Heated Edge
Heated Edge
Quick look
- Cuticle seal: Electrically heated blades singe the freshly cut end, helping lock in moisture and slow split ends.1,2
- Service niche: Ideal as an add-on for clients battling dryness or chemical damage - not as a replacement for everyday shears.1,2
- Workflow: Requires a powered base, temperature checks, and deliberate pacing to avoid thermal shock.1
Why stylists pick it
Thermo-style shears pair a standard cutting action with gentle heat so the cuticle closes immediately after the snip. Salons market the service to guests dealing with chronic split ends, promising smoother finishes and longer-lasting results between trims.1,2
Technique map
- Damage-repair trims after colour corrections or lightning services.1,2
- Mid-length smoothing where sealing the ends reduces fuzz and flyaways.2
- Deluxe care menus that combine treatments with a protective finish.1
Usage notes
- Match temperature to hair density - finer textures need lower settings to avoid scorching.1
- Work at a measured pace; rushing the close can leave uneven heat lines.1
- Clean the blades between sections so residue does not bake onto the heater.1
Maintenance
- Wipe the heating elements after each client and store the tool cool and dry.1
- Schedule periodic servicing to keep thermostats calibrated and wiring safe.1
- Offer a follow-up trim every 6-8 weeks; sealing ends still relies on consistent care.2
