Difference between Effiliation and Modelling Scissors.


To make it easier, we have called all the scissors thinning scissors with the addition of single or double sided

The correct name for the double-sided thinning scissors would be thinning scissors and the single-sided thinning scissors would be modelling or blender scissors. However, since there is always confusion, we have simply made it simpler.

Effiliation scissors

The thinning scissors (double sided serrated).

The thinning scissors are serrated on both sides. The blades are alternately notched so that they do not catch all the hair. The thinning scissors cut about 1/3 of the hair of a strand. The thinning scissors should be used by experienced hairdressers because they are more difficult to use and you have to cut very carefully.

The modelling scissors (single serrated)

The bender scissors are only serrated on one side - the other side is smooth. With modelling scissors, about half of the hair of a strand is cut. The modelling scissors can be guided better and more precisely.

Modelling scissors

Both scissors ensure that the hair is cut in different lengths. This makes the cut look looser and above all very natural. The transitions are also worked on with modelling scissors or thinning scissors to make the possibly hard edges soft and "invisible". However, a line that should be sharp-edged and recognisable as a straight line should always be cut with straight or curved dog scissors.
