1 & 2 Thinning Shears for Wispy Hair Styles. Thinning shears are an essential item for working with doll hair, in my opinion. I have an ancient pair that is somewhat rusted and is probably 40 years old or more. They work great, so you don't need fancy expensive scissors. I have seen professional quality thinning shears for $24.99 but unless you're a hair stylist the inexpensive shears that we offer here may be all you need for working with dolls.

The shears are made of good quality ice tempered steel. These are the wide tooth style which I prefer (28 tooth.)

We have the single side thinning shears, which have been the most popular for dolls. (Double side thinning shears have teeth on both blades rather than just one.)

3 Barber Shears for Cutting Hair! I have an expensive pair of Singer brand scissors for cutting hair, and I also have a pair of these. I can't tell the difference. They look the same, feel the same, cut the same. The only difference is the Singer name brand on my "expensive" shears. These are the longer 7.5 inch shears (not the short trimming shears.)

4 Trimmer Scissors Here is a nice handy pair of small scissors for trimming and clipping. I have these laying around everywhere, easy to grab when I'm working. They are 4" trimmers. One is not enough.
