Most of us are currently living a life were everything is in the rush and where we often forget to take care of our self and specially of our hair in the right manner, but when we try to do that after a session of blow-drying, brushing, coloring, and hot tools, scruffy split ends seem inevitable.
We recently had the pleasure to introduce a new hairdressing service called HOT SCISSORS CUT that looks to cure splits ends with heat treated blades. As usual this kind of services are more popular in Europe in High End Salons, but we were pleasantly surprised to see that this kind of service starts to be popular also here.
The use of electrically-heated scissors, thinning shears is a relatively new evolution in haircutting technology, but the concept is not. Many East-Asian cultures have used heated blades to cut the hair and singe closed the ends to prevent split ends and fraying. In some cases, there are barbers who even use smoldering wood to singe the hair off instead of cutting it, but luckily due to new technology available, this for sure is not our case.
The general idea is that these heated blades help to seal the cut end of the hair and prevent the potential loss of moisture and splitting of the cut ends of the hair

Why you should choose HOT SCISSORS HAIR CUT instead of TRADITIONAL HAIR CUT ?
As a quick general information HOT SCISSORS CUT compared to normal/classic cut brings the following advantages:
* Sealed tips
* Regeneration of damaged hair
* Prevent split ends
* The substance of the hair is protected
Using traditional scissors and shears, the ends of the hair are made somewhat "jagged" when cut. This condition can be more- or less- pronounced depending on how sharp the blades of the tools are when used. With dull scissors, the ends are often crushed, making them not only jagged but frayed as well. This can lead to split ends with subsequent styling.
With the HOT SCISSORS CUT services the ends of the hair are sealed during cutting where less damaging is done to your hair compared to traditional cutting. After a traditional cutting session the hair cuticle is open at the point of cut and leave the hair susceptible to environmental stress after a cutting session, action that can cause frizz and dryness. The new procedure makes that natural moisturizing and care substances are retained and the hair is effectively protected against environmental influences. The result is a volume, shine and elasticity where splits ends disappear with regular use.
Very important to be understood is that your hairdresser can not reach all the hair on the first HOT SCISSORS CUT session because every person through the natural hair growth has always different hair lengths. Normally will be expected during the first HOT SCISSORS CUT with an approximate effect of 60%. That is why is also required to have regular haircut sessions if you wish to achieve an outstanding result.
One of the benefit of this new technology is that temperature is always adjusted to the individual hair proprieties, therefore your hair receives the optimal temperature to seal the hair end when cut. This keeps the cut looking fresh for weeks, but this won't cure splits ends for good. You still have to be consistent with regular haircuts and have a good and healthy approach toward your hair.
This is also an excellent option for people not willing to sacrifice their length to repair damage, or people that wishes to grow their hair faster as with no more split ends the hair is healthier and the natural elasticity is preserved in such way that on your next cutting session the hair length that needs to be removed due to splits end and unhealthy look will be much much less, making this a very effective and much faster way of reaching the regrowth goals that you might have in mind.
Maximum effect of HOT SCISSORS CUT service can be seen on fine, frizzy hair because they smooth ragged ends, making hair look and feel more voluminous.
Having a beautiful and healthy hair is hard and tedious work as we all know it, but worth all the trouble to get there and just makes us feel really good after.
