Glad it was helpful!

Just wondering why the shears appear to be pushing? Even with a large section, expertly sharpened shears don't push.

[@kcnova1561]

Not true. Every shear will push, especially with large sections. Even when sharpened.

[@Thegreywanderer42]

Hello I hope someone reads this. My question is are the blades ever suppose to cross over each other? Like the left blade crosses over the right at the tip. Are dry shears suppose to do that? I got into an interesting conversation about that and can’t seem to find a definite answer. Thank you

[@HanzoNation]

Hey Daryl--Blades should never cross over at the tip. If that’s happening the shear is either missing a bumper or the handle is bent which can easily be bent back into position by hand with a forged shear.

[@shendetgashi2100]

I have a big problem with my shears.. so blades first of all dont match with each other when i close them and the little screw that keeps them together keeps loses by it self everytime i use it

[@HanzoNation]

Shendet--lets get you into contact with your local Hanzo shear rep and they can inspect your Hanzos to see what's going on. Call us at 916.790.5291 and we'll get someone on the case for you.

Two questions: Is that real hair on the manikin? And is it the same for thinning shears?

[@HanzoNation]

Hey Scott--we use these mannequins: hairartproducts.com/collections/mannequins And yes, the texturizers can be serviced the same way.

[@scottm2553]

@@HanzoNation Wow, very impressive prices for real hair.

[@ashleyashley4694]

I feel like my texturizing shears keep pulling hair while I'm using them.

[@HanzoNation]

Even after adjusting the tension?

[@anthonyg4073]

Is the hair evenly damped? Comb? Maybe putting serum on the hair prior to cutting?

[@jeffreythurston9630]

My shears push the hair when I try to cut. Would that be because the tension needs to be adjusted or because they need to be sharpened?

[@jeffreythurston9630]

Also how often should the shears be sharpened?

[@HanzoNation]

Hey Jeff--you definitely want to adjust the tension first. However, keep in mind that every shear has a degree of push--some just have significantly more than others. Our HH1 Kamikaze is one that will push more because of the design. But that's the point of the shear...it's meant for layering, fringes, and point cutting. Our Pai Mei is a shear that's designed for a significantly straighter all-around cut. It just depends on which shear you have.

[@HanzoNation]

@@jeffreythurston9630 we recommend shears that are used full-time be sharpened twice a year. Your texturizers should be sharpened at least once per year.

[@spiritofkem]

thank you :)

Nice informative video, but he is clearly not a hair stylist. C'mon Hanzo, I know your sales people are educated on the product, but keep them away from the hair. 🤣
