Frequently Asked Questions
What does an 80 percent cut ratio mean?
An 80 percent cut ratio means the JGC-12 cuts roughly 80 percent of the hair captured between the blades in a single close. This is dramatically more than a typical 30-40 tooth thinner and creates bold, visible texture.
When should I use a 12-tooth texturizer instead of a standard thinner?
Use the JGC-12 when you want to create dramatic movement, break up heavy lines, or remove substantial bulk in specific sections. For subtle blending, a 30 or 40 tooth thinner is more appropriate.
