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.

Kizamu (5.5", 30 teeth): Suited for precise blending and slicing with ergonomic comfort.

Haito (5.5", ~27–30 teeth): Versatile for general thinning and texturizing.

Basix (5.5", 27 teeth; 6", 30 teeth): Great for all-round blending, especially for students.

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

Maintenance: Oil the pivot point weekly, adjust the tension screw if loose, and have blades sharpened professionally every 6–12 months.
Ideal for: Thinning, blending, and texturizing all hair types in professional salons, barber shops, or for students, with varying teeth counts for different thinning intensities.

What hair types are these thinners suitable for?
Suitable for all hair types (straight, curly, wavy, thick, fine), ideal for removing bulk, blending layers, or adding texture, with tooth count (27–36) affecting thinning intensity.

What’s the difference between the models?
Akuma (6", 36 teeth) has a bold black/red Teflon-coated design for aggressive thinning. Kizamu (5.5", 30 teeth) offers a titanium-coated, ergonomic crane handle for precision. Haito (5.5", ~27–30 teeth) is versatile with offset handles. Basix (5.5", 27 teeth; 6", 30 teeth) is budget-friendly with classic handles for students.

Are they vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes, made from stainless steel with coatings (Teflon, titanium) and no animal-derived materials, and Hair Tools adheres to cruelty-free standards.

What are the key features?
Akuma: Black/red Teflon coating, 36 teeth, convex edges, red wallet. Kizamu: Titanium coating, 30 teeth, crane offset handle, purple wallet. Haito: Offset handles, semi-convex edges. Basix: 27–30 teeth, semi-convex edges, classic handles, leather-effect wallet.

Are they suitable for professional use?
Yes, all are handmade with semi-convex (Basix, Haito) or convex (Akuma, Kizamu) edges for professional blending and texturizing, though Basix is also ideal for students.

Can beginners use them?
Yes, Basix is beginner-friendly due to its affordability and classic design. Akuma, Kizamu, and Haito require more skill for precision thinning but are manageable with practice.

Do they cause hair damage?
When used correctly (gentle snips, mid-length to ends), they minimize damage. Over-thinning or cutting near the scalp can cause uneven texture, so use professional techniques.

How do I maintain them?
Clean after use, sanitize with alcohol or barbicide, oil the pivot point weekly, sharpen every 6–12 months, and store in the provided wallet to protect blades.

What’s the benefit of different tooth counts?
Higher tooth counts (e.g., Akuma’s 36) remove more hair for aggressive thinning, while lower counts (e.g., Basix 5.5", 27) offer finer blending for subtle texturizing.

How do they compare to other brands?
Akuma and Kizamu rival premium brands like Matakki for convex edges but are more affordable. Haito and Basix are budget-friendly, outperforming generic scissors in durability but lacking advanced features like swivel thumbs found in high-end models.
