Micro-Serrated Edge
Micro-Serrated Edge
Quick look
- Grip: Fine teeth lock slippery strands in place so lines stay exact.1,2
- Training tool: Gives students and barbers a safety net while they master scissor-over-comb control.2
- Trade-off: Teeth snag instantly if you try to slide cut or channel through hair.1,2
Why stylists pick it
Micro-serrated blades shine on straight, silky, or oily hair that loves to escape a smooth edge. The tooth profile grabs each fibre so every close happens right where you intend, making them a confidence booster for fringe detailing, barber foundations, and newcomer practice.1,2
Technique map
- Precise wet or dry blunt cutting on fine hair that tends to slip.1
- Fringe and perimeter detailing where a steady close matters more than speed.2
- Entry-level scissor-over-comb work before graduating to a convex tool.2
Usage notes
- Keep closures decisive; half strokes chew the section because the teeth hold the hair mid-blade.2
- Brush the teeth between passes so product build-up does not increase drag.1
- Pair with a smoother shear for slide or slice techniques to avoid catching the section.1,2
Maintenance
- Tell your sharpener to preserve the serrations-polishing them away turns the edge into a dull bevel.1,2
- Use a soft brush and oil to clear lint from the grooves after every client.1
- Store closed to protect the tooth tips from bending.
