Many people believe it is enough to simply “sharpen” the scissors.
However, without proper
adjustment:
• scissors may start “chewing” the hair
• smooth movement deteriorates
• strain on the hand increases
• cutting consistency deteriorates
📌 Even sharp scissors may work incorrectly if the blade geometry or tension adjustment is compromised.
