Texturising Shears

Why stylists reach for them

• Modern shags and mullets: Create airy, undone layers without losing control of density.
• Thick curls needing definition: Remove bulk internally while keeping curl clumps intact.
• Editorial finishing: Build movement in bobs or lobs after blunt cutting.
• Men's texture crops: Add grit without grabbing clippers.

Key features

• Tooth count: 7–14 wide teeth with deep grooves so hair slips in sections, not wisps.
• Cut percentage: 40–70% depending on model—check the spec before you go wild.
• Blade design: One straight blade and one sculpted tooth blade; convex edges give the smoothest action.
• Handle: Swivel or crane handles help keep your elbow low when texturising around the crown.

Technique playbook

• Work on dry hair to see the fall immediately—spritz with water only if the hair is fighting you.
• Start mid-lengths and work out; avoid roots unless you want a full shag silhouette.
• Use vertical sectioning for airy movement, diagonal for softer blending.
• Pair with a blender when you need to soften the perimeter after removing bulk.

Keep them sharp

Texturising shears hate product build-up. Clean them after every styling-heavy session, oil nightly and only sharpen with a tech who can polish sculpted teeth. Bent teeth will catch and create holes you cannot hide.

Tried-and-true picks

• Kasho Green Series Texturiser: Powder steel bite with ergonomic crane handle.
