SHEAR QUIZ
How To Choose
The Right Shear
This guide will help you choose the best shear for your hair cutting needs.
WATCH THIS VIDEOWhen cutting hair you're using very specific areas of your body on a daily basis – your fingers, hands and wrists – repeatedly, often replicating the same movements over and over again.
If the movement of using your shears means that you have to reach your thumb back towards your ring finger then this stretches the thumb tendon. When you’re doing this repeatedly, every day, it creates a lot of stress and inflammation.
You may also find that you have to hold your elbow high to cut, resulting in an unnatural stance that puts pressure on neck and elbows.
