I've done that before too Jenny.  Not with synthetic, but HH and it looked the same.  I ran out to Sally's (or they have them at Ulta too)  and found these cheap hair thinning shears.  They look like regular scissors except one side has teeth.  Then I pilled the hair on top of my head and only pulled down a few rows of extensions.  I used those thinning shears at a 45 degree angle and chopped up to thin  out the hair ends to get rid of the blunt look.  Then I  scrunchied that freshly cut hair and put it to the side so I wouldn't cut it again by mistake and pulled down a few more rows of extensions.  I did the same thing to those rows of hair only I cut them about about an inch shorter.  I kept doing this for a few more rows.  It helped hide the blunt ends, but still didn't look as good as a professional layer cut.  It held me through until my next hair extensions though.  Good luck.  Cutting hair is really hard for me so I don't know if this is good advice or not.  It worked for me, but like I said it looks better when somone who knows what they are doing cuts my hair.

It doesn't look that bad Jen!  You could point cut w/the thinning shears too, I wouldn't go into the lenght at all, just at the bottoms.  You could try a blunt cut w/the thinning shears and this will give it a point cut/textured look.  Good Luck!

Yep elvira....I always used a disposable razor too before I bought a feather razor. It will definitely do in a pinch!

I take a disposable razor and start from the inside and shave from my chin down, peice by peice all the way around.Then I just keep doing that all over and it gives a really good layered look.

Jenny, I don't know how well this will work with extensions, but to break up that two-tiered look, you can take one-inch wide vertical sections (maybe less, if the extensions are really thick), pull each one straight out from your head and snip at an angle (just cut inwards from the bottom so the longest portion stays the same length all around).  Just work all the way around your head, section by section.  That's how I layer my hair.

hiya, if you dont have a hair razor handy just take a disposable shaving raxzor and use that, its fine for synth hair :) just dont dig the razor in.

 

Thinning scissors -

you need to split your hair into quite large sections ( about 6) and just take a section, and well, basically take *1* chop in the middle of the length :) And thats it!

You can take those blunt ends...grab em and back comb e with your sheas. It will shred them/tekturize them. Otherwise, invest in a feather razor!

use thinning shears( texurizers) grab a section of hair leaving about two inches  hanging, and use the thinning shears and snip into the hair, it will take out hair in the same sections as the teeth are.

dont i repeat, DONT use thinning shears on the top of your hair if you have thin hair, you will look like your balding!

(someone did that to me when i was in beauty school) i thought i was going bald.!!!

how exactly are you supposed to use thinning shears? I have a pair but never really knew how to use them. Maybe a blonde thing......

I agree with everyone, point cutting into the ends would help the bluntness.  Also, if you have thinning shears with fine teeth, that would also help taper the ends.

I'm just glad to know there is someone else wearing my haircut...but I have to say it looks quite a bit better on you.   I finally bought a box of straight razor blades just to "peel" the ends.  Works pretty good really.
