10 Best Hair Cutting Scissors 2019

In this article, we will be looking at a 10 Best Hair Cutting Scissors 2019 guide to see why we need to have hair cutting scissors, how to clean them, and the benefits that can be had. We have all used scissors at some point in our lives, maybe as early as a little child in a craft lesson. So, scissors should be no ‘stranger’ to you.

However, using a pair of scissors for your hair is something that needs to be chosen with care. Let’s ‘dive right in’ and see what this guide has to say!

Why Do You Need A Hair Scissors?

It is a simple answer to a simple question – to cut one’s hair. It is much better to use designated hair scissors to take care of your hair cutting needs. This way, you know that it won’t be used for anything else but hair.

It won’t get dull easily or quickly and it will provide a clean cut for your hair strands and not cause any kind of splitting of the hair while cutting.

What Is The Difference Between Shears And Scissors?

There is a difference between shears and scissors. Scissors tend to have symmetrical, equally sized finger holes and are usually under 6″ in blade length, while shears have one smaller finger hole and one larger finger hole and can be much longer than 6″ in blade length.

Of course, there are various types of both cutting tools. Here are a few that you might be familiar with:

• Household, kitchen
• Outdoors, hunting, gardening
• Sewing
• Manicure, mustache, hair, nose
• Electrical

As you can see, there are a few, as well as others.

Who Can Use Them?

Ideally, scissors should only be used by a competent adult – no children. For a professional haircut, you can use the services of a professional by visiting a hair salon. It can be a pricey option, but at least you might be assured of getting a good job done.

Alternately, you can do-it-yourself with the help of reputable cutting scissors and this 10 Best Hair Cutting Scissors 2019 guide should help you to be able to choose the best one for your needs.

How To Maintain – Clean & Sharpen Them

As with so many things, longevity, and maintenance – it all comes down to care! Let’s take a look at the best way to care for your hair scissors.

You can wipe the scissors with a cotton swab and some rubbing alcohol. This will effectively clean any bacteria or loose hair caught in between the blades. It will dry quickly as well.

You can also wash the scissors under a tepid stream of running water from your tap. Once finished, you need to wipe it completely dry and then leave it ‘standing’ on the ‘tips’ to allow any excess water to drip away from between the blades or better still, just direct some heat on it using a blow dryer.

As you won’t be using this pair of scissors for anything but hair, the chances of it becoming dull are minimal so there is no need to worry about its sharpness until a few years, at least, and even then, it would be time to invest in another pair.

However, if you choose to sharpen the older pair that you have, there are sharpening blocks or sharpening files that you can use or maybe take it to a hardware store to get it done professionally.

Benefits Of Having A Designated Hair Scissors

Yes, it might be an old wives tale, but my grandmother always insisted on using one and the same pair of scissors to do your hair trimming or hair cutting jobs! And I continue to do the same for my hair and those of the family.

A few benefits to be noted:

• A designated pair of scissors mean longer use and better cut
• Blades stay sharper better
• Easier to clean
• You will get accustomed to the same cutting tool easily

I am sure you might be able to think of a few more,  and if you do, please let me know. Without further ado, let’s now look at the 10 Best Hair Cutting Scissors 2019 list. Maybe you can find a good pair for you and your household.
