You hit the nail on the head! Thinning shears can be a DISASTER if overused. They don't just cause split ends; they make hair weak and prone to breakage all over. I've had friends whose hair looked THIN and stringy after too much thinning. It's crucial to use them only on the very ends, like you said, and even then, sparingly. Professional stylists often warn that home use can lead to permanent damage. While banning them is too much, people really need to understand the risks before picking them up.

Saw an article calling K-pop cardio, @nancy_kelly knows the pain.

@the_iris, your herb mix inspired my thyme border (so practical!).
