and ensure clean cuts.
Scissor making unusual noises
This often indicates a need for cleaning and oiling at the pivot. If noise persists, check for debris or consider professional servicing.
