Have you ever had your hair thinned out?

[ColourMyDreams]

That is thinned out with shears or scissors or whatever else you stylist uses...

Was it a horror story?

Or did it do you some good?

I've had both great experiences with it as my hair is thick, and also one horror story where they cut in a way which the hair grew out funny for 2 years. So basically now I'm scarred

and would like to hear everyone's opinion or experiences.

If there are any hairstylists on this board I'd love to hear your take on this too!

thanks

I have it done just about every time I go! I just have too much hair and if I don't it weighs my hair down!

I always have it done when I'm at the hairdresser - but my hair is so thick, it really doesn't feel much different lol.

 

[as_cute_as_pie]

i have it done when i ask lol
i dont really notice a difference and dont think it does anything hah

 

[bottleblack]

Hehe, I usually have to tell them to keep going 2 or 3 times to get it where I want it to be.

Looks good at first for me, but as my hairs grows it looks worse and kinda flyaway.

I like getting my hair thinned. It feels a lot lighter, although I don't really notice anything visually.

 

[addicted_2color]

yes I've had it done. It just depends what type of cut I'm getting to see if my stylist will use it. But this past time I got it done, my stylist only did the ends to create layers and also since my hair is thick

So far I haven't had any stories w/my stylist.

I have very fine hair, but I have lots of it so I always get mine thinned and textured to help give me the style I like. I think it just depends on what kind of style you are looking for. Mine is short and spikey in a bit of a faux hawk so it needs to be light and airy. If you want poker straight hair, thinning may not be the way to go.

no, but I would love to try this.

I get my bangs thinned out because I still get the right look but it doesn't look "bang heavy"

My sister pretty much always uses thinning shears on my hair. I have a *ton* of hair, so it needs thinning out whenever I have it cut. I've never had a bad experience with it, so I think it's great. Thinning shears are, IMO, one of the greatest inventions in history. At least for me!

I used to get mine thinned out and I liked it! But now I haaaaaate layers in my crappyass hair. Haha.

You might want to ask your stylist to texturize your hair instead of thin in out... that way they'll take out less and it'll be more towards the ends (depending on how long your hair is).

I have too much hair.. and its too thick for it not to be thinned out when i get a cut. so my exp. with thinning has been good

 

[ette]

No because my hair is so thin anyway! LOL.

 

[Shopaholic-xox]

Yes with shears. My cousin was giving me a haircut (shes currently learning how to become an esthetician) and she wanted to thin out my hair. I have really thick hair. It looked good except for the fact that she went a bit too far.

Oh wow? You got your bangs thinned huh. I never actually thought of that. My fringe is usually pretty heavy and annoying. So that might help

I usually get my hair thinned out. It helps with the overall shape and that, and it sits better, because I have thick hair.

I'm thinking about thinning mine out... I have soooo much hair is not funny... trust me you can't even get an idea from this pic... But my question is, will it then grow weird if i don't keep thinning it out? I dont want to get it done if it's going to look like crap if i dont keep doing it afterwards...

 

[litlaur]

I've had it done, but only with longer haircuts. It makes a big difference for me. I didn't have any weird growing out problems.
