I got my hair sheared rather then cut and now it seems thinner and less wavy. Is that what happens when getting your hair sheared rather than cut?

Shearing is apparently a new tool or technique in salons... to cut layers in one stroke? I'm not sure, but from pictures of the sheared, that would be my guess. a search for "shearing" got me a lot of llamas.

Llamas! Coolness :-) . I would've expected sheep.

Yup, sheep showed up in my "shear" search results too... but llamas are more fun to count : P

Llamas are llovely. On another website I have an avatar picture of one, only it''s hairy, not shorn :D

Anyway, I think the original poster wasn''t specific enough. In what way was it shorn? You know, hairdresser''s scissors are normally called SHEARS. Shearing can mean cutting hair closely to the scalp, or it can (I think) just mean getting a haircut, at least archaically. What exactly happened? Was your hair cut with scissors or with clippers? Be more specific, please.
