Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Taiyo only have 15 teeth when most thinners have 30?
Fewer teeth with wider spacing remove more hair per pass and create chunkier texture. The 15-tooth count is better classified as a texturizer rather than a thinner, ideal for creating movement and removing significant bulk.
