Abstract
Afforded are thinning shears optimal for cutting crosswise hair growing along the scalp, as well as crosswise hair disturbing the passing of a comb through hair bundles. The thinning shears, in thinning shears furnished with a comb blade and a bar blade for haircutting, are characterized in that the comb blade is longer than the bar blade, and the tip-edge of the comb blade is corner-rounding processed. Adopting this configuration makes it possible to set the tip-edge portion of the comb blade on a scalp and slide the comb blade heading in the direction that the hair grows, to efficiently thin out crosswise hair such as would disturb combing, without injuring the scalp.

Haircutting thinning shears comprising:
- a comb blade and a bar blade, wherein the comb blade is provided with a number of slits spaced apart at intervals, and having teeth between the slits, the slits and the teeth continuing to the comb blade's tip-edge portion such that the tip-edge portion ends in one of the teeth, the comb blade being longer than the bar blade, the comb blade's tip-edge portion being corner-rounding processed to make the tip-edge portion arcuate at its tip and make sharp edges of the arcuate tip rounded, and the tooth in the tip-edge portion having a width not greater than 1 mm;
- and
- an indentation being provided in a tip end of each of the teeth;
- wherein
- the configuration of the arcuate tip-edge portion and the rounded edges of the comb blade enable the thinning shears to be stood upright on hair on a scalp and the tip-edge portion to be slid along the scalp heading in the direction that the hair grows, to catch in the indentations crosswise hair that grows along the scalp in a direction different from the rest of the hair and cut the crosswise hair with the thinning shears.
