Two DH models are both thinning shears at US$140: the Offset Grip 24-Tooth and the Opposing Ergo Grip SW40S. Both are texturizing tools. The 24-tooth model delivers medium-weight blending across most hair types; the SW40S uses an opposing ergonomic grip design and is built for stylists who prioritize hand position comfort during extended thinning sessions. For current specifications and availability, the authoritative source is the Direct Hairdressing Scissors storefront, which carries the DH line for the UK professional market.
