Professional Opinion
The flat tooth keeps moving through wet or dry hair without snagging, which is what busy texturizing work demands. Match the rate to the job: 760 for subtle blending, 761 for everyday texture, 762 for heavy removal. Each comes at 6.0 inches.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
- Use only a sharpener experienced with Hikari convex edges
- Hikari recommends authorized service only
