Many men have a problem with their hair getting thinner over time without any help. There are a fortunate few, however, who are blessed with a head full of thick hair. For these lucky individuals, there are times when the hair may become so thick that it takes on a puffy appearance and becomes a problem. This situation can leave people wondering how to thin hair.

Fortunately, the process is fairly simple. There is a special type of scissors that is made specifically for the purpose of thinning hair. These scissors have a special serrated edge that only cuts a portion of the hair that it goes across. Use of these scissors makes thinning the hair a simple matter of cutting it with them.

If one wishes to add some texture to the hair while thinning it, cutting the hair with the thinning scissors at different lengths will provide a bit of layering that can make styling the hair much simpler. This type of layered hairstyle is quite attractive on most men as well as women.

If one does not have access to a pair of thinning scissors, thinning the hair can be accomplished with regular scissors. The process of thinning the hair is accomplished by using a comb and a pair of scissors to cut the hair at different lengths to form layers. Care must be exercised to avoid cutting the hair too short. The cuts should be short and quick and done in sections so that combing and styling the hair will leave a smooth appearance with no gaps.

For the best results, it is recommended that one go to a salon and have the hair thinned by a professional stylist who can ensure that the hair is only thinned and can style the hair to make sure that the best appearance is achieved.
