That old barber told me to stop using thinning shears so much...

An old-timer named Frank at the shop said I was overusing my thinning shears and wrecking my blends. I ignored him for 6 months, but after 3 bad haircuts in a row I tried his method and my fade lines look way cleaner now. Has anyone else been told to ditch their thinning shears completely?

Yeah Frank knows what's up, thinning shears really mess with your fades.

Did Frank break down why the thinning shears specifically mess up fades or just tell you to stop using them? I'm curious if he had a real technical reason for calling you out on it or if it was more about your hand getting lazy. Cause I've heard some barbers say the shears themselves aren't the problem, just how guys rely on them too much.
