In this lesson, you will be introduced to the fundamental technique of scissor holding in barbering. Proper scissor holding is crucial for achieving precision and control while cutting hair. You will learn the correct way to hold the scissors and understand the importance of maintaining a steady grip throughout the haircutting process.

With the comb, there are two main holds I use. Firstly hold it gently between your middle finger and thumb, ensuring a good grip without straining your hand. Secondly and mainly for cutting the top of the head and drawing sections pinch the comb between your index finger and thumb.

A crucial aspect of holding the scissor and comb together is knowing how to position them properly. Practice holding the scissor and comb at the correct angle to develop muscle memory and improve your overall skills as a barber.

Lastly, always keep in mind the importance of maintaining a relaxed and steady hand when holding the scissor and comb together. Tension and shaky hands can result in uneven cuts or accidents. To prevent this, make sure to relax your hand and arm muscles while working. Remember, barbering requires precision, and a steady hand is key to achieving professional results.
