DOWA Passion 2 Step Thinning Scissors
by DOWA · Thinning Scissors
What it is
The Passion 2 Step is a patented thinning scissor from DOWA International. Its tooth design encourages hair to roll down the blade edge rather than being trapped, cutting each strand at random to eliminate uniform cut lines and create a softer, naturally blended result. Available in 16-tooth (20%), 28-tooth (25%), and 40-tooth (30%) configurations.

Professional Opinion
Because the 2-step teeth cut strands at random rather than trapping them, the finish lands soft with no uniform cut lines. Pick the 16-tooth for lighter 20 percent work or the 40-tooth for nearer 30 percent removal; one 6.0 inch thinner covers most blending briefs.
