Preparation: Sanitize the thinners with an alcohol wipe or barbicide before use to ensure hygiene.

Hair Preparation: Work with clean, dry, or slightly damp hair, sectioned as needed for thinning or blending.

Thinning Technique:
Hold the thinners at a 45-degree angle to the hair section.

Use short, gentle snips to remove bulk, blend layers, or add texture, working from mid-length to ends.

Avoid over-thinning by taking small sections and checking frequently.

Texturizing: For chunkier texture, use the 6" (30 teeth) model to create softer, layered effects; for finer blending, use the 5.5" (27 teeth) model.

Post-Use: Clean hair and debris from the blades with a soft cloth or brush. Sanitize and store in a protective case to maintain sharpness.

Maintenance: Regularly oil the pivot point and have the blades sharpened by a professional every 6–12 months.
Ideal for: Thinning, blending, and texturizing all hair types, suitable for salon professionals, barbers, and students.

What hair types are these thinners suitable for?

What’s the difference between the 5.5" and 6" thinners?

Do they cause hair damage?
When used correctly (gentle snips, avoiding over-thinning), they minimize damage. Improper use (e.g., cutting too close to the scalp) can cause uneven texture, so follow professional techniques.

Can they be used by beginners?
Yes, their affordable price and classic design make them suitable for students and beginners, though practice is needed to master thinning techniques.

How do I maintain them?
Clean after each use, sanitize with alcohol or barbicide, oil the pivot point regularly, and sharpen every 6–12 months by a professional to maintain performance. Store in a protective case.

How do they compare to other brands?
Hair Tools Basix Thinners are more affordable than premium brands like Matakki or Kasho but offer reliable performance for students and professionals. They lack advanced features like convex blades or swivel thumbs found in higher-end models (e.g., Matakki Barber 60).
