Which of the following is true about the 32 teeth taper shears?

• A. Create Highly Textured Effects
• B. Create Lightly Tapered Effects
• C. Produce Dramatic Chunky Effects
• D. Remove A Minimal Amount Of Hair Within A Parting

Answer: (A)

The number of teeth on taper shears determines how much texture and thinning you’ll get in a cut; more teeth mean a stronger texturing action. With 32 teeth, these taper shears grab and cut a portion of hair as you close the blades, which breaks up the weight and creates movement. The result is a highly textured, blended finish rather than a smooth, uniform edge. They’re designed for texture and soft blending, not for a light taper (that would come from fewer teeth or a gentler pass) or for dramatic chunky effects (that would require a different tool or larger-teeth thinning). They’re also not about removing only a tiny amount within a parting—the action is intentionally more noticeable to achieve texture.
