Can these be used for thinning hair in needed places? I assume they can judging from their name, but no reviews mention using them for that purpose.

Carolyn, I did not purchase these same scissors, the ones I got are just straight hair cutting shears. I agree with some of the other answers, you need to know exactly what you are doing not only for the current style you are trying to achieve but for the hairstyle that you will have as the hair grows back. For a lot of thinning, I recommend you got to a professional. If you know how to use these, I recommend you not use them on yourself but on others...hope that helps.

yes. thinning shears are for thinning out hair. but you have to know howt o use them otherwise itll look awful and grow back really bad and funny sticking out.

Absolutely Carol... just be very careful! And it's always nice to have someone help you if it's a place where you can't see.

I don't know about thinning, but I do know they work wonders on my super fine hair!

They would probably do a good enough job on his head but not for line work on his beard. They are too bulky for line work and do not get close enough. But they are great from trimming and have worked well for me. They could do line work if they had to but I prefer something smaller like a peanut to do that.

I wouldn't think so. I was using them to prevent hair shedding not regrowth of hair. But it worked for me! Good luck!

I don't know if you can use them together. I don't see why not, this is just to cover the spot. Nothing as far as treating hair loss. You do have to wash this out everyday.

Yes, that should work fine. I have thinner hair on the top of my head so I use it on just my roots and it helps a lot!

That is a close description of what I do and my hair type, and they didn't work for me. I live in north Texas where the humidity is not low. I think that has quite a bit to do with it. I think if you live in a very dry area you stand a better chance of it working. When I say they didn't work, I mean not even a tiny bit, rollers in, rollers left in for 30 minutes, rollers out, NOTHING, limp hair.

They provide a very close shave for those areas. I have used the to shave my face after a week's beard growth with ease.... not razor close of course but very close for a battery powered clipper.

I have very long thin hair. i have been using brushes by mason pearson for many many years and they are wonderful. so I assume they will work on your hair.

They re to BE used on dry hair. Use a dryer any which Way (no need to Style) abd Then put The rollers in.

I don't believe these were designed as balding shears. They are more suited for trimming and lining up. There are specific clippers for molding cuts. If you modify your search query they should return in the listing.

I think hair that is at least 6" long would be best. You have to pull your hair kind of tight to get it to stay put. There is no need to be neat when using these rollers. Any which way will do just fine. They fall out of thin short hair but work well with a little mousse to hold them in your hair. Don't expect really wet, thick hair to dry quickly. Sleep all night in them and dry your hair somewhat before you set it. Not a pretty sight wearing these, but the end result is surprisingly not bad at all!

I would say based upon my ability to use it (and I've used these for years now...) that these are really only shapers and shavers, not hair shorteners. They don't have the ability to trim down the length of your eyebrow hair. Also, without significant practice, they tend to also take off indiscriminate amounts of hair, which can be really unfortunate! Don't use these to make your eyebrow hair shorter! I would recommend going to a salon for shorter eyebrow hair!

I cannot answer from any experience. If someone has long hair around the neck, this should work. If we are talking of head hair going all the way down to the neck, then it should be possible to thin the hair. But one is unlikely to get a sharp trim line.

I haven't! But...if one has a very thin spot it could certainly work -- great sunscreen -- but there are great products out there designed for hair which will also protect one 'a scalp.

No - I would not buy it for this type of hair. Mine is very fine and thin and it is great, but it is too thin for thicker hair
