These scissors will give you split ends.
These are very disappointing. I have hair down to my elbows and trim my own hair at home regularly to save time and money. I cut my hair with these and on close inspection noticed that my ends did NOT have a clean cut. The ends looked less than fresh, with a whitish speck on the end of each hair (like a split end waiting to split). The tension knob didn't help either. I'd say I had about 25% split ends I wanted to eliminate, but instead I created a full head of hair of 100% primed and ready to split hairs. Talk about unfortunate!! My goal of a healthy trim totally backfired. The $6 Goody brand hair cutting scissors I bought at Walmart are WORLDS better than these. I bought these Equinox shears to step it up a level from the Goody scissors, haaaaaa. Total fail. Goody for the win!! I have since gone back to the Goody scissors and I'm so pleased because they offer a quality sharp cut. The only advantage these &#34;fancier&#34; Equinox kind have are the pouch, the thinning shears (which I also don't trust considering the effect the regular shears had), and they look sleeker than the Goody brand (earning them 2 stars instead of 1). Overall, my advice is that if you want nice scissors and you're a hairstylist (and your clients will give you a weird look if you use Goody shears on them), get more expensive ones than these. I imagine it must be hit or miss with mid-level shears and these are definitely a miss in my book (considering these were terrible for me but the $6 Goody ones are cheap and amazing in comparison). If you're a regular person like me, do yourself (your wallet and your hair) a favor and get some Goody shears or any other cheap hair scissors (probably worth a try) at your local store.
