How to Make Thick Hair Thinner

Having ultra thick hair can be extremely difficult to keep sometimes, and it can be even more difficult to style, due to the excessive mass of hair. To make your hair more managable, you will need to thin the hair out. This process will typically be done by a professional hair stylist when you go into the salon, but it is possible to thin your hair out at home as well.

Things You'll Need

• Comb
• Hair thinning scissors

Instructions

1. Comb your hair out to remove any tangles. You can do this with your hair damp if it makes the combing process easier.

2. Open the thinning scissors and slide them around 1/3 to 1/2 of the way up the scalp.

3. Cut down and open the scissors back up without pulling them while closed. Because the thinning scissors have "teeth" only small portions of the hair will be removed.

4. Proceed to the next area, where you just cut and perform the same process. Continue doing this until you have made your way all around your head.

5. Comb out the excess hair. You may want to take a shower to rinse out any hair lingering. You will now have a thinner head of hair, which will allow you to style and take care of it easier.
