QuoteReplyTopic: Thinning Shears versus Layering: Which is Better? Posted: April 30 2000 at 9:34pm
A few months ago, I had my hair cut shorter than I ever had it before. It was about chin length until my stylist went through my hair with thinning shears. It really lightened the weight, but I would like to know if there is a difference between the final look of hair that has been thinned or hair that has been layered. Also are there any advantages or disadvantages with either?
This isn't a professional explanation, but I have had both done to my hair.
I have a shoulder length bob (it was chin but is growing out) and had the top of my head thinned for height - my hair is thick but straight. I am able to keep the look of one length and have the benefits of layering as far as weight reduction on the hair. Layering on my hair works out great if I want to roll it all the time, or perm, but on my hair when I wear it straight it looks too thin at the ends.
Does that help?

Thinning adds what are reffered to as internal layers. Good foe styling options and removing extra weight. But if done correctly you will still have a blunt cut look. Layers are done with shorter hair blending to longer in varying extremes depending upon the finished look intended.So yes there is a big difference.
